Proud of everyone banded 2010 and have only lost 45lbs...Just shame...Really need direction to getting it right

Also Dr. Cywes is my doctor ... SMH

Thank you ladies...I will be reach out for support. Not a regular on site but defiantely trying to become one for motivation. I was banaded nearly 2yrs ago and have yet to reach my goal weight. ...Whats your goals?

Looking for support

I believe the results are better .... I am thinking of doing it. I just found out my friend had it and she has lost 54lbs in 4 months. Good Luck

Hi, Everyone Just wanting feedback on the Plication Technique....My Dr. is doing this procedure and the weightloss is greater for patients who had the plication vs the band.... What do you think?

I'm not having the problem a friend of mine is so we were looking for advice

I had Acid Reflux before getting my lap band. My Doctor repaired a large Hiatal Hernia also. Since I have had my band my Tongue and Mouth still burn and sting (a sympton I had from the Acid Reflux). Sometimes after eating I still have this sympton with Fire coming up my chest. My doctor says there is no way I could have Acid Reflux since I had the Hernia repaired and I also have the lap band. He has had me drink barium infront of the x-ray machine on several occassions. In the beginning you could see the barium go to where the Hernia repair was and then it would shoot back up to my throat. My doctor said that was because of the Hernia repair and the swelling I had in there. Since then, he has done 2 Endoscopies on me and wants to do one more. I really do not want to have another one done. It was painful especially the second one. Does anyone else have this type of problem? I have been burning since last night and have been drinking Malox but that does not help much.

Hi, I received a fill on 05/08/12 ...I feel a little tight...Can eat little (mash pots and slimming a lot ) I was wondering how long does it take for my body or comfort to come after a fill.........I really only had 3 fills that worked ...I haven't been to the doctor in 6 months until yesterday so i am trying to maintain this fill... It seems I cant do the fills I always have to return for an unfill...SMH

Going on liquids for 2days and try at this band again...I believe I am failing the band the band is not failing me...NO fill since October but still cant eat much therefore its my poor choices... Going to get it right one way or another down 45lbs since banded...Any suggestions

I dont think it's mind over matter when I dropped 9lbs in a week from an overfill but Thank you

Unfourunately, I can not kick the habits of sweets...My bodycraves sweets no matter how much i resist, I need something sweet during the day. I am approaching my one year anniversary and I will be the first to say I have done terrible. I just need to find something that will detox my body of the cravings. I dont have any restriction because I am afraid of the fills.Everytime I get a fill it's an overfill and I just simply feel miserable. Regrouping myself
