I lost 110 pounds with lap band since 2011. I'm very happy with my band. Had no problems. I keep mine filled to 7 or 8 so I feel safe with food and it works best for me. I eat very small meals, protein is important, and I walk daily for at least 30 minutes. I'm grateful every day. Lapland has worked for me. I didn't want any other surgery and still don't. If you work with it the band will work for you. There will always be new weight loss surgeries.

I have to have my band up to 7 or 8 cc for it to work best for me. I had it reduced to 5cc and I could eat way too much. I keep it filled at 7 or 8 so I feel safe with food. My band works. I've had it 6 years. Very happy with it. It helps me feel safe and normal.

Dont Think.I Know Hos To Use The Quote....Oh Well.

I Have Days Also Where Food Goes Down Easily. Other Days Barely Get Anything Down. Makea It Hard To Eat With Others. I Drink Something.Hot.first.Thing In The Morning Which I Do Think Helps. I Have 7Cc Fill In 11cc Band. Thanks.

Hi, I Had My Lapband Surgery In 2011 AT age 56. I've Lost 130 Lbs. My Longterm.Chronic.Asthma Is Gone. HBPressure Is Gone. My Allergies Are Gone. I Can Do Many More Active Things. I Take Yoga. I CanKeep Up Better With My Kids (Older Mom). Only Thong Is Akin Doeant Snap Back As Well As When Younger, But Not Too Bad. When I Am All Done 30 More Pounds, I Will Have A Tummy Tuck And Breast Lift. It Is So Much Better After Banding. Now, I Have A Chance. I Have A Life. Like So Many Others Wish I Had Courage To Do It Years Before. Thanks.

Sounds like the unfill worked. Must have just been too tight. I have had days where some foods I ate the day before more easily, were much harder to eat. I've never had days where water or soup didn't stay down. I've not ever been that tight, I guess. I'm at 8cc, I think that is right, and I don't want any more fills. I'm doing okay where I am. What I do notice is that sometimes the band is tighter than other times. It's kind of strange, but it changes. I've accepted this and try to drink warm liquids in the mornings which seem to help. I have gone over to crock pot cooking as this makes foods moist and easier to eat for me. I think everyone has to figure out what works for themselves, but the band does seem to change. It's good that if you couldn't keep liquids down, that you got an unfill. Glad things are better for you. I was banded Feb. 7th, 2011, 80 pounds lost so far. I hope to reach 100 pounds by my first anniversary. Then just keep on losing until I reach goal. My band works well for me. Thanks.
