    Type II Diabetes Diet with LapBand?

    NEED HELP! I had lap band almost 3 years ago and was not taking any meds. When I finally got around to getting my blood work done, it was all too high. Started taking metformin again, which did not work to lower my levels. Then I added Januvia, which did not work at all. Stopped that and started Glimeperide which made my gain about 10lbs very quickly. I was so frustrated I went back to my PCP and we are trying Byetta. Still I have not lost any weight and am very frustrated. the last time I saw my Bariatric Surgeon he told me he did not want to adjust me any further because I'm already at 9.5cc and I have an 11cc band. what are you guys eating to maintain sugar and lose weight?

    Band Slipped and unfilled

    I think I may have a slippage as well, I had a rib out of algnment that was put back in place by my chiro. About 2 weeks later I have been having what feels like stomach spasms, I can eat fine, no reflux just some back pain along with the spasms. What is the process if the band has slipped?
  3. SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT THESE STOMACH SPASMS?

      I did!! Very bad ones. I was on medication for 2 weeks post surgery. I am now a month out, and only get them once in a great while (maybe 1 every other day). They DO get better. Hang in there!!

    Back on Metformin for about 2 weeks now. Scale has still not moving for almost a year now. Getting very frustrated!!!! Band is almost at full capacity, I have an 11cc band. WTF!!!
  10. why oh why won't the scale move? :(

  11. Gov. Christie had the same surgeon as I did, Dr Richard Boorse. In Allentown, PA at LVH, he was even on the news last night. Good Luck to him!
