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?

I actually am no longer weighing 2 x day. I have been on a very long plateau and have now started back on metformin, zocor and lisinopril. I have been having a really hard time losing, I have gained a good 5 lbs instead. Very frustrated, still working out 5x week for about 45 minutes and still no losing. Need some advise!!!

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!!!

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!

Anyone taking Metformin think it is helping them with weight loss?

How do you take the apple cider vinegar? I would think it would not agree with your stomach...

You are doing great! I haven't lost that much. I was banded on October 5, 2011. I finally hit the 25lb lose mark. It has been sloooooooow. Since I started the pre-program I have lost a total of 32lb. What is your secret? What are your typical meals for the day?

I was banded October 5, 2011 and have lost almost 25lbs. I already have 8.5cc in my band and the scale has not moved in 2 months. I knew it would be slow due to my diabets and low BMI of 35 when I started. But I'm getting a little frustrated. I know it will happen I just wish it would be a bit quicker. I just haven't hit my "sweet spot" yet and I need another fill.

I had LapBand by Dr Boorse on October 5, 2011 and have done great. I ahve lost almost 25lbs since surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Boorse. Good Luck. I am in the Allentown area, keep in touch.

I have Aetna also and was approved. My BMI was hovering around 35 for over 2+ years. As long as you can prove your BMI was 40 without comorbities or 35 with comorbities for at least 2 years. You should not have a problem. Good Luck!
. I have Aetna Health Maintenance Organization..Im currently 270 with a BMI of 41....I know i qualify with a BMI >40..I'm hearing that Aetna requires a 2 year weight history. Will they deny bc I havent been 270 for the last 2 years. My weight fluctated from 225 to 270.

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?
