loseit

Banded in 2012. Lost 60# but I have gained back 40#?. I can’t feel restriction now. Have I stretched my pouch. Anyone else??

http://I get a fill today. Going to give it two weeks to see if things change. Dr says it should be pretty tight. If after two weeks I may have a upper GI to look and see what things look like. Praying restriction is back.

I am gaining weight and I can not feel restriction anymore. I was banded 2/2/2012. I have had fill after fill and still they same. What do I do?

I am having to take 3-4 antacids everyday due to burning/hurting pain in stomach? Acid is not coming up, but stays in stomach. Can lab band cause ulcers? Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do about it? I have an appointment March 19th with my new lap band doctor. My lap band surgeon recently passed away, so I have a new doctor now. Any insight you might have i would greatly appreciate.

I am wanting to connect with any Arkansas banders that might be on this site? How are you doing with your weight loss? Any problems? Who is your Band Doctor? I was banded February 2012. Dr. Wellborn was my Doctor. Starting weight 198, current weight 158, lowest weight 138. I can't seem to lose any more. I live in Russellville, AR

I can't seem to lose any more weight!! I got my band 2012. I lost down to 138. I am now 158. I don't feel any restriction, but I do get heartburn everyday after I eat. I really want to lose 25-30 more lbs, but I can't seem to lose again. Has anyone else has this experience? What do you recommend? Help please!!!

I have been banded for 5 years. I can't not lose weight anymore. I have actually gain back 20 lbs. I get fills, then have to have it removed because of reflux. I can eat anything and any amount. I don't fill that much restriction anymore. The only thing that bothers me is the port area because of the weight I have gain back make my port hurt. Anyone else have this program or any suggestions? would really like to lose this 20lbs I have gained back. Thanks,

I have a 10cc band and it has 8cc's in it. I should feel a lot of restriction, but I don't. I can eat anything. Just wish I could get to my goal.

I was banded in 2012. I love my band. It helped me to lose 60 lbs the 1st & 2nd year. I was almost at my goal. Then I just quite losing. I have had a lot of fills and unfills over the past two years due to coughing at night and heartburn. Over past two years I have gain back almost 20 lbs!! I can't seem to get the right restriction now to lose more. Has anyone else has this problem. I don't want to gain this back. I just don't feel like I have the right restriction or can get the right restriction now. Any suggestion?

I am worried that I have stretched my pouch. Can you stretch your pouch if you go to bed after eating while food is still in your pouch? Has anyone got any information on a stretched pouch?

I have been banded almost 2years. I have 8.4cc in my 10cc band. I can get anything. I have lost 60lbs and still need to lose 15 more, but I can't seem to lose anymore. Have I stretched my pouch? How will I know?

I have not lost any weight since April. I am 10-15 pounds from my goal. I don't think I need a fill. I think I might be a little to tight. Suggestions?? Can being to tight stop weight loss??

I too showed your picture to my hubby. Wishing he looked like you. hahaha.

Try to drink warm Water. I found some "Fiber Advance"gummies at Wal-mart. Taste great!

I am 11 months out and have this happen a lot! I stay the same for several weeks, lose a few pounds, then nothing. I comes off, just slower than I want it to.
