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.

I get mine from BariatricChoice.com. They offer a lot of Protein foods. This is the same Protein supplements sold by a local weight loss center.

I really like their wildberry drink mixes.

good luck.

I feel the same way. I have people comment saying "wow how much weight have you lost?" Others can see it but I can't. This is what keeps me going.

Just keep thinking of how sexy you will look in that new bikini and how much more entergy you are going to have once you lose the weight...

I went shopping today as I am needing some smaller clothes!! I tried on a size 12 pants and they were too BIG!!. I like having this problem. I could not find a size 10 I liked so I did not get any today. I quess I will wear my too big and baggy pant to work tomorrow.

NSV for me!!

I have this problem all the time. I recently found some chewable Fiber gummies. They are helping me so far. Fiber Advance is the name of the fiber gummies.

Good luck.

I use http://www.bariatricchoice.com to order my Protein Drinks and Snacks from. This is the only place I have found that is affordable and taste great.

I want to reach my goal of 125 by June 1st. My birthday! I also want to be a runner.
