I had the band done in Feb 2012 and lost approx. 100 lbs. first 6 months. I started drinking diet pop with my meals and I gained all my weight back and more, Now I want to have the sleeve done but having a hard time with insurance. I got a price from WeightLoss Agents.com for $11,500.00. Don't want to pay it but it seems like I don't have a choice. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks alot, I appreciate your story and Good Luck for the Future.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the support.

I stopped going to my surgeon because was ashamed. I started drinking pop to wash the food past the band. Stopped the protein drinks and was right back to eating wrong things.

I was banded in 2012 and lost approx. 90lbs. Since then I have gained all my weight back and I have given up. I dont no where to turn. I am a 58 yr old male.

I was banded on Feb 03/2012 and have lost approx 60lbs. My problem I am having is with loose stools. It is almost like a water faucet at times. The only changes in my diet is that I am drinking decaf coffee with a non dairy creamer. Just wondered if any one had any advise.
