  1. Hey buds its been almost a year... Sadly to say I have failed majorly in this decision. 40lbs down and 6lbs gained back I am ashamed to say in total it only 34 in a YEAR. It appears the band was placed in the wrong spot and with a minor fill I want able to even drink Water year around it was get a fill starve and dehydrate for two days then get an unfill and feel the starvation and have almost a bowl of chipotle fill in my so called pouch within one hour lunch. It been said the only way to get it better is to do reversal job. Lately I have been haunted by tough of just getting a sleeve any thoughts or similar stories to share??

  4. Hi all so my doc who is out of network took advantage of me. Prior to procedures I was told that he would accept what insurance gives him and after this whole thing he billed a redic amount to insurance and only got portion of his bill so now he is billing me the crazy difference and apparently bc he is our of network he can do it. Any one know any legal grounds here I mean he waived my copays due to hardship he promised he wouldn't bill me anything I did not sign anything but also don't really have much execpt verbal conf I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work

  6. So I am an post op since November with 2cc and today I felt a really weird feeling like I ate my wheat toast and I'm guessing i didn't chew it well so I felt it stop and a stuck felling but this felling radiated to my head and teeth so I felt it pass and waited a min and purposely took another big bite to make it stuck and again it radiated to my head an teeth. WTH is going on?? I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work

If u lost huge amount in short time u lost the weight in correctly Therefore u will have issues bandsters must loose slow and healthy to stay well.

  10. I have hit a stop for few weeks now. I don't See much food on here I mean 1/2 fruit and 1 toast for Breakfast is far from a lot of food. That way less that the band diet. I have counted calories on each day and they are all within 1000 what we should be on now anyways given using skinny cow wheat and light products. Am I missing something?? These are healthy choices beets apple tuna eggs??? I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work

  18. Thank you all actually a guy came back to work today from paternity leave and saw me in the lunchroom and was like whoa u look smaller and I heisted to agree but he was like no I haven't seen u in a while so i see it. it's true that maybe we see ourselves daily so we really can't tell. Hooray to all of us may we reach our goals and stay there. Also wanted to share a coworker who I have heard had the band done years ago ( place or work 300 employees) I don't talk to her just smile and nod but I have heard she was huge and now she's ok size but yesterday i saw her getting bacon egg and cheese sandwich and today I saw her devour a chocolate cake like a Good piece.

    I am 9 weeks post op and down 28 without pre op i never had one needs less to say I have violated few times And haven't been to the gym past 2 weeks due to flu in the family I know i could be down more however 3.1lbs a week is a great slow way to loose weight we are here to be inspired and motivated not being jelly of who lost how much. I am proud for each and every one knowing how hard it's been. For me besides weight loss biggest success is quitting smoking therefore I am more proud of my self than ever before.

    Total weightloss from 11/19 today is 30 however this is not including previous diet. Ladies those that lost more than 30 at most likely including pre op diets. What ever weight loss we lost we couldn't lose it in 2 Mo with our the band so please be proud and if u slip get right back on the role again and success will come best of luck I don't regret any decision in my life because at the end I will make it work
