    Sunshine girl how have you been? Hi Alicelopes, I apologize I haven't been on here in a few years. How has your progress been? I was really happy with my band I had lost over 42 pounds and was almost to my goal weight when I ended up in the ER 2 weeks ago and they told me they had to due an emerency surgury to remove my band..... I was devistated. It has been a really rough 2 weeks, they pumped me with so much Fluid I came home from the hospital 25 lbs heavier, 15 has come off the other 10 has not and I am thinking it is no longer Water weight because I can eat completly normal again. I am determined not to gain it back but it is going to be an up hill battle.
  2. The last 2 weeks have been hell. I had to have an emerency band removal due to slippage. I was banded in 2012 and had my band removed (not by choice) on March 17th, 2015. They pumped me with some much Fluid I came home from the hosiptal 25 pounds heavier and ended up back in the ER a day later becuse I couldnt breath. Most of the Water weight has come off 2 weeks later but now I can eat completly normal. Even with monitoring my calories and exercise I am up 10lbs. The whole thing has been really depressing and I am worried about regaining all my wight without the band even though I am determined not to.
  3. Hi There, I was banded a few weeks ago and so far so good. I started out with a BMI of 31 and I was just wondering if any other low BMI banders have had good weight loss results with the band? So far things are going great and I am so happy I got banded but just wanted to see how things are going for people in the long term? I had my first fill a week ago still and have not found the happy green spot as of yet. Thanks!

    Bmi 30 - Am I Crazy To Be Thinking About This?

    I don't think you are crazy for wanting to get the surgery. I had surgery 4 weeks ago and a BMI of 31, I did research for 2 years before I decided to go through with it. No Matter if you have a BMI of 45 or a BMI of 30 we all struggle with the same issue. It is not an easy fix and you really do have to follow the bandlife style but I am glad I made the decision to do it! Good Luck!

    Alicelopes- Have you had surgery yet? I had surgery about 4 weeks ago with a BMI of 31 and the same issues as you. So far I have no regrets!
