My doctor said no alcohol for a month and I know he's not a big fan of it ever because its empty calories. Since we aren't suppose to drink with or right after meals I was wondering how to add a glass of wine with dinner back. Any advice? Also, any other input on adding some cocktails back into your life?

He did tell me to take pepcide but I totally forgot!! Thanks will add that in and hope it works!

I'm also a revision patient. Had my band for a little over 5 years. Lost 20 the first 6-8 months then another 30 lbs over the next 2 - 3 years! Yep, 50 lbs in 3 years. Then over the next 2 steadily regained 30.
I didn't have horrible complications. But, I was only in the fill "sweet spot" for a very short period of time. I had to diet without any real band assistance. If it was too tight, I had horrible acid reflux and basically ate "slider" foods - they go down easily but are usually the higher fat foods. Too loose (which was just a smidgen removed) and it was like it wasn't there.
Nothing like having WLS then not having a tool that works. At least for me. I just wish I could have gone back and had this surgery then!

Please go the sleeve. I just had my band out 3 days ago after having it 7 yrs! While i did loose weight origanly i put it all back on. I am actually now going bypass than sleeve as it has shown better weightloss for xbandits
