My band was removed on Nov 6,2017 and i am scared to death i'm going to re-gain the weight back. Anyone else out there in my shoes if there is, What are you guys doing to keep the weight off.

I think I was going through the same thing you are going through, the acid was sooooo bad i was throwing up in my sleep and i just kept coughing like I was sick. I had to sleep sitting up or i would choke. I'm taking Phentermine and i can said it does help me. I was banded in 2012 lost about 70 pounds. I'm good with weight now at 150 pounds I just hope to stay here. I'm 46. When the band was removed in the bed next to me was a lady who had the sleeve and i dont understand how but i overheard she had a leakage and need surgery too

Thank you for your respond, Within 2 days of the removal im feeling 150% better, but I do feel hungry when i went back to see the doctor and i told him my feeling he gave me a pill so to control my hunger which is working, but i have not gotten on the scale. When i do eat i just make believe i still have the band. Keep me posted on your removal. What is your situation if you don't mind me asking.

Hello, Welcome to the lapband family. I was banded on March 2, 2012. I have lost a total of 30 pounds doesnt seem alot but I'm happy I started at 220 so i guess its ok.I also didnt tell anyone i had surgrey so losing it slow is good. Well my first week i had aolt of liquids, ice pops, chicken broth. 2nd week sceabled eggs and creamy spinach. I got filled twice. the 1st one was uncomfortable and 2nd one was fine going for my 3rd June 28. I would like to lose another 30 by September. I will try.... Feel free if you have any questions. AFB
