Well thats unfortunate. My bf is the same way but hes never relapsed. Hes like the poster boy for aa and church lol. Hes a much better person and bf than he was 3 yrs ago tho and good luck to ur mom and her siblings one day at a time! rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

If the ins covers the surgery they will cover the fills. But like i said ive had the band. Its not worth it. It was a much quicker n easier recovery. (back to work in less than a week) BUT u dont loose as much weight and its much easier to gain it back. My doc doesnt even do them anymore cuz so many ppl have had it revised to gastric. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

U deff took my post the wrong way. And trust me ur granny would meet her match but i was only comforting the ppl who r rethinking surgery cuz they think they will need a revision. Not everyone needs a revision and it shouldnt be assumed that we will all need it. I for one did this surgery planning to loose the weight n keep it off. I have no intention of lettin the weight come back. Btw u should be careful talkin about ppl relapsing. My bf has been sober for 3 yrs. Its a sensitive subject you might offend someone. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

I had soup yesterday lol rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

Yea dont waste ur time with the lap band. Its not any scarier than gastric. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

Yeah you need to exercise to keep it off lol. And Soups can fill u up really quick. U just have to sip them really slowly. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

I had the same pains too but it turned out i had a pouch of Fluid near my ribs that developed right after surgery. When in doubt, always ask for a catscan. I ended up with a chest tube and pneumonia for a month rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 199/ gw 137

So dont listen to people who tell you that after 2 yrs u will start gaining weight. Thats not true! You get what you put in!!! i know plenty of people who have lost all their weight and kept it off for years! you will develop a healthier way of eating so if you continue that way then you wont gain back your weight. And idk why ur doc told you no soup. I have soup all the time! rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 201/ gw 137

its been 3 1/2 months since surgery and i have lost 56lbs and im now 199! finally into the 100s. I hope to never see the 200s again! it feels amazing! with the lapband it took me a year to loose that much. feels so good to reach my first goal in such a short time! this is the best thing i ever did rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 201/ gw 137

yea i stopped loosing at week 6. i just startedloosing again. its been almost 3 months rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 205/ gw 137

dont feel that way!! there are people with bmis higher than urs trust me. ur beautiful no matter wat rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 207/ gw 137

not everyones bmi was low. i was 255 with a bmi of 48.2 im now 205 and my bmi is 38. it depends on ur height too. not just ur weight rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 207/ gw 137

i would get short of breath from doing the slightest things. pain under my left breast as well. and pain under my ribs. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 207/ gw 137

i had the same pain. turned out i had pneumonia and one of my lungs was full of Fluid. i suggest gettin a catscan. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 207/ gw 137

i didnt start working again til i was 6 weeks post op. the first month was hell. i spent 75% of it in the hospital with pneumonia. it can deff happen after major surgery. rny 4/6/12 <br />hw 255/cw 210/ gw 137
