Thanks everyone - my gut was telling me the same thing so your input really helped. Unfortunately my surgeon is not around anymore and quite frankly he was useless with the post surgical care. There aren't a lot of lapband physician options in bc and my understanding is that most are not taking on post- surgical patients, because let's face it - the money is in the surgery not in the post surgical care. My band is as tight as it can go without completely blocking things. Problem is that I can't get the 'healthy' food down - it gets stuck. So I tend to veer towards higher fat options because they are easier for me to eat ie can't even swallow bite of apple but I have no probs with a slice of Apple pie. chicken breast no, chicken thigh no problem. Would love to hear how others are handling since it's unlikely I will get in to see a doc or nutritionist any time soon.

I had my surgery in 2006, lost 110 lbs in the first year, and have gained back 75. I am considering trying pgx to help get back on track but am worried about mixing pgx and the band. Anybody have any advice or experience they want to share?
