  1. Hi, I haven't been on here in a long time but ran across your post and thought I would comment. I am five years post op and sitting at approximately 80lbs weight loss. Would like to lose about 30 more on time. Please don't get discouraged. Getting the band adjusted to not feel hunger is key to success. Did you have it adjusted after the initial 25 pounds? As your body changes, so will the band. Changing lifestyle and behaviors is the other key element. The band should be used as a tool, not a miracle. Cheating or eating foods that "slide" will do no good. My eating habits have changed drastically. Some better some worse. I do a lot of premier protein drinks, and snack on portioned food all day. If a cup of food is not filling you then your band is not right enough. I would suggest with such a long drive to the doctors that you stay overnight to make sure there are not any issues. (To tight) I am here if you have any further questions. Wishing you luck. Before giving up on the band, make sure that you are doing everything you possibly can. It will work if you work it. My husband reminds me of that often. He has been a huge support and reason for my success. He calls me on my poor eating choices. It is good that you have support in your lapband friends.
