Have you been filled at all yet. I couldn't get in for a fill until early Dec. I figure I will be well healed by them. So for now I am hungry and have lots of capacity for food. I am worried, but trying to exercise to compensate.

I was rebanded on oct. 7th and have not had any fills. Right now I am eating normally and gaining weight. I have recently execizing. So I am a bit nervous about what will happen, but I did lose 60 pounds the first time around so i'm hoping I'll have the same success this time around.

I'm 60 and had it done and redone. I would do it again tomorrow. I have spent most of my adult life fat so it is nice to finally have some success with losing. Right now I am on hold as I have not had a fill yet since my rebanding Oct. 7 2009. I was back to work on Tuesday. Good luck with your decision.

I have a friend that would say, You just had the "Oh S_ _ _ fill". Much weight loss will follow. I just had a new band put in the other slipped and made me miserable. I am feeling pretty normal and not having a fill until early Dec. So needless to say weight loss is not happening quite the opposite. It is a downer, but once I have the o s fill I will look forward to losing the rest of my weight.

Activa yogurt works like a charm for constipation.

I was banded August 13th lost 93 poounds then it slipped. I was rebanded Oct. 7th and I kept off 64 pounds and now I am looking for to losing 40/60 pounds more.

Cod or Haddock are my favorite and very mild. I love shell fish, but I have to really concentrate on chewing. trish

Hello, I have just be rebanded after 2 years. i lost 64 pounds and started becoming quite sick. I had the surgery Oct. 7 2009 and I am impressed with how quickly I am recovering. All my stitches around the band were severed. I hope I can now lose the other 60 I need to lose. Has anyone here done any plastic surgery when they lost all they wanted to.

My band slipped too and I am going in for a replacement band on Oct. 7th. My insurance is paying, because it needs to be fixed. I have 50 pounds more to lose and I can't wait for it to be replaced. I just hope it works well, because it worked well the first time for a year. Now hopefully it will work again. Good luck with your decisions. trish

Hi I too lost 60 pounds and then I had days I could not eat and vomited anything I put in my mouth. I am having the band replaced Nov. 11th. I am unaware of the name of the band. I too am looking forward to losing the other 60 pounds. My only worry is if this happened once will it happen again.

I had my band done Aug. 2007 and I have lost 80 pounds. I am stuck right now. I am also PBIng way too much. The crazy part is as I go through the 6 to 8 weeks before my next visit. I find I cannot eat as much once a month goes by. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow and get in a quick visit and have some fill removed. I tend to eat too fast which doesn't give enough time to chew my food well. Once I start PBing it can go on for many hours. My doctor always says I am just too tight. It can be painful too. Thanks for the motivation to call my doctor and have some fill taken out.

I have not had any luck with eating bread or pasta. In the 1 1/2 years since surgery, I have had very little of either. I can count on one hand how many times I've eaten them. I will try the organic suggestion and see if I can eat that. trish

Hi I am 1 1/2 years since surgery. I'm down about 93 pounds. I have found the best Protein is

I am about 1 1/2 year post op and I can eat very little and just recently I am having a problem after I eat about an hour or 2 later and experience pain like a cramping around the stomach. I then vomit a little. I am going to give it another day and then I am going to call my doctor. I'm sorry I can't help you, but let me know what you find out and I will do the same.

Thanks for the reminder list of foods. I am having some problems with food these days. I had my lap band Aug. 07 and have lost 93 pounds. I can eat very little and I have to work better at eating the right foods and your list is very helpful. thanks again.
