  3. Thinking about Band to Sleeve Revision. I'd love your advice.

    rklapband posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums
    Hi - I have had the lap band for 2 years and I hate it. Stuck foods, throwing up. Too tight. Too loose. I have lost only 30 lbs. I have adapted bad eating habits (compensating for lack of food with liquids because of fear of eating and getting stuck). I had my band adjusted by a new doctor yesterday who strongly suggested I would do well with the Sleeve. I'd love anyone's thoughts on this subject. Thank you.

  4. Help - starting over

    Hi - I'm 2 years post op and have only lost 30 pounds. I am addicted to sugar. I know that sugar drinks are what is keeping me from losing the weight I want to. I've just gotten so discouraged and am looking for help in starting a new regime. I wonder what yours is. My band is definitely tight enough - if I'm not careful, I will throw up (as has happened recently several times), but I'm not hungry in the mornings and my fill seems pretty good. How to kick the sugar? What are sensible things to eat with the band? I need something I can follow easily. Thank you.
