I have gained almost all my weight back I wish I had just waited and done the sleeve. The band has been a complete waste of money for me.

I had my lap band done August 2015 and went from 275 to 240 and then did not lose anymore I am actually now 255 and I just don't know what to do anymore.

I have had my band for a couple years now and I have had very little success and feel I eat worse than I did before I got the band. I wish I had gotten the sleeve instead and now Idk how to getting a revision done. I always feel deprived of food with the band and only eat slider foods so I feel satisfied. Idk what to do I am disappointed in myself and the band. Any suggestions?

I'm at 6.2 and I need to stick to the proper diet I haven't lost any weight in about a month. Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I feel it is easier with the band. I make smarter choivea but i can still eat some of the things i like. If someone is battling a sincere food addiction then the band may not work for them. The band helps me witj controlling my intake and i like to exercise because i feel like it makes a difference. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I think that I'm at my green level right now but I'm not sure I have that point where at the beginning of eating my band feels too tight like nothing wants to go through and then after I eat a few bites things start to go through but I still know when I hit my hunger point which is a lot less than what I used to eat does this sound familiar to anyone Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Thanks yes i feel like the inflammation has gone down.

Thanks thats how I was thinking. Appreciate the feed back.

Hello I just recently had a stomach virus which was absolutely awful. It was coming out both ends(sorry TMI). Anyways I was dry heaving and vomiting (mostly just liquids no hunks of food). Now, I am sore in my chest area and am hoping all is okay with my band. I was unable to eat the whole day I was sick. I was able to eat a few bites of salad w/grilled chicken and then I was full and some food was coming back up. Should I stick with shakes, and soft foods for the next day or 2?

I was banded Aug. 6, 2015 I have only lost about 30lbs and I am having trouble w making wise food choices. I feel down and I am scared I'm stretching my pouch out or damagingbit. I don't know how to fix my mentality about food.

Thank you for your post o have been banded since August of 2015 and I have a feeling my band is too tight at times I feel like it takes to look mg for my food to go down and may be packing up. I have an appt Wed and plan to have some fluid removed.
