Hey if you google slimband it will take you to a site saying slim and is no longer taking patients and there is a contact email the person will contact you back and make a appt where you want a fill but it will cost you 300$ if you can’t find it let me know I can probally check my email and forward it to you

I really miss our forum board and I feel like there is no support out there for us.

I was banded in 2015 and went online to search Slimband because I didn't have their phone number and a site came up saying they have closed their doors. I did some research and
found out that the owner of slimband also had a previous clinic that closed and was then changed to slimband. Wondering if he is going to do the same thing and re-open under
another name? I have emailed someone that is posted as a support email have gotten a response but I am now worried as far as medical help if there are complications
down the road are we left with nothing? I am pretty sure my port has flipped but was told not to worry .........if anyone has had any communication please share. I did ask about fills and am waiting a response but I am not hopefull we
will be getting fills anymore now that the clinic has closed. I believe the support person who is emailing me is just someone that has been previously banded but not a RN.
Will update when I hear back .

The vyvanse seems to be going well for me along with the Wellbutrin so far its helping , I had to approach my Dr with
something I had printed off the vyvanse site because about it being approved for BED other wise she would have never
given me the med as you do have to use caution . I was running like crazy and it helped with getting weight off but only increased my appetite even more. I have been doing a lot of research into Keto way of eating and its working for me
and when you get into it a lot of your carb cravings go away because you are getting your energy from fat not carbs. I
don't go crazy with the exercise I have been moderate (eg walking) and the weight has been coming off.

Lost some the first month after surgery, (who doesn't with liquids and mushies) then started to gain it all back...at 3 months I had my third adjustment (fill) and then things started to come off...took me three good fills before the band started to do it's thing.
It was NOT slow for me after that....
But until then all I could do was old fashion dieting with calorie counting and portion measuring....and I stink at that, reason why I had surgery in the first place.
