Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

I had a lapband in place for 10 years had it removed 3/2017... I had vsg on 8/3/2017. I should have had vsg initially.. it is what it is. I stared at about 233 after lapband removal I’m currently weighing 174. The lowest I’ve been is 168. I was currently laid off from work and for obvious reasons I haven’t been as active or mobile as I was.. All in all, vsg was the best decision I ever made. I became pregnant with our third child with the Lapband. After giving birth it was intolerable to live with I couldn’t get to my green zone fill at all. Actually, I wasn’t even filled I couldn’t tolerate any fills. Surgeon recommended two stage surgery. He wanted stomach to heal after removal of band. Good luck to all my revisionistas and vsg’ers! May the force all be with you... Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

I find myself eating fast but I do not notice until I am finished... I only noticed this today I’ve had the worst heartburn with nauseous feeling and a sharp pain in lower left side of stomach.. and lunch was at noon. Has anyone else had this gross feeling? I’ve also noticed that I do not wait the complete 30 minutes to drink after eating... bad habits seem to linger. Since I’ve noticed these issues today I need to stop these habits!! I hope it’s not too late [emoji20] Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

You're exactly on point! I do not want to graze all day (bad habits seem to linger) I will have to try crushed ice in my premier drink.. thank you for the pointers [emoji4]The scale doesn't go down it stays at the stalled number during that time.. so frustrating along with the other bothersome things during that time.

Do any of you feel that "hunger pang" during or before your period? Like a craving or the need to eat? I want everything then when I have something I don't want it but I'm hungry like for bacon or something sweet or something healthy or anything. It's pretty ridiculous I know the hormones being out of control but this is just driving me crazy! What do you do/eat to eliminate that crazy drive? I feel like my 2 premier protein shakes a day in addition to a dinner/lunch/ or breakfast are not satisfying me during my time of the month..

So awesome! This is a complete different feeling from the ball and chain/lapband. Hoping that your recovery is smooth sailing! Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Oh and honestly vsg feels more natural! I remember washing dishes and my wedding band slipping around on my finger that's how I imagined the lapband inside of me slipping around.... :-/ and sure enough it was doing that too.. I went to bed every night hoping relief would come soon to remove that appliance from my insides and so glad I did! Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Hey! I had a staged surgery Vsg on 8/2 after healing with lapband removal it's 9/12/2017 I've dropped 48 pounds so far period and all! Good luck to you keep us posted!
