My band had to come out in emergency surgery. I have since had rny and I am happy

Since I first got the band in 08 til now I am down 65 lbs highest was 245 and current is 180

I gained about 20 over the 6 months it was eroding then another 25 after the removal. I've lost 30 since rny 2 month's ago

Call your doc and let us know

Well it's been a long time. Short story, band failed me and almost killed me but I survived and had RNY this year. Sooooo much better!

I do have this issue and have noticed its only after eating cetain foods that seem to bind back together while in the pouch. Nuts are a a big culprit. If I drink some juice it seems to pass.

All I can say is it WILL get better!! There are days it becomes evening and I realize I have forgotten to eat! Other days I can eat allot. It all seams to balance out.

I live on the other side near Cocoa Beach. My parents live in Hernando county.

Hello, My name is Mary and I am 44 years young and a wife of 27 years this month. I was banded in 11/2008 and I am 14 lbs from my goal and extremely happy.

Just wondering if there are any Central Florida Bandsters out there?

Wow how long it has been!!! How is everyone??

Ive lost a gold brick!!

I am a little over a year out and I have 8.5 in a 10 band. I have restriction but still at different times can eat more than a cup and other times I am as tight as anything. There are just so many variables. I exercise regularly and consume about 900 to 1000 calories a day but I too am at a plateu ughhhhh

Hello Ladies, It has been six months since I have been on here, just got busy! Hope everyone is well

I have been at a stadstill weighing in at 188. Not sure why it has stopped I walk 3.3 miles 4 days a week in 40 minutes and I bike 20 miles between Saturday and Sundays. Down 55 lbs and feel great!!!

Welcome!!! I live in Melbourne

Your not a nut job:) My intent is to loose 90lbs however 80 would absolutely thrill me!!! I have lost only 47 so far and if I didnt loose another I wouldnt regret it! Anything I have lost and can keep off is a blessing!

I have seen many posts about this and they are all conflicting. I have lost an abundance of hair but I also see new growth so I am riding it out.

So sorry to hear that! I had an issue with my physicians office too and thought my surgery hopes had ended but it all worked out. Keep the faith

I havent seen it in years:tt2::confused:

I can speak from experience and all I can say is work through it and it will get better. I have been on a 4 week plateu. I have not lost a thing however I know my body is changing. Doesnt make me feel better when the scale DOESNT move:(

I am at 193 WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Thanks for updating:)

Congrats!! How much fill do you have? your loss has been great

I am a slow looser too. I am 3 lbs away from a 50lb loss and they wont come off. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I have no patience
