Hi, im in the same boat, only heap of pain and spewing all the time. My Dr is a prick, I havent lost any weight in a year.

I had a simular situation to you mid year and my band had sliped so i had more surgery, prior to the the port tore off my bowl so that has been restiched. what a nightmare.

hi just a warning, ive had my band done a year and lost nothing. I cant eat any meat or vegetables i have no Fluid in my band. my only option is soft food and unfortunately i get so sick of vomiting that i eat ice cream and chocolate which is the only thing keeping my energy levels up. Make sure if things go wrong your dr will take the band back out. Mine wont.

Hi Texastarmadillo,

I went in and had the fill done while they watch on the xray and the doctor told me everything is fine and my stomach has not stretched that was Oct. 1st as of today I have not lost a pound,:thumbup: I did the 2 week liquids, I am still on soft foods (scabbled eggs, apple sauce, Jello, banana, popcicles), 1 meal a day and I am good, I am not hungry. My doctor told me if this does not work all he can do is take all the saline out. Which scares me to death :scared2:at least I am not gaining. I have know Idea whats going on...

hi loriane i am in the same boat. i year down the track and no loss, go figure. Same as you though havnt put any on

well i would be pleased with 60%, I ve been banded for over a year and havent lost a pound, just vomiting and hospital trips for me. what a waste of money

Hi, I'm in the same boat, Im a year post band and no result only pain and vomitting, I can't eat meat, veg or fruit, the only thing i eat is crackers, chocolate and custard as that is all that goes down, I'm dehydrated all the time and life in general sucks. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Well it sounds like your all doing well, I got done last september and have only lost 5 kg. (2.2pound to a kilo) 10.8 pound.

hi how much have you lost? i have just had band inserted one week ago.

well i was in hospital one night, keep up your pain relief the worst is getting up out of bed and being sore but a week down the track im ok. have been taking loperimide for loose bowls. and am getting sick of Fluid diet. but on the up side i have lost 15 kg in one week, although the dr said i would loose a lot initially then curve back up before the band was filled. Good luck i think its the best decission i have ever made. Helen

how do you get onto the tickerfactory?

your joking i dont start for two weeks and not allowed meat till after band is done. i wonder why the difference? i wonder if it is difference in opperation

am same on Optifast as well, am finding weight watchers vanilla custard with bit of prune juice is helping breaking the monotany (sory spelling not good)

It's going well. I started walking the day after surgery. 20 minutes three times a day. Except for the day my sister in law said a walkinging trail was about 1 mile. It was actually a little over 2. I've decided to make Monday's my day off. Looking into buying a bike since it's so dark in the mornings before work.

well sounds like your off to a good start. I'm managing 30 min a day total but am exausted. I supose its the Fluid intake and no carbs. cant wait till the puree stage another week to go.

Hi Sara, I am also new to website and lap band. i had mine done four days ago. I sopose i am one of the lucky ones in that i am burping and passing wind like a trouper :redface:. so no sholder pain. Am certainly getting sick of the Optifast liquid diet but i sopose its only two weeks:tongue_smilie:. Hows your exercise going? I went for my first walk today and am still quite tender in the stomach region. How about you?
