So long story short. After living methotical and dilligent I lost my band due to a slip. Could not be revised that day due to the time the slip occured and the damage that happened. So 8 may I was revised to sleeve and happier than ever. I will never reccommend the band again Keri

Sept of 2011 I was admitted and had emergency surgery for my lap band to be removed. I was assured I did nothing wrong, and this just happens. I have been very careful with my diet, and have been unsuccessful in keeping the weight off. We moved the following month and I just met my new surgeon. I am no longer able to have the band, and we decided to get the vertical sleeve. I have been dealing with the issues and hopefully it will be ok. I just wanted to give an update. Keri

Saw my Dr a week and 1/2 ago. I have lost 42% of my body mass. WOW He said that most do that in 2 years, and I did that in less than 1 year! He is very happy with my progress! I am so proud

new weight! 189! so happy!

weight currently........ 194

let us know what it can be!

I am offically in the 100's I weighed this am and I am 196.5! I am so happy!!!

199 current weight!! Keri

that is totally uncalled for..........and that is total malpractice in my opinion. Keri

211.5! I am so close to onederland! Keri

Wow, I had mine the same day. I think I remember you. I am Keri, and had mine at 1pm that day. I am praying for you. I have lost about 49lbs, and have "knock on wood" no complications. Keri

That sounds like me too. However the last time I got sick was friday. I didn't start noticing the pain till (sunday). I am thinking with all the working out, and how much I clean yesterday, plus it only is a dull ache when I do contract my muscles (like a crunch). I wonder because I am losing weight that the band doens't have much fat tissue around it and till it makes a new home, I just will notice it some. HELP Keri

I am doing good. I have my days where I PB but I am ok otherwise. I do have some discomfort in my upper left abdomen. I wonder if with me losing weight, and fat, things are moving around. I am in a 14/16 right now. I am down I think a reasonable amount of weight. I have an appt next month with my doctor for a follow up. I hope he might take a little out because I am a still concerned with having 9cc's already in my band. Hope you all are well. Keri

Hey all. In a 14/16!! Haven't been since High school. Last night I went through my closet and got rid of all my fat clothes, and replaced them with my hand me down thinner clothes. Thank goodness for friends with the lapband. I am getting to the gym as often as I can. I have been chasing after 4 kids, so that has to count for the days i don't go. My hubby is awesome, and helps me out alot. I am 15lbs away from being in the onederland! I can't believe it! I am so glad to hear all of you are well! Keri

ME......! Winner here!

currently 214 size 14/16

also pampered chef has these prep bowls......... that work really well for me. I got 6 of them! Keri

Thanks everyone.... you all have renewed my faith in this system. I know that it takes time!! this is why I love coming to this forum........I can't ask my non WLS friends, they just don't know. I am going to start tracking my food again, and make sure I am drinking enough h2O God Bless all! Keri PS keep the tips coming

If I don't have a cup.......... I don't poo.....:lunch: SO I need it, not to keep me awake, but to help move things.

Thank you both so much! I am going to change up my approach. Just might even do that pouch test sooner! Tonight is Wii Fit night! thanks again! keri

Today is a day I wish I had had, RNY!!! I haven't seen the scale budge in 1 1/2 week, almost 2. I am drinking my protien........ISOPURE Granted I don't get to work out much, but I am on my feet most of the day 4 days a week. I texted DH and I am busting out the Wii fit tonight. I only ate meet yesterday off a gyro with some lettuce and tomato. I had I think 6 mini meatballs and cheese and tomato sause. Took Tika out for a small jog ( its been raining and she won't potty with out a walk on those days) And that is all I ate yesterday. Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong. I have to have a cup of coffee in the AM. I can't eat in the am cause I am so tight. So I have a EAS shake, and wait till lunch to eat anything, sometimes I am still tight I can't eat and it comes back up. Please any insite would help. I am right now about 223. I am not changing my ticker. I have been as low as 221. I don't need a fill. I just want to cry~ Thanks Keri

Yah I am still learning...... I am happy that I am being careful with it. I don't want to do anything to make me hurt the band, or myself. Keri

OK, SO here is my day since my 2nd fill. Really tight in the am..... Cause yesterday I threw up. after maybe 3 bites of my breakfast. today.........maybe 1.5 ozs of turkey breast. and I am full and very uncomfortable liquids only so it seems. So Protien shake in the morning........ I can handle that. Lunch I have a Lunchable......minus the cheese. I can't do the cheese. Dinner I can eat ok. Had about 2 ozs of pork chops, and a small spoonful of mashed potatoes, and a few green beans Does this sound like good restriction??? Thanks

i honestly don't know I put my health and care in his hands, and when he said 3ccs I was a bit shocked. Do I call tuesday and talk to him about how much? I am very concerned Keri
