  1. At first, I didn’t tell anyone but my husband. Found that wasn’t enough support. I needed the support others could provide.
  2. Yes! Go to a doctor. I am a long time bander also so I understand how hard it is to commit to this forever. Sometimes you fall off the wagon. Sometimes life happens. I happened to get pregnant- got unfilled. My advice is go to your doctor and keep going to your doctor if you can afford it until you hit your sweet spot. I fell off the wagon once for a couple of years- gained all my weight back and lost it again by getting on track with the band. That was before having the baby. I’ve struggled since then.
  3. I got a fill yesterday- liquids for 24 hours. Can’t hold them down. I’ve felt this way and pushed through it once and it “fixed itself” after a few days and I lost a lot of weight. However, I’ve also had to get a couple of unfills since I had a baby 15 mo ago. Just can’t seem to find the sweet spot since the baby! Frustrating! I don’t want to hear from those against lap band altogether. I’m not financially at a place to get a reversal and other surgery. I just want opinions- would you push through for a few days? If so, how many? Is there a chance I just get extremely irritated after a fill and have to have more time to heal? I don’t feel like that’s the case. Long time bander yet I still feel like a newbie.
  4. Happy 36th Birthday mdsutton!
