  1. Unsuccessful Band

    qweenie46 posted a blog entry in qweenie46's Blog
    I had my lap band on 7/3/09. At first everything was going well. I lost approximately 80 lbs. within the first year. After that, I found my way back to my old ways. The band didn't stop me. If food got stuck, I threw up and continued to eat. I never really felt "full". I had my band filled to try to help with my eating. Band was so tight I was getting food and liquids stuck. Again I would get sick, and continue to eat. I had my band adjusted, less fluid. Now I am not getting sick as much. I have gained all my weight back, plus some. I am totally disgusted with myself. Personally, I would not recommend any type of bariatric surgery for anyone. I feel that I have a true food addiction. Surgery is not going to help me with that. Any suggestions on what I should do next?
