Hey , I had the band over two months ago and have lost forty pounds so far, Im have been having some problems keeping under the 4 oz requirement. I dont eat nearly as much as I used too but I dont have any restriction at this point. I have only had one fill and it just seems like I can easlily eat more than 4oz at a time but I keep it pretty close to the limit. I am terrified that I am streching out my pouch. I know that I am failing my band right now but I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

Hey new guy checking in ...................got banded aug 6th twenty pounds down so far.............good luck to everyone!

Its great to see a ems/ fire thread. I am a emt intermediate in Vegas , and I am going to paramedic school. just got the referral from my insurance company so I am well on my way I think. Just wondering if any medics out there had any problems with eating post band wile at work, we do system status posting so we are almost always moving , and as a result eating on the run.

Is there anyone out there that has Joined the military after the lap band , I have heard that it is disqualifying to have anykind of bariatric surgery. Just curious is anyone has had sucess joining after the band was removed?
