Find another doctor who will help you with your journey. I did and what a change.

I know this has been beat-up and bashed on both sides of the debate. I for one got the band with my own money. doctors love to take cash. Not all want to teach and follow up. which did cause me to gain some back. I learned found good doctor, and l learned a lot from this site.
I do read about problems with All the different wls. I read the other day that gastric bypass that has a feeding tube put in, also a sleeve that leaked. yes you hear the band slip.
you will hear them all, first it is yours to choose. I don't mind the slow way, I have developed eating routine that helps me loose. i am Happy and isn't that why we are doing this!!!!!!

I am glad your back,and you have not given up. Well for me I just got back to the pain in the knees again. That was the reason I did it in first place. I read some post on this site , told me about dr obrien video on youtube. I found new dr who would give me a fill. Learned a lot from nutritionist , then let my band do some of the work. I joined a gym , I go 5 times a week. Started 10 minutes on bike , then 10 on elyptical.now I do 10 bike and 30 elyptical . I work some weights three times a week. The food is easy 80 Protein , little to no carbs a day.
The only other thing to help you is stay on site, get motivated by reading others stories, you can do it again, the band is a tool, you have to make it work.

Hello boys & girls of BP!
I had to check in today and let you all know that as of this morning, I am in onederland!! It's not a number that means anything to my health really, but it just feels significant. I guess because most women aren't really supposed to weight more than 200 pounds even under the best of circumstances, but especially if you're 5'1/2". It's been at least 9 years...yeah, I was 22 or 23 the last time I was undoh-2-hundo.
In honor of this (personally) momentous occasion, I am posting a couple of pics, which I've never done before. be gentle, be nice, or please don't comment...because my body is a onederland
also i feel kind of dumb because I can not get BP to display pics properly...it keeps rotating them for some reason, grrr. you get the idea.
OH! Also, the order goes : Before, After, B, A, B, A. Hopefully you could tell that!
     

You even to be following the plan. Slider food are the ones like chips, crackers, and popcorn. Things that have no nutritional value but, we crave. I get to be on vacation now for two weeks in LA while wife is working so I get to work out and sight see, and pass EVERY fast food place. How do you put three burger places next to each other???so I will jump over Jack in the box, drive out of in-n-out , and look away from Carl's burgers while here. Keep on the track we will get through this together...

OMG, I've gotten semi stuck a few times... Little chest tightness and discomfort and then it subsides. But today I really found out (the hard way) what stuck really is...I skipped Breakfast and was really hungry when lunch time came around, I dug into my broasted chicken breast and knew immediately my bite was too big and I didn't chew enough. Well I spent the next 2 hours in the bathroom sweating, chest pain, saliva building up, until finally it came up. That was 5 hours ago and I'm still weak and feel wiped out. Lesson learned, I just hope I didn't cause any damage (I'm only 10 weeks post op)

All posts must fit within BariatricPal’s guidelines for acceptable posts. Posts must be consistent with BariatricPal’s core beliefs.
Weight loss surgery can be an effective tool to fight obesity. Our common goal is to fight obesity through a unified voice. No weight loss surgery is inherently better or worse than any other. Each has advantages, and each has disadvantages. Some individuals are good candidates for one kind of surgery, and other individuals are better candidates for another kind of surgery.
No individual is more or less deserving of weight loss and health because of a decision to get or not get weight loss surgery, or because of which type of weight loss surgery he or she chooses. BariatricPal serves as a place where anyone can ask questions about weight loss surgery without fear of ridicule. BariatricPal serves as a forum for open discussion and polite disagreement so that everyone can benefit. Weight loss surgery “bashing” is absolutely prohibited. This include, but is not limited to, statements that a specific type of weight loss surgery is:
Bad or wrong Easier than another type of weight loss surgery or “cheating” when someone is trying to lose weight Out of date or obsolete Doomed to failure

I must chime in on this one. I went to Disney last sat., dinner ate Rain Forest , had Kabob , Steak and veggies. I was going to be good, well that didn't end the way I wanted to. I have been stuck before, and have learned finger down food out. well this time I slimmed about 10 times .yes I mean threw up , I could not get it unstuck. this was first time I got nervous. It pasted after 2 hours and I was sore, For you newbies out there, Chew and Chew , also when you get this stuck , go on a liquid diet for 24 hours ,this gives you time to heal. My wife told me I can never have Steak again.

Failed - I'm so sorry that your surgery failed for you and left you so bitter. However, there are several of us who are seeing success. Several of us who are HAPPY with our surgeries. Several of us who appreciate actual, helpful conversation rather than hysteria and drama. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean that the rest of us in this forum are going to have the same experiences as you. So please ... share facts, numbers, and documentation. Please keep the hysterics to yourself or share only with others who are in your same boat. Because, in all honesty, I can't relate. Nor do I wish to. I would rather be supportive of those who are in this journey with me .. with those who accept that sometimes things don't work they way we want them to, but don't go all Drama Queen when we politely disagree.
Have a great day.

you all suck, I have been driving bye all these places telling myself, these people have lost and have done so well. they would never have fast food. they have all been good patients, they stick to the plan, they would never step foot in those kind of places. So I drive and drive till I get home to grab a cheese stick or peach to hold me over for dinner or grab a Protein shake. LOL this is a lot of fun..
