  1. 6 years post op Lap Band surgery unsucessful

    Brooklynborn posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Had LB surgery Sept 04. With each fill (total of 4,5?), I had hoped the band would restrict my intake. While I do eat smaller portions than I used to, I have never really lost any weight with the band. Now 6 years later, I am preparing for bypass and will have the LB removed. This has been a dismal failure for me and I really don't know why other than, as always, I eat too much. The one thing I can say is that i always drink water during meals. With out it my esophagas jams like crazy. Could the drinking with meals sabotaged my efforts? Anyone else find no long term benefit to the LB?
