Hi I had my sleeve in june 2014 ive only lost 16 lbs... im probably one of the ones they shouldnt have cleared.. im going through some family issues and I gained 9 lbs in 6 weeks Im seeing my dietitian and psy on monday.. I am actually feeling like all hope is lost with this and there is no way I can fix it.. I feel so despondent. I know I am depressed. My brother said the winter weather isnt helping either. Please any words of wisdom, tia

Hi I had my sleeve in june 2014, ive lost a total of 16 lbs. I have a host of mental health issues'.. im probably one of the ones they shouldnt have cleared. I dont know what to do... I feel like this is a lost cause.. im seeing my md on mon and in 6 weeks ive gained 9 lbs lots of family stress. I dont feel motivated, im not consistent... just thought someone might have some words of wisdom out there. Tia

Thank you carolinagirl. You're saying stuff I should be telling myself. Thank you. Slow and steady wins the race.I can't expect to tell myself these things if IM not used to doing it, right? Isn't there a saying a journey starts with a single step? Well IM stepping

I threw out the junk I had, IM going to exercise today, I am going to my lapband doctor and if I gained, I will face the music and hopefully I will get a fill. I see my therapist today and will talk to her about how I am using food to deal. Onward and upward!

Thank you bandista..I will try the breathing. IM always worrying I sound like a downer here. It's when I feel down I need the most help. Thank you for affirming me. It means alot!

Thank you hazelsbliss that was really helpful. This is one issue I hate posting about!

Hey all, Been doing some emotional eating(I am seeing a therapist) I see my lapband Dr tomorrow. I had a gain the last time,I saw him. I think IM looking at,a gain this time too. I was at 5 cc and throwing up everything. He removed me to 3cc and put me to 4 last visit. I still feel like I have no restriction. I just don't know what to do about the emotional eating. If anyone has any ideas id be appreciative. It seemed like I was,better,about this issue in,the past but it has become a great monster lately. Please help, I really want the help. Thanks

Thanks everyone for the responses! It feels so good!

I wanted to post on here because things are going really well. I would only post when I was in a bad space. I am exercising every day, watching what I am eating, going to OA, just wanted to put some positive vibes out there. I really feel like I've got this!

So glad you are getting this figured out. I had my gallbladder out in April. They said because of the rapid weight loss it was exacerbated by. I Hope you're feeling better and on the mend

Thank you both for responding... Had gallbladder out in April.... Concerned lapband Dr wasn't concerned...thinking about switching drs

I know I haven't been the best bandster, but I've been having really bad digestive issues and IM scared. I don't want there to be a problem with my band. I was taking an omeprazole in the morning, my gastro Dr said to take one at night as we'll. IM scheduled for a endoscopy/colonoscopy on the 22nd. My surgeon didn't even want to test for anything it was my gastric Dr who wanted to check the band. Does anyone know what are the chances there could be something wrong? IM having really bad reflux. What are the signs of erosion or slipped band? IM so scared but the test got pushed for two weeks.. Can anyone help? Thanks
