I am having my band removed due to erosion but I am at my goal weight. My doctor is saying insurance probably won't pay for a new band. I was wondering if anyone has been able to get a new band through insurance without gaining all the weight back... I am scared to gain :thumbup:

I just came across your post..I know you posted it awhile back. I was wondering if you had your band removed or replaced. I had my lap band surgery in Feb. 07 and had gone from 300lbs to 145lbs. in Sept. of 08. I started having problems and started throwing up blood.In Apr. 09 I had the band removed and replaced with the realize band (because thats all my doc would put in) I was 155 at the time of surgery and now its Sept. 10 and I am 195 lbs. I have had no weightloss with this realize band at all. I workout like crazy..I run and lift weights and I'm in great shape but I am so depressed about this realize band. I was just wondering what you eventually had done and how its going for you. I have a 9 cc band and I have 7 ccs in now. I am going to the dr. this month for another fill..I just hope I can get some restriction but I fear there is something wrong with it...I will be devasted. I would love to hear from ya...

My band eroded and was removed in the beginning of June . I was 145 at the time of removal and my doctor said I am not a candidate for another band. I joined weight watchers to help keep the weight off. So far I've done well and everyday is a struggle but I try to remind myself that people have lost weight and kept it off without ever having the band and I've been lucky enough to have a "reset".

I was devestated when I got my band removed but I have taken control. You have done and are doing great. Try not to fixate on the scale but rather the way you feel. Also remember that you don't need the band. I think we give the band so much power and lose sight of all that we can do. Focus on how you have changed you lifestyle and how healthy you have become.

I think you band is fine but in the event anything is wrong with the band, have faith in yourself and everything will be great!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
