So I've recently posted my issues and I just found out today that I have a slippage and need my band out. They said in the future I could have it put back in, but right now, I don't think I want that. The past year and a half with my band has been hell on my physically. So, I'm excited to have it out and to be able to take a bite of food without severe pain and vomiting but I'm also scared. I know that sounds dysfunctional. I'm so used to vomiting food that I'm scared that I'm going to pack on the weight. I keep telling myself I will eat healthy and still workout with my personal trainer, but my body is so used to eating zilch that isn't it certain that I will put on weight once I start to eat normal? I'd hate to see my progress disappear. Was anybody else fearful for this reason?! Thanks

I am going through something very similar and have put on close to 20 pounds. All of my clothes are skin tight and I regret getting rid of all my bigger size clothes. In addition I am suddenly lactose intolerant despite using the enzymes. I wish you the very best of luck, I understand and feel your pain and joy.
