Why did I gain weight



Recommended Posts

Hello to you all,

I was banded on 8/26/10, and have currently lost 72 pounds, however, since today is my weigh in, I went to weigh myself and gained 1 1/2 pounds. I am very disappointed and cannot understand where I went wrong. Do any of you that have been on this journey longer than me, have been through this. Thank you.

I also started gaining weight. I had my band in Dec of 2009 and i lost 75 lbs after having several fills. now I have moved from NY and can't afford the $250 they want for a fill here in Washington. I can eat anything except steak or bread..anything that swells in my esophugus. but I can eat an entire bag of popcorn or a alarge meal. You probably need a fill, like me. I know I am not eating right and wish i could get a fill too!!! Good Luck

i wouldnt worry about 1 1/2 lbs.your weight will fluctuate due to Water retention,now if you gained 5 lbs then i would worry.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
