Not as long as you keep following the process!

With the exception of one or two, the only people I see complaining (or freaking out) are those who have recently been banded. Most are still in the healing post-op phase.

Did not gain all your weight in 30 days, can't expect miracles right away.

All weight loss at that time is from the pre-op and post-op diet regime. Sooner or later you will be on regular food. Then you have to learn to live and use the band.

It took me 3-4 months before things started to fall in place. Six months till everything started to work the way I had hoped it would.

And I am still learning things all the time.

If you stick to the rues, you should have NO problem at all.

It's true! If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and do what you're supposed to do, and listen to your body, you'll not gain back a pound!

This was pretty much my deal too. I didn't start really learning how to work the band until about four months into it.

When I was first banded I weighed 356...

The other day I went to my Dr. , and was weighed. I weigh 246 now, and still losing....

So yes,,,, It does really work, as long as you do your job with the tool Your Band.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
