Try eating something every 2 hours or so not big meals but just a couple oz each time I've lost 17 lb and was banded on Oct 14. The small amounts of food every 2 to 3 hours really helps me and Im not hungry. My engery level is up and feeling good don't give up find something that works for u

Increase your calories by 300-400 daily. You're not eating enough. I no how it feels to want to lose weight and the first thing we think is to cut back the calories. That is true, but not by that much. I think if you add more calories to your diet, you will see a difference. Hope this helps :D

Thank you for your concern, but this has been a extremely long road. I'm looking for people who have had their doctor deem their band a failure as mine has and what solutions they found, if any.

If people's bands were called a failure, they're probably not hanging around here any longer. Try a different website that has forums for various types of surgery, not just the band.

I'm not sure how your band is a failure if you're eating so little exercising so much, and not losing any weight. Doesn't sound like the band is the problem, since the whole point of the band is to "help" you eat less in a given day. You're certainly not eating much!

      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.

      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!
