I was banded Jan 19, 2011... a couple of times my band was too tight so had to have a half cc taken out...I just had a fill a week ago and it isn't going too well, I keep regurgitating and some times after I fall to sleep I wake up choking and it's hard to breath, but I get through it, then I'm fine, but I lose sleep over it.

I haven't lost that much in a year which bothers me but Dr. Valentine' assistant Annie said it's better to lose slow...all toll I have lost 44 pounds, but I don't feel any changes in my clothes either...is this normal...how long did it take any of you to lose a considerable amount of weight and how did you do your first year out?

I am eight months out from my lap band,have lost 44 pounds so far. I too have had to have deflates and also I have the choking regurg episodes during the night, I find that if I sleep with my head elevated and eat nothing after 8pm that I don't have that problem. This is a much slower journey than I first thought but well worth the time. It is after all a life style chane.

Finally I am able to get back on...I tired replying and it wouldn't let me for some reason... thank you Karen and Pax for the replies...we had potato salad and I ate some forgetting it had eggs in it, but so far I'm ok..maybe I just can't have omelets, I don't know, but I'm not going to go back to eating them to find out because I don't like the dumping syndrome.

That's great on your 44 pound loss Pax for being just 8 mos out...are you doing any exercises at all?

Thank you for the helpful hint, I do sleep with my head elevated because I had c-spine surgery 10 years ago so I no longer sleep with my head flat, but that's a great idea about nothing to eat after 8pm...I do hope by losing slow I will keep it off longer and have a healthier body.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
