yes, i regret it! Almost 5 years out and lost only half of goal! Following diet to a T, but constant puking, choking and Bowel obstruction is just not worth it! Have had the saline totally removed and still choking and puking daily......not gaining weight.....and i cant have it reoved due to insurance wont do it! Also, the flabbt skin is disgusting and no amt of exercise helps! Ruined my intimate life...liked my body better bedore....ugh!

i have absolutely no regrets what so ever about the band other than i wish i would have gotten it sooner. This is my personal opinion but I think if you dont like your band then its either A - your body has rejected it and it is out of your control which I would understand, or B- you are not using it in the correct way which is giving you negative results. If you have the band and you dont like it then you really should sit down and take a look at the reasons you dont like it. It doesnt do all the work for you, YOU have to work also and if you are not willing to do the work that is required to make it successful then that is NOT the bands fault it is simply yours. sorry to sound so stearn but it is the truth. if you have the band and you dont like it, I would suggest you get a book about it, "BANDWAGON" by jean mcmillen is an excellent book written by a long term bandster that doesnt sugar coat anything. her book has been the best motivation for me and the best informational thing I have read about living successfully with the band. good luck to you and your journey

I follow the diet to a T, as it is habit now.......its nothing i am doing wrong......and my Dr agrees.....my body just rejects the foreign object! I follow a strict 1200 calorie a day diet with no red meat, no sugars or white flours, no carbs.....and now have to live with the constant reflux, vomiting, and sliming...which by the way, can cause esophagal cancer! and i have no Fluid in my band.....not gaining, but no loss either......sorry, but it isnt for everybody.....

      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! 😞
