If You Could Change Something About Your Band..what Would You Change?



Recommended Posts

I really wish that either fills were and exact science where based on your stomach(internally) they could know the exact amount to put in for the green zone...or....that i could somehow externally tighten/loosen my band when i wanted to!

What would you change about your band?

I'm with Cindy, I would have done this years ago!!

I wish it was more uniform instead of fickle! Some days I can eat okay and other days I have trouble with everything.

Agreed. I would have done this years ago if I had known it would work like this. ;)

I wish I could change my band to shorten the "bandster he**" period.

Funny you mention this, there is a device that is rarely new that the surgeon can use at the time of surgery (goes down the throat) to fill the band and the device apparently measures multiple things and can find the perfect fill level (or so they say).

I wish I could find the thread on this, it was probably two or three months ago!

The only thing I would change is the consistency of restriction. Some days I hardly want to eat anything, other days I could eat a horse!

      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! 😞
