Another surgery

So I had the lap band two years ago and it doesn't seem to be working that well. My doctor brought up to me today to get the gastric sleeve. What to do. What to do. I wish it wasn't so hard to fight food addiction.

      "can't keep most regular food down" sounds like you're too tight and I've heard many say that will stop weight loss and even cause weight gain. Just a thought. I hope others will chime in on this.

      I know everyone is different, but I eat 600 calories a day and burn about 500-700. I have lost 145 pounds in a year. I could not fit 1000-1200 calories in me unless it was Protein drinks or soft foods

      It sounds like you've got a case of Soft Calorie Syndrome. A small unfill could help you eat the solid food that provides the early and prolonged satiety that the band is supposed to give you. Part

    If you are only drinking, I would not wait a month. You have to be able to eat normal foodto lose. If not, what will you eat the rest of your life? I tried to go off the liquid as soon as I could. Hope you find that place.
