I just had my band remove 1 month ago, I have gained 5lbs, but my personal trainer said it is probably because my body is trying to get used to the adjustments......I currently have been working out with a personal trainer for the past 8 months and I would recommend that method to help you in your journey.

hi guys i am new to this and i am trying to get all my info before i have mine done. what causes the band to erode and slip? xxxxx

I hsve had a complete unfill and am losing my band. I have been using an all natural product that really keeps me from eating. I don't want to gain the weight back and this product takes away the cravings for me...and it is all natural, so no jittery feeling. I don't want to go on another diet. I like eating a little bit of what I want. Honestly, had I known about this product I would have saved myself the pain and heartache of surgery. I didn't cause my problem. There are several of us from 11/08 having the same problems. If you want to know more about this product, pm me at carolyn.wilson@insightbb.com. Good luck....
