Having problems losing weight



Recommended Posts

HI, I was banded in June of 08. I did really great and lost 100 lbs. In Nov of 11 I had a fill but a few days later I was hit with a bug and had to go to the hospital due to being dehydrated. I was seen by 2 interns who insisted I had to have my fill taken out. I kept saying it didn't have to be done, if they felt they had to take some out, just take what the fill amount I just had. but they didn't listen and emptied my band. Since then I have gained 30 lbs I'm stuck at the weight I am now, haven't lost or gained anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Help what can I do to get back to my goal weight... Kim

Get filled back up. Is that possible? That is probably what is going to get you back on track. Good luck.

Hi Kim, did you not follow up with your aftercare team after they unfilled you?

I'd say its time to get back in contact with your team and discuss what needs to be done to help get you back to where you need to be with your band.

I have had fills, I go every 6 weeks. I am at the point I can't have anymore fills, I can't keep anything down if I'm filled more then 7. I never expected to not loose anything once I was at max.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
