May 24, 2006; In June '09 I was 7 lbs from goal and my doc insisted I had lost 17 lbs too quickly from March to June. He insisted that I get a slight unfill for the long term health of my band and I've never been that close again.

I've done well till lately. Since Dec I've been having lot of pain and can't get answers but will keep posting on what I find out.

I have had band 4 years. Unfortunately I did not follow doctors guidelines and gave up. I don't advise this. I have been back on track since end of October and doing really well. My life has changed and continues to change all the time. I cook most of my meals and measure everything. I will not go off track again. I am in so much of a better place now and will continue forward. I have lost 95.2 so far and had no problems with my band other then too full a couple times.

      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! 😞
