I just saw this posted in chat.

You'll make it - the band is not for the feint of heart but you have to keep it as tight as you can stand it if you don't have will power. No amount of surgery fixed that for me - no willpower. I HAVE to have mine so tight I can only eat a bit. I

Warning about taking advice from others. If you are not sure about what someone is telling you or you think it might not be good advice be sure to ask your doctor. It scares me that someone would choose to live their life with their band as tight as they can stand it. That no life at all.

That is ridiculous advice. This person is probably heading for disaster.

if someone wanted to lose weight bad enough to have wls, you'd think they'd help the band by eating smart and being smarter then to knowingly be soo tight they cant eat or drink........their decision...

not for me

Well that person will be reporting that their band is coming out because it eroded in their stomach. Just wait and see.

Having the band to tight hurts really bad. I've been there (not on purpose tho). I ended up in the emergency room one night because it was to tight, I couldn't even get hot tea down me let alone my own saliva, so someone who gets it that tight is absolutly crazy and asking for trouble.

My opinion

      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! 😞
