Has anybody heard of this or taken the pills? I know it feels you up as a Fiber supplement but what's the effect on the band?

I don't know anything specific about these pills but I've read warnings from others about fiber supplements. You have to be careful that its not the kind that will swell up as that could be stuck in the band and be very painful and you might need medical attention.

But in my opinion, I got the Lapband so I wouldn't need to take a pill or join a program to lose weight. So be sure to do your research on the pills.< /p>

As CG mentioned above, Skinny Fiber is one of the many gimmick pills that expand in your stomach to make you feel full. It's not safe with the band because it can expand below the band and cause a slip.

I have to ask, why bother with gimmicks when you have the Lap Band? Your band is there to make you feel satisfied on much less food for much longer periods of time so why bother wasting your money on diet gimmicks?

      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! 😞
