Was banded last May. I only lost 17 pounds. I never got the hang of the eating! I was ALWAYS hungry. I had all of the fluid removed from my band in February. Planning on having another child I had my BC implant (implanon) removed last week. Within three days I was questioning how I ever ate so much food! For the past three years I have just been eating everything in sight! Now I know I will be able to loose weight! I did it before lost 91 pounds in a year. Eating healthy and working out and since the implant was put in I couldn't do it! Sad about spending 10k on my surgery but excited about post pregnancy weight loss! Maybe I won't gain 60 pounds with the next baby!

So, the implant caused you to be hungry and fail so far? Are you going to keep the band deflated?

cmjanssen not sure what you mean...so you aren't going to get refilled once you have another baby? maybe that BC implant was working against the band...just thinking? not sure because I have no idea what that is (had to look it up)...LOL...I'm older!!! but whatever you chose best wishes to you!!!
