Not me. I've been banded since dec 2013 and haven't lost any weight the aftercare person I saw for the first 3 fills missed my port every time so I didn't get a fill at all.. 3 months wasted then they filled it too much and I was throwing up everything.. So that's 5 months wasted and now I have pancreatits from gall stones (was perfectly healthy before the band) and I can't continue my care until I get over that.. So good luck I'm already 9 months in and slim results

Who was your surgeon and we're you primed at surgery? I also was banded by Dr. Benavides in Nov. 2013. I have lost 68lbs so far and I always see physician assistant Shunte and she is awesome!!! I'm a slow loser but all is well. You know you can request what physician assistant you want to see...give her a shot like I said she is awesome!!! Don't give up yet the key is a lot of patience!!! ????

      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! 😞
