Hi,

I HAD LAP BAND SOME YEARS AGO AND HAVE NOT LOST ANY WEIGHT AT ALL.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT YOU SHOULD DO., PLEASE

CHEERS

LES

What does your doctor say? Are you following the guidelines you are supposed to be following? I would think by now your physician would be concerned.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've heard a lot of bad feedback on the lapband so I recommend you talk to some bariatric surgeons for their advice - such as removing it and revising to a gastric bypass or DS.

Go see the surgeon who did the surgery and talk to them maybe just need a fill and refresher course to get you going! Also a lot of good book on the subject look on Amazon. I have a bunch of good ones. Good luck.

I don't buy that for a minute! I've lost over 100 lbs with the lapband. Seems like most of the time people that have gone a different route want to bash lapband. I know just as many people who have had trouble with the sleeve, or bypass. It's a personal thing.

That being said, I'd contact the surgeon. You possibly need a fill or some advice as to what you can do.

I have a few good books as well. Can I ask what books you have?

I had my surgery in May 2010 and I lost weight. I felt great for the first time in a very long time. I was not working at the time so I was able to focus a lot time on me. Exercising everyday and following the program as far as a diet. I went back to work and over the past 7 years I have put all the weight back on. I went and I got my band tightened in February of this year which has helped. I have lost 19 pounds since February. My problem is I am so busy with work and family life that I just can't seem to get back on a good routine of exercising. I am doing ok with the dieting and food portions. Any suggestions on how to get back on a steady routine of exercising?

Make your meals in advance for the week . So you have them read yo take too work for lunch and when you come home you can quivkly heat it up. This way no snacking while u r preparing dinner or eating the wrong foods
