Happy lapbanders only!



Recommended Posts

Please... I just want one thread that has good things to say about lapbands...

There are many horror stories on other posts. Just not here please.

I’m happy 11 years later.... lost about 90 lbs. kept off 70...

I need my tool. Emptied, I put on 25 and didn’t change too many habits.

I’m back with fills and life goes merrily along!!

I love my band I have been able to keep my weight off by being diligent and exercise. I bike a lot and during the winter do a lot of spin. No complications at all, keep it pretty tight but that is what I need to do to stay in control. A couple of times my weight started to creep up but I put the brakes on and go back to plan. Retiring in May bought a new road bike for my retirement and do a lot of gardening. Life is GREAT!

Well. Not too many happy banders here.

(After 11 years I was Unfilled and have recently had 2 small fills). It is still working!! Which means I am trying..

And why does food taste better at 10 at night?

This underfill works for me most often.

Best to all that try.

I am still a Happy Lap-bander. I rarely talk about online anymore. I was unfilled in March and it has been a slow process of small fills to get restriction back. I am thinking the next fill will get me back where I want to be. I will have some time this weekend and want to check out the forums to refresh my mind on the basics as I have put back on a few pounds while unfilled. Where do the lapbanders post most?

Some post here. But it is a bit sluggish at times.
Sadly, many not -happy banders around as well for many reasons.
Not sure of other sites I believe Facebook has some groups.
. It is a very special dance I must follow to not irritate my band. I drink Protein Shakes and exercise....and
Try!! I fail also!
Hoping You will remember the high Protein from the last round.
Best of luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
