Is the band all that you expected? Better or worse?



Recommended Posts

So far, so good!! It has made a big difference the past 2 1/2 months that I have had it! I feel better about myself both inside and out. The outer changes have been great! My face has cleared up, I am in my 'old, smaller' clothes that were shoved into the back of the closet! I get compliments from people on how good I look. The inner feelings are so great! I feel like I can do more, I am happier...my sex life ROCKS! Not that it didn't before but I am in the mood ALOT more lately...LOL! My husband is really loving that! My kids notice the difference and that makes me feel great! So is it all that I expected? Yes and more!!

I know a lot of people love their band and have done well, but I say it's a waste of money. I lost nearly all my weight on Atkins a few years ago and gained when I fell off the wagon. Anyhow, the only way I lose with the band is by getting back on Atkins. I paid $8,500 to find out that I have to TOTALLY watch EVERYTHING I eat and work out. The only thing the band helps with is that I can eat only a little. Sugar was more my problem, not quantity.

      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! 😞
