Hello All

I was banded June 2007. Have lost 108 lbs. Was doing great till I got a small fill .25cc 2 months ago. Since then I have no restriction. Went back to dr last month. He put in another 5cc. Still nothing. Think I may have a leak or has my band just stopped working. Have an appt Jan 20 for a floroscope, don't know what to expect. If I have to have the whole thing redone, so be it. I love this band, the only thing that has ever worked for me. But I am beginning to feel like I may be fat again, maybe I am doomed to be fat forever. Has anyone out there ever had this problem? Please reply I am scared to death.

Charlotte :blushing:

Hi Charlotte,

Congrats on your great success.

Since you are new here, you might want to check out the lapband complications thread. There is lots of discussion about fluro and people talking about possible leaks or slips.

Good luck and I hope you find your answers.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
