Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor It may be to late for me



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery almost two years ago. I am very sad to say I have gained almost 20 lbs of the 35 that I lost. It really feels hopeless right now. I would like to get back on track ,but not sure I can. It may be to late for me

It's never too late with the band. Call your doctor, schedule a fill. Join WW or your favorite weight loss group if they help keep you motivated.

Come on LBT as often as possible. It HELPS!

I've heard stories like yours before that ended in success. You can do it!!!!

thanks, maybe this is a good first step back. i have no one to talk with about this, so I really feel all alone. Trying not to feel too sorry for myself.

Pat yourself on the back for taking that first step! You haven't given up and you still have your band there to help you, you just have to use it!

Have you made an apointment with your doctor? You should def get a fresh start with a new fill. Also are there support groups in your area?

I prefer this site for support, but some folks benefit from face to face meetings.

Where do you live? I'm in VA and work in DC.

It isn't to late. You can get back on track, and you can do this. Join a gym like lady fitness, get a trainer, and follow the diet again. You will probably be amazed how fast you can lose those gained back. Set your mind to it and you can do it. Best Wishes, djzlady96

      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!
