Gastric Lap Band

Mary826

I too have the lap band. I had my surgery 4 yrs ago. The first year went very well with a 60lb weight loss. The next three I have managed to gain and loose approximately 20lbs. I find it very fustrating because I am only able to be filled to a certain point and don't feel restricted enough. When filled to a higher level a have reflux and regeratate . I was on Jenny Craig last year and lost 20lbs and have since regained it. I'm due for another adjustment on Monday and find a have to get adjustments every three to four months to maintain the desired level. I too am a muncher and find that junk food is no problem to eat with the band, goes right down. My new plan is to cut out the sugary snacks and carbs such as pasta, bread, rice etc. as well as track my food daily. Oh well fingers crossed.
