I'm glad this group is just Lap Banders! I'm new to the group and finally started logging my food after only using ticker on another site. The other site lumped all types of WLS patients together, so happy to find this group. I'm doing well with my band and have my first adjustment on January 2nd. I'm looking forward to…
I had my band on nov 30, 2012. Its been a year. 2 months ago I had a bad car wreck and broke both legs and one foot. I am still laid up. I was in the hospital a month. While in the hospital, I never had any saline removed from the band. Maybe I should have because I couldn't eat very good. The physical therapist put the…
I got my band the Monday before Thanksgiving last year (2014). It has been exactly 6 months and I have already lost 40 of the 181.7 lbs I HAVE TO LOSE. But Really want I am wanting to Know is if Anyone with PCOS has had success long term, maybe even being able to get pregnant? I find a lot of my PCOS symptoms subsiding but…
Or maybe too quickly/too big bites? I was banded almost a year ago, had a fill a little more than a month ago (I think I'm at about 5 or 6 cc's) and lately almost every time I eat I get this weird, painful gas feeling in my esophagus. Like there's air trying to come up and food trying to go down and they fight it out in…

I'm five years out! after losing 115lbs I began to have horrible Acid Reflux!! I had to have my band loosened several times to help avoid permanent damage to my esophagus. Oh how I thought I had sooooo much control.....the lbs are creeping 18 lbs up and not liking it!! Started Atkins 5 days ago.
Just seeking buddies who can relate to being banded
Hello I am hoping that I can get some advice and information. I was banded July 23 and have never needed a fill. I have lost 49 lbs. My concern is I haven't seen surgeon since surgery and have only seen PA. She did fills and was very tuned to my needs and following up. She has since left the practice so now the surgeon…
Has anyone else had to have their liquid completely removed? My band slipped, my stomach pulled up and I could barely eat - drink .... and I let it go .... I had been vomiting for a couple months if I wasn't VERY careful but the scale said 186lbs .... yeah.... 186lbs. ...... so I kind of didn't care! I had a barium swallow…
Hi there! I was banded September 2012. I've lost 40 lbs and I'm feeling great! Any advice for taking off the last 15 lbs? I'm an apple shape and my tummy is still pretty big. My goal weight is 145. I started Tae Kwon Do recently and I'm going once a week (I never would have believed that last September!). I'm also walking…
