I was banded in 12-06 but I recently got a revision to a sleeve. The band was causing me all sorts of problems.

Hi OregonDaisy
I had a fill in March and I know how you feel. I eat hardly a thing, Don't get hungry all day but eat a little but not much at all at work for fear of getting sick. I know I have a good amt of restriction because there are alot of things that make me throw up. Please please keep in touch. I do not know what is going on with me. I have lost about 55 lbs but that is it. why can't I get off anymore weight. I would love to get some suggesions. I am open to anything. I would think by now that I would be alot smaller...makes me so mad...I would love to hear from anyone..thanks Donna and my email is Mammysm@aol.com

If you get sick on most foods there is a chance you are too tight. People tend to eat slider soft foods when meat and hard protein get stuck. I have found a lot of people actually lose weight when they get a slight unfill so they can eat properly.

I gave you a good suggestion. If you're throwing up most foods, you probably are too tight. People don't lose well if they are too tight, and can't eat most foods.

Hi...I'm curious how people who have lived with the band are doing. Most of the posts on LBT are recent within the last two years. I'm interested in what we can expect after the first two years...like five or ten years. I wonder about scar tissue and build up around the band. Also, if you continue to visit your doctor monthly or keep getting fills. Is it once a year or how does it work? Anything anyone could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

I agree! ^^^
I am looking for longer term feedback, although NCIS, we may hear more from folks who have problems than those who have succeeded here... just a thought, not a criticism of anyone.

I just think and hope that there might be banded folks out there who don't come around here anymore b/c they've moved on. But I am interested in any and all feedback to know what to expect and perhaps how to avoid any pitfalls.

I am sorry if anyone has had problems..
