no longer a bandster... in body, but in heart I am.

I know there are many that want me to say how bad the band is. It wasn't all the problem. I would say it was 50-50. My band was in deed slipped when they removed it. My band worked well, when I could have it adjusted. Unfortunately my body just didn't like the band.

That said... My body loves the RNY! I've already lost 22 pounds, in 10 days (most of that is in one week). I lost 20 pounds in 6 days. Since then my body is catching up. My ring size is going down already. My mom ring was so tight, and now it's swirling around all the time. My yoga pants that I live in, are now baggy, instead of tight. I feel amazing just 10 days post op. I tire easily, but it's getting better every day.

I wish you all well.... Will peak in on ya sometimes.

Congrats Teri, glad you found a better fit for you. Make sure you secure that ring (ring guard or put it on a chain or away) until you have it sized. Those rings start slipping off before you know it and it would be a shame to lose it.

Good luck!

So sorry to hear you had problems with the band. But  congrats on the RNY looks like you are doing fantastic. May you have continued success

Sorry you had problems but congrats on your current success. There really is no one wls which fits all! Thanks for not joining the the-band-is-the-work-of-the-devil group! Those people really insult those of us who like our bands!

My very best wishes!  Keep us informed!

I wish you great success --- yea to those loose yoga pants!!
