I am pretty agressive where I only have two keto meals within a 4 hour window. High fat, medium protein an vegetables. I do not count calories any more.
Hi
you can do this !!! I was banded in 2008 started at 312 got down to 202 back up to 240. Have decided Im sick of this too!!!
I don't feel I have health issues from the band. I just never fully got control of everything I put in my mouth.
I am back in the gym 5 days a week. Doing a lot of strength training which i actually enjoy! never knew this always did treadmill with no results . Almost 50 so decided its time to get this under control once and for all

Hi
I was banded in 2008 over ten years ago. I have lost 75 LBS but still need to lose more to get to my goal weight. Have no health issues except I've been in the gym a lot recently and notice some swelling by my port probably due to weakness in that area. Im working out 5 days a week and feel better then I've felt in years trying Keto/IF and its ok so far. I just made a appt with my surgeons office for a upper GI just to check to make sure everything is okay. Otherwize I feel great! Elizabeth
Hi
I had my band put in 2008 and hear some horror stories and get nervous from time to time but never had real issues. I haven't been on for years as well.I have lost 71lbs with the lap band and back at it I'm trying hard now in the gym everyday and eating healthy. I am trying Keto/IF as well just started and hoping for similar success. Do you count calories? or just eat 4 hour windows a couple of meals ?
thanks for sharing

Hi John. I'm in a similar situation. My band is still in from 2014 but I don't really use it. It got me down from 265 to 220 but since so I had most of the fluid let out a year ago, my weight is creeping back up again.
I have been been thinking of saving up for a revision but am intrigued by your success with intermittent fasting. Can you recommend any resources that you used?

Thanks again & keep pressing.

I just got a letter that my clinic that I was going to is no longer making adjustments for the lap band. I am self pay and looking for another doctor in the northern Illinois area, Chicago or Rockford area.
I have had my band since 2007 and have been happy with it.
