Good Luck! I will be praying for you. I am looking forward to eating fresh fruit and salad. I am going to spend the next 2-3 month eating health and seeing how it goes. My doc suggested the sleeve but he will only do it after the band has been out 2-3 months. So I will think about if but I am more likely to just try on my own.

Thanks! I am so happy! I feel great today! I haven't had any reflux but I haven't started a regular diet yet either. I am so excited. I may start visiting the revision and fail group to see what is what there. I don't post much although I try to lurk around. Many of you have helped me over the past 3 and 1/2 years. Thank you thank you thank you!

My scope showed everything is perfect. I will go to the Doc on January 29 to start filling my band again. I pray that all goes well.

I am going for an endoscopy on Thursday. If everything is okay. I will try fills one last time at the end of January. If my body still won't tolerate a fill I will start to find out about having the band removed. There is no point keeping it in there if it doesn't work. I am praying that all is okay and that having it empty all this time and starting again will be a success. I have regained so much weight :( Please keep me in your prayers. I am happy to be getting it done but scared to find out if something is wrong.

Can anyone tell me where I can get a description of other wls, the risks, the statistics, and the successes? is there one place that has all of that? I just don't know where to start. I never thought I would consider another surgery but after regaining and all the pain with lapband here I am thinking about it. I know how much better I felt at 258 then I do at 288. :(

The board seems a bit slow. I haven't been here in a long time but I think about everyone often. I am going to the GI on Monday and and will hopefully have a scope soon. My band is empty and I am gaining weight like crazy despite the fact that I am counting calories and exercising. I just went for blood work to see if they can figure out what is wrong. I am ashamed that the band failed or I failed with the band. I am also frustrated and depressed about regaining.
I wish I had listened to the voice in my head that said "It isn't too late to not get the band." I was so desperate for help losing weight.............not sure where I go from here.
