just a thought..........since the band isnt working
This is the only post I"m going to make on this subject. The reason few are willing to support your idea is because you have constantly rejected our advise in the past and yet still come back to complain when you still apparently don't believe you should have to follow the bandster eating rules. You complain that your band doesn't work yet you continue to not follow basic rules (drinking while eating) and abuse your band by being too tight for way too long and knowing it is bad but don't change the situation. Great you're getting an unfill but it's very possible the damage has already been done and it is often permanent damage. We continued for years to try to help you,yet you continue to do things the same way. You can't expect the band to change if you aren't willing to make the changes that it requires. I don't know if you never got any follow up from your surgeon or nut but I find it hard to believe you are so ill informed or maybe just stubborn that you do everything possible to make your band fail.
My band hasn't worked either but at least I did follow every rule to a "t", including a 30 day liquid diet preop. I ate the peas sized bites and chewed till liquid. I waited the 30 min. after eating to drink. I followed all the rules and it still didn't work. Because I keep getting so tight I had it emptied and I can tell you unless you are willing to work very hard you will gain every ounce back. You can go to all the weight loss groups you want but until you are willing to get the counseling it sounds like you need and make the life changes neccesary then we will continue to see your desperate post each and every year from now on.

lmao. so you did everything and it still didn't work. and what did you do to change that? sorry but you comment on what i do and dont do and as you said u follow thingsto a "t" and it still didnt work. hhaha.
and for the record, before i was pregnant i did everything right, and i was losing weight. it was awesome, then it all stopped, so hell yah after 3 years of nothing i will take a drink or keep it tight because thats the onlything it is good for these days.
and i wasn't complaining, i thought of the weigh****chers and asked advice on that. nothing else. so shuttit. oh and your comment aabout working hard if i get unfilled...........i know that, and thats what was making methink of weigh****chers. i would have no choice but to follow that, or any diet for that matter, because i wouldno longer have the support of the band
so thanks for your one time comment.
