Calcium and Vitamin D medication
The band just never worked for me, I think the biggest issue is I ate healthy before and wasn't able to exercise because of a lung disease, so there really wasn't anything for the band to change. I only lost 20 lbs with it and then it started getting tighter after about 3-4 yrs and after a couple of partial unfills I just had it emptied. It cost me $225 every time I had a fill or unfill. I can eat healthier food now with out getting stuck or sick, I'd like to get it out but insurance doesn't cover bariatrics so gotta wait till I can get on medicare in a couple of years.
Thanks for sharing. This is someting I am worried about. I know someone who had it done and is actually bigger - then again I think they constantly melt chocolate to eat it. My problem has been portion size as I am sure I don't have a full button. I had the op on the 2nd sep and weight loss has been slow, but I still can't exercise. I do hope your lungs are feeling better and that you are feeling more content with yourself.
