Omg you are living in my hell!!!! I have been banded since 2009 and the first year was ok however since then I live everyday in fear of not being able to eat without some type of band drama!!
Highest Weight - 433
Day of Surgery - 398.5
I am so sorry! No help here, still banded - this forum is much slower than when we were first banded, I hope someone jumps on and can help!

I see I had a typo in my first post. I had my band removed in 2015 after a slip. By the time I had it out all I could eat was slider food or I would throw up. So here I am 5 years later weighing more then I did to start. I feel I need help to lose the weight so I am starting to research and visit seminars of doctors I think would be a good fit.
Hi!
I was banded in '11. Lost 140 pounds. I have a 6 month old baby (only pregnancy since banding) pre pregnancy I had gained about 20 pounds from my lowest now need to drop 50 pounds to get where I was. I came back to the forum today to see if anyone had gotten to where I was. My doctor is telling me I am literally in starvation mode, I didn't really believe that existed ?
Whats got you considering revision?

I'm so happy you have changed. You were mixed up with the wrong crowd I think. Best of luck to you.
Hi Dar,iI sent you a private msg a couple of days ago. I.m not newly banded but am struggling. I would love to use your CD's . I live in the Mississauga area. THANKS
Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement. There are moments when I think, hmmmmmmm..... I could actually have some steak now (my band didn't like steak), but then I think about when I was so overweight that even the hospital,had a difficult time assessing and helping me. Whispers heard that they needed extra assistance to move me. I don't want to ever be that girl again. I'm never going to be "thin", but I'm thrilled to be "normal/average" range.
And i I know I could just have a small amount of steak, but I'm afraid that just one little of this, or just one little of that, will end up taking me back down that path.

Prayers for a speedy and uneventful recovery! You were extremely successful with the band, you have learned new eating habits and workout habits that you can continue to use.

Hi,
my username use to be looking4hope. I don't have access to my old email and can't remember the password so I created a new account.
Just looking to see who is still here. I used to think that I would never have another wls that the band was my only chance. I was banded 6-17-11 I had the band moves 1-22-15.
I am going for a consult on Thursday for gastric bypass.
If you were here back in 2011 how are you?
I live in Ontario , Canada and have a series of LapBand motivational CD's that I used all the time when first banded approx 15 years ago. I would like to give them to someone newly banded who might be struggling with some aspects like emotional eating etc. Please send me a private msg.
