Lap band

Not sure if this posted already or if  it deleted. It will be 3 years this August that I had my Lap Band surgery,  Much to my disappointment  I haven't lost much weight and its very frustrating.  I gag  on pasta but I can usually eat steak. After the initial gag and/or vomit I can usually eat anything???  Are there any similar cases out there.   Several attempts to adjust the band failed and I had to have surgery again to adjust the reservoir.  I've had to wait two months before they would attempt adding solution to tighten.  I'm scheduled for tomorrow.  I really hope this helps because I'm getting very frustrated.

me too, I've failed also.  It was two years in May.  I am going to try again, though.  I think I am ready. June

For me the hardest part of having the band is waiting until I will have restriction.  I was banded in April and have had two fills so far.  So far nada.................Unless someone can convince me otherwise I really feel that I do not have a band.  I go for my third fill on the 23rd and hope that I will have some restriction.

I read the lapband main board every day and read about people who have lost a great deal of weight.  Right now without any restriction I am trying whatever I can.  I can eat ANYTHING so today I got out my Weigh****chers books and was able to stay on plan all day.  (To be honest I went to Harrah's casino in Chester, Pa. for seven hours and did not have any food around me).  Once I get restriction I hope I will be able to eat smaller amounts of food and feel full.  Good luck to both of you and I hope we all can get this down right and be a success. 

Post on the main lapband board and you will get so much support there and find out that there are many just like you *****ally want to succeed.  Helen
