  Time and time again people post about Restore, Rose and Stomaphyx failure.  I mention the lapband  and they say they have never heard of this.  Daisy

And then all the unhappy and ex-bandsters will tell you to be very sure that's the right thing to do!

You definitely can do this......but why would anyone want to?
It would be a down grade in my book.

My stoma was 25 mm when I had the Restore procedure last year.  The Restore procedure 6 months out and was 16mm.  I just can eat so very much.  For example I had a whole chicken breast and 1/2 c mashed potatoes for dinner.  I waited a while and really needed to eat more food.  I was STILL hungry.  I didn't crave junk I just wanted more food.  I ate a whole crunchy cucumber and then finally felt satisfied.  When I am out I eat junk food (I tolerate all foods) and they usually aren't healthy.  When I am on vacation for a week I gain 5 lbs easily (not including the water weight that comes off easily).  Then I diet for a month to lose the 5 lbs.  Then something else comes up and so I am still yo-yo dieting.  I wish I had been able to get a lap band last year but I was told it could not be done.  Daisy

I can see your dilemma.
I am the same way. I can eat a good healthy dinner and still be hungry or be hungry an hour later. And I gain weight so easily.
Is it 3500 cals. to add a pound? I feel like it can be done now on about 1800 cals. *sigh* I shoulda had a DS.

That's not a proven fact, by any means.
For me, it is truth. I have to be SOOO careful.
My metabolism just isn't right or something because of the easy weight gain.
