Thank you, JuniperBerry, that is great information. I had a fill a few weeks ago and I don't feel hungry as soon after eating, thank goodness. Now I am working on eating better and I have lost 10 pounds since the fill! It's just what I needed to get motivated again.
Sharon, I'm so excited for You! I'm anxious to know how it goes. Please keep in touch with updates.
Wow. What an incredible story! I'm so glad you found what works for you. I will do some research on RNY. Thank you for sharing your story.
I had lap band surgery in 2009 and it never has really helped me lose weight. At best, it has kept me at the same weight I was when I had the surgery.
My problem is I am constantly hungry. I can eat a full meal and be hungry again in just a few hours. I try to eat several small meals a day but I end up being hungry constantly all day long. So this makes me always want to snack on things in between meals.
I have an appointment in 2 weeks for a fill (which I know is probably part of the problem) but I plan on asking my doctor about removing the lap band, or replacing it with something.
My main question for those who have gone through this is will I be hungry all the time after the band is removed? Because if that is the case, I might as well leave it in!
Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.
