It's been a year since I updated this thing, so I guess I'm overdue.I have had this band for 15 months now and it has been a complete waste of time and money.
I lost about 25 pounds in the first 3 months after surgery, then nothing for the next 6 months, just kept bouncing between 191 & 195. Then it started; the gradual climb back to were I was the day of surgery. It's like my metabolism just adjusted to less food and went back to storing everything I eat. No amount of fills did any good, they just made it impossible to get solid food down till late in the afternoon and it hurt to eat even then. And that "tames your hunger" claim is a load of crap. I've never been so constantly and ravenously hungry in my life, and I mean real hunger, not head hunger.
I HATE THIS LAP BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am now working on getting a revision to Duodenal Switch. I had my consult with Dr Anthone in Omaha, NE on the 15th of last month and am now waiting for Cigna to approve the surgery. Even if they don't approve it I will go ahead with it. I'll just be up to my eyeballs in debt.
Just counting the days.
