I had my band 14 yes. Unfilled about a year. Gained 10 pounds from goal. Lower carb high protein helps me. My skinny husband does the fasting. He was 200 at his highest and is 159 today. Do what works and great job!

I am pretty agressive where I only have two keto meals within a 4 hour window. High fat, medium protein an vegetables. I do not count calories any more.

Topic: RE: Sick of starting over!!!!

Hi

you can do this !!! I was banded in 2008 started at 312 got down to 202 back up to 240. Have decided Im sick of this too!!!

I don't feel I have health issues from the band. I just never fully got control of everything I put in my mouth.

I am back in the gym 5 days a week. Doing a lot of strength training which i actually enjoy! never knew this always did treadmill with no results . Almost 50 so decided its time to get this under control once and for all

Topic: RE: Taking my trusty band out...

Hi

I was banded in 2008 over ten years ago. I have lost 75 LBS but still need to lose more to get to my goal weight. Have no health issues except I've been in the gym a lot recently and notice some swelling by my port probably due to weakness in that area. Im working out 5 days a week and feel better then I've felt in years trying Keto/IF and its ok so far. I just made a appt with my surgeons office for a upper GI just to check to make sure everything is okay. Otherwize I feel great! Elizabeth

Hi

I had my band put in 2008 and hear some horror stories and get nervous from time to time but never had real issues. I haven't been on for years as well.I have lost 71lbs with the lap band and back at it I'm trying hard now in the gym everyday and eating healthy. I am trying Keto/IF as well just started and hoping for similar success. Do you count calories? or just eat 4 hour windows a couple of meals ?

thanks for sharing

Hi John. I'm in a similar situation. My band is still in from 2014 but I don't really use it. It got me down from 265 to 220 but since so I had most of the fluid let out a year ago, my weight is creeping back up again.

I have been been thinking of saving up for a revision but am intrigued by your success with intermittent fasting. Can you recommend any resources that you used?

Hello Everyone, I haven't been on this site in years, but I thought I would check in to let you know how it's going. I had my band put in 8/29/07 where I was 360 lbs top and 346 when I had my surgury. With my band, I went down all the way to 185. Over the I course of years, I had some problems with the band where I was having issues with it. Eventually, I stopped refilling the band. I haven't had a refill in over 6 years. I worked my way up on weight all the way to 265 pounds. I found that i could always work around the band and even though I still can't eat bread without issues, I could still easily eat cookies and things that are soft. On December 2017, I decided enough is enough and eventually went on a keto diet and also incorporated intermittent fasting. I now only have a 4 hour window from 3 pm to 8pm where I feed. The rest of the time I fast. From December 2017 to current I have lost 82 pounds without the help of the band. I feel great and plan on getting to my 170 goal which is close :)
