A new start

Former lap band who had it removed due to rejection now sleever who had ZERO weight loss. I hired trainers,dietitians followed the diet to a t. Never lost a pound. So I gave up. Now I am at my wits end. I weigh more now than I ever weighed. Called the previous surgeon now in New Mexico I'm in California. I am considering hypnosis. The other surgeon I spoke to stated I should move forward with the dueondle switch. I have celiacs disease, high blood pressure and severe depression. I'm so confused. Need to find a friend in common and start step one. But where do I begin?

Some of the best and most respected DS surgeons are in California.  You might want to start researching on www.dsfacts.com. There's a list of DS surgeons there too. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Hypnosis was a waste of $50 for me.  You've got some of the most talented DS surgeons out there in CA, so go for it.

The DS might be helpful for you. Gina is right check out DSFacts.com  and the archives here for a starting point.

Good luck I hope you find the right answer for you.

I suggest that you begin with an appointment with an endocrinologist.  If you lost NO weight at all with a band and then a sleeve, either something is quite wrong medically (in which case even a DS isn't likely to help), you were given REALLY incorrect eating guidelines after both WLS procedures, or you are not following the eating plan "to a t".

i think it is important to find out what the problem is before you seek a third surgery.

What did the trainer, dietician, surgeon, etc. say about why you lost absolutely no weight at all?
