I know just how you feel. In 2009 I had a lap band that failed. I spent $13,000 of my own money and it failed. I did EXACTLY what they said. One NUT said eat 500 calories but no loss. The other said starvation mode on 500 calories so eat 1,000 and I gained 5 lbs. No one was on the same page. I wore myself out calling for guidance and finally gave up after months. Terrible aftercare on the docs part. Now I hear the band has a 70% failure rate. It was not me it was the band. So I am leaning toward RNY. I feel your pain but RNY DOES WORK? There is a combination that will work for you. You have to persist and be strong and find the key. You will. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers dear one. I will soon be on the other side with you.
