Bander looking to eat real food again.

Hi there,
Iam with you....Iam so sick of living off of Milk drinks and red bull!!
I have my appointment with DR Thomas on the 28th to get this band out. Iam so excited. Iam putting on weight faster then you can imagine and I feel worse then before I even had the band put in.
Good luck on the rest of your adventure, and here to being able to eat...........tomato, peas and corn, ooohh and GRAPES how I miss you!

Thanks for the great support. I had my fill taken out Monday and so far have not ate any chocolate, I am just enjoying Chicken & salad rolls. I forgot how nice real food is. I also have much more energy and am sleeping better without the shoulder pain. I will be going back in 4 weeks to see what the next step is.

Welcome!

Reflux? Whats that? I haven't had ANY since my sleeve, except for a few weeks after the op while everything settled down.

I wish you good luck on your journey!

Welcome aboard

Heaps of info here for you, very positive experiences and lots of support. Good luck with your decision making!

Hi and welcome to the forum.
There is tons of info on here, lots of banders who are now sleeved.

You will beable to eat food with the sleeve.

I am nearly 2 years out and can eat and drink anything, only in smaller portions

Wishing you all the best.

Hi Folks, I am so happy I found this place. I googled "lapband not working after 5 years" and found my way here. My band was great at the start and I lost approx 70% of the weight I wanted to. However now I am starting to put it back on again and with each fill the foods I can eat without reflux is getting smaller and smaller. Now I live on chocolate & ice cream! I am looking for a solution that allows me to eat real food without discomfort. I look forward to reading all your posts while I investigate the sleeve.
