Default Newbie Here...Former Lap Bander in need of help!
Hi all...

I am a yo-yo'er to the extreme. Had gastric lap band surgery in 2003 (after reaching 236 lbs at 5'2" - highest weight during pregnancy was 287)...

Went down to 126 in 6 months through "forced starvation" (doctor's term, not mine) and running on the treadmill 67 minutes a day/6 days a week.

Stabilized at around 136 or so. Lap band slipped in 2007, and had to be removed in July 2008 due to it causing me to vomit everything, including blood - really, it was lovely.

So since last July I have gained 40 lbs. I still exercise, I do Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones and Burn Fat/Boost Metabolism, as well as Zumba Cardio Party.

Food...whether I eat good or bad, I don't really see a difference. If I go to about 1100 calories, I can start to lose, but feel horrible.

Anyone else have any experience with this?

I really wish I could make a counter-commercial to all those lap band commercials to tell the other side of the story.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

On the first page it reads "Newbie here...Former Lap..."

Let's just say I was intrigued.

I'm sure Leigh will have something on the Jillian Michaels stuff.

Welcome!

Quick reply as I myself have never had a lap band, but I just I'd share that I've found this to be a surprisingly common experience amongst lap band users. Unfortunately I know a few women who had gastric bypass (I know, different procedure) who lost 100+ lbs only to gain it all back within a few years

Good job on continuing to incorporate regular exercise! How are you currently doing diet-wise?

Hi, Leigh,

I only see emails regarding thanking me for the purchase, but nothing specifically about my issue...am I missing it?

Thank you for any help!

I will re-send, it will be a little bit though. Make sure you have trainer at avidityfitness.net on your whitelist.
