PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be careful with the Phenteramine. It causes alot of cardiac issues!!!!! It landed me in the hospital for a week!!! Take care and God Bless!
hello dear Sherry, do you think that you should have done the vsg? I am so sorry for what you are going through. It is horrible, when you are not satisfied and that lap band is still in you. I never liked a foreign object in me. and also I am scared of neadles. At least if money is still available, you can still go through gastrectomy procedure. It has a lot of success rate. I am planning to go through vsg. Although I am so scared, but the same time I am so tired of my fat self. Good luck to you
I agree that the Lapband is a tool to assist in losing weight. I think having a good doctor is also key. I think Mia didn't have a good doctor. Congratulations on being down 61 lbs. I can't wait to get there with you. Don't worry about the haters we all get them, just brush your shoulder off. lol
Thanks for the advice, I did brush that lurker off, no balls or tits, otherwise they would get on here and tell it like it is, if they can! I have also questioned Mia's doctors advice, he seemed like he was being rude to her. Congrats on your weight loss so far and Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Deal with it. It was a response video to Mia, my friend and where I was at the time. I am sixty one pounds down and not yet on a year out and I am not at all interested in your negative comments, piss on you!
You are preaching again! Good for you for being honest people see all the happy go lucky band vblogs and dont really see the full picture. As someone who did research on youtube before picking the band, I wish there were more people like you who hung around and told the truth THE BAND IS A LOT OF WORK! I fear most had slow/no weight loss and stopped posting but thats what people need to see meaning you the vbloger and the people watching-pre & post op so we know we are not alone! Thanks girl!!!
I dont mean to be preaching, just telling it how it is, the BAND is very HARD work so hard that you may as well do all this on your own! thanks for watching girl your support is most appreciated!
Im so sorry that its not working for you.. I honestly think it depends on the program you go through and person to person. I had to go through classes b4 I could get my band I started excersizeing in June and had it in nov I also started protine shakes way b4 surgery I think doing those things taught me how to curv my hunder and prepaer for the band. I wish it was working for you! this made me sad..... I ve almost lost 100 lb since NOV 20 lb to go
I love you so much Sherri, cause I feel the same way. It makes me feel better just to hear someone else say what I'm feeling. I feel that If you don't get restriction right away after surgery then your sunk. We are only 1 week apart in surgeries and I feel totally misled about the Lap Band. Nine months out and I can't get past 30 lbs and am starting to gain and am so very discouraged too! Thanks ! But please don't give up Sherri we'll find a way!!
I agree with you 100%!! I am now getting gastric bypass over band. My insurance denied this revision, but with a lot of patience, persistence, money, and help from God, the decision got overturned and I was approved.
They have had the band in Europe for 10 years longer than the USA and they are starting to abandon it b/c it is failing people...it's not the people it's the band...my surgeon takes them out at the same time does the Minigastric bypass check him out on youtube Dr Rutledge he has about 700 videos and some about "failed lapband" best wishes..Rose
I hope your feeling better xx Yeh we are all different' are you taking vitamins as well? Yeh my surgeon said the band isnt be all and end all someone will come up with a better solution in the future.
Of course you are all up in it! We are all in this together...people just have to learn to respect a difference in opinion and remember that no one should be surpressed. One size does not fit all. I hope you are having an excellent weekend, I am! :) cheers xoxoxo
And if your older and it work for you,great,but for those of us that is having a hard time it sucks,but it's the choice we made and we have to live withe it,so Mia,Sherry,GG,and all the others having a hard time,lets pray and support each other we will get through this,withe the help of jesus christ,we can do this,stay encourage.Sherlita
Thanks Sherlita, everything is going to be just fine! I haven't stopped working at my weight loss but I am being realistic about the band. I plan on continuing to tell it like it is irrespective of the backlash on Youtube. I chatted with Mia Saturday and we are going to be true to ourselves and this is my channel and I am going to tell it like it TIZ from here on out! Thanks for watching!
Sherry,I know some people don't want to hear the truth,they want you to come on here and keep it fake,but the reality is,your right the band is hard,but I guess either the way you pay a price,its our decision what price we pay,rny,is hell of dangerous,but quick weight loss,the band is more safe,but dissapointmen,unless your in your 20s,and your motabolism is hella high,but its just not that good for us older women,the band is hella hard,so for all try to understand were,Sherry is coming frome.
Kudos to you for realizing that you have to do your part for the band to work. I look at the band as a tool to help the journey to the goal a little easier. It allows us to stick to whatever dietary plan we have chosen for ourselves and in the end, the band will (hopefully) help us maintain that weight loss. Because grant it, we all know how to lose weight, but the struggle is keeping it off. It's ok to do what you need to do. If you need to snack, then snack.. just chose wisely.
Thanks Jenna! Thats exactly what I chatted with Mia about. Lets all just GET to goal, once we are there I believe the band will be so beneficial in maintaining whereas other surgeries are not. Thanks fro watching! :)
Hi Sherry, thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts. I don't want another surgery either, nor is it really an option, so I have to make this work. I appreciate your support, and I will talk with you soon.
Sherry, im always down the middle with your videos. I would like to say that I agree w/ you about the band is not for everyone. It does take a lot of control and effort for you to stop yourself when there is no restriction. That is very hard to do for people who have head hunger and cannot control their hunger. I recommend them to do gastric in that case cause I know the feeling but I have good self control. I disagree when u say lapband should not be categoried with gastric, ds, etc
Good for you Sherry! I think being honest about your journey can only benefit others. Everyone's journey is different and if you struggle with hunger than I'm sure others will too!! Please don't let that deter you from making videos. Hunger is one of the reasons why I didn't have the lapband which was my first choice originally. Once I found out I would still be hungry and just unable to satisfy that hunger, I decided against it. Best of luck to you!!!!
Thanks so much and I do recall you were trying to get the band initially and switched. I think that was the right thing to do. Congrats again on onderland! :)
I do appreciate your honesty! This thing, this lapband, is different for everyone. Me and my daughter both had the lapband done. And we talk about how we feel constantly. One thing is it is a different kind of "full". Your stomach is still hungry but your stoma is full and can't take anymore. I hope that makes sense. Sometimes I am SO hungry, then I eat too fast, then throw-up because I ate too fast, then I can't get anything down. It can be frustrating. I feel a little anerxous at times.
Thanks for watching, I hope everyone understands that I am not anti-band, I am simply saying the advertising that you will feel no more hunger in not accurate and a tad bit deceptive. For some of us the band may not have been the best way to go. Have a great weekend!
I havent had my surgery yet, but watching this video makes me nervous. My surgery is less than 3weeks, and with all the work I have done to get approved I cant turn back now. But when I had my consultation, I had the option for gastric bypass, and my surgeon and I both agreed that lapband would be best for me. Since you are heavier and your hunger is more intense, I believe your surgeon should have pushed you towards gastric. Did you go to a board certified doctor? good Luck!
Thanks so much for watching! :) I went to Mexico for my band based on my research, the advertising and books, etc. There was no doctor pushing me either way. Good luck with your surgery! Have a great weekend!
I don't have much HUNGER... I do have major SNACKY'S if i don't take my supplement I FIND MYSELF SNACKING ALLLLLLLL DAY & NIGHT. but of course.. that's probly cuz i can't eat anything solid... LOL.. my issue is that they say we can have anything in moderation... but i can't have much of anything that's not a slider... like...EVER....
sorry Sherry I have to disagree.........i would still be 250 if i hadn't had the band and although i am not at goal i am no longer fat and am happy. I don't eat as much.. i am not ravenous as I used to be ...and I sure don't eat 1/4 cup food..and sometimes I do PB....you need a good dr and a support team to help...truly..IMHO
Disagreent is cool with me, thanks for being nice about it. But I was almost 350 lbs, I have hunger issues that you are blessed not to have. All I am saying is the band is not for everyone. AND, I am going to make it work either way. Thanks for watching! :)
dont let 1 person stop you from telling your truth!!!!! ppl need to hear this. everything is not roses and sunshine !
