It does cause pain if you overeat which gets relieved with vomiting. The biggest problem with it is that it can make it harder to eat things like meat and vegetables but stuff like chocolate and biscuits pass through it pretty easily so it doesnt encourage healthy eating or sustainable weight loss.
Exactly the same, people with IBDs find it easier to eat processed foods, but you of course have to limit your intake!
Bonkers, you'd have thought going through the surgery would be enough encouragement!People do it though, they are able to lose weight in the short term but gradually increase their intake back to what it was before and the band stretches out again over time. I know quite a few people who within five years of getting a band have lost a large amount of weight yet been back where they were having eaten through the band.
You have to keep working at it for life, it’s not a quick fix. I don’t think Brogan has the will power.
