Feeling stalled.

Well it has been 21 days and I'm only down 7 pounds. I'm hungry all the time and not for nothing but can eat anything. I've eaten everything even had mushy pasta that I chewed till it was paste and still no restricted feeling. Told my case manager. All ayone says is "You have to wait 6 to 8 weeks after surgery to get a fill. I shoud be back up to 222 pounds by then. My famiy is being very supportive and my kids keep telling me "Mommy your doing great we are so proud of you." I guess me telling them I wanted to have this surgery because I didn't want to b the fattest Mom in the room all the time. Helps them help me.Thank God my daughter alsways says "We love you Mommy cause your mushy!" No matter what that coming from a kid makes you smile.:w00t:

Omg!! Too tight again!!!!

Well I ended up going to see my surgeon again. Under fluro 6 weeks after having a removal I had to have even more removed. Not much but it was enought to finally feel better. I can finally eat something again. Yogurt had even started to be a problem. I feel much better today, no headache any more and I don't have a tight chest pain in the middle of my chest. I can breath again.

Too tight again!

well I'm going to see my Dr. tomorrow. He will probably take a few drops out again. I am feeling tight again. I knew I was getting tight again around my period but then I just couldn't eat anything. I was able to get maybe 2 tsp of soup in but it felt like I ate 2 gallon. Wish me luck I have no pain, thank God because I am taking it very very slow. Wish me luck and I can't wait to eat a full 5 oz yogurt again.:thumbup:

Feeling so much better!!!!!

I am feeling so much better since my adjustment. I am eating more than I was. that wasn't much. But now I am getting in at least one good meal a day. I have my kids home for Easter break as soon as they go back to school. Next week I will get back on my food journaling and exercise schedule. I feel so much better now that I am not too tight. No headache no chest pain and it does not hurt to breath. I am eating 6 ozs per meal and it feels better than it was before the adjustment. I am 15 pounds away from my goal. Wish me luck reching it.

Not Slipped

Hey saw the doc just too tight. Doc took out .2cc so I went from 5.8cc to 5.6cc I feel so much better. I was a little concerned because I had a fill 8 weeks earlier and had no problems so I am glade I called when I started having problems. I could have made my band slip if I didn't pay attention to my body. Back to walking again. Haho!:thumbup:

Just getting started

Started on this journey alone thinking no one would be supportive. I never get support on anything I do. Also I never do anything for myself ever. So when I finally told my husband I'm researching lapband surgery, I want to do it and we have very favorable insurance for lapbanding surgery. I was shocked when he said "If it will make you happy and it is something you want to do, go ahead." So I kept going. Went for all the tests, got my PCP to write a letter for me to my insurance company. Thougt for sure they were going to tell me I was too healthy. No high blood pressure, diabetes, no sleep apnea. My insurance company got all my paprwork on Tuesday and Friday my doctor called to tell me I was approved. He said I thought for sure they would deny you once but because of your Mother's medical background they approved you. Plus I was only 37.5 BMI and 45 years old. My insurance told me because of my Mother's medical background and my PCPs letter to them I was approved. I arranged to have surgery 1/21/09. http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wpvTAev/"> >

Think my band slipped after a 3 day coughing spell

I'm going to see my doctor on Thursday. He will check me under the fluro to see if my band slipped. Pray for me if it slipped I am going to be very disappointed. I am doing everything by the book. But the coughing had me gaging and almost throwing up for 3 full days. Anyone know the symptoms of a slipped band?
