I am new to this site but I thought it would be cool to blog. First off my weight...since i know I like to read what other did after a year. The day of my surgery I was 5'7 and weighed in at 227 and even though my year check up is not until next week I weighed my self on the 6th and I weighed in at 181.6 I went from a size 16/18 to a 10/12... I have seen many people lose weight a lot faster but I am good with where I am at. I got my lap band for free I got in on a study for people that have lower Bmi!!! I was pretty blessed with this one..But, now that the weight is falling off I throw up eveything and sometimes water do not even got down. I follow the rules not eating flour products or drinking while I eat but this is not fun right now....

I am also one with a lower BMI. Where was this free study? I have to self pay because my insurance won't pay. You are freaking me out with the throw-up issue. You can't get anything down, not even water?

I can not ..I can not tell you when the last meal stayed down at least a 7-10 days ago I have maybe got about 60 oz of fluid down since Monday. The thing is I have not had a fill since January. I thought the band loosen as you lost weight. I was working out but now I have no energy to do so. I was blessed to be able to work from home or else I am not sure were I would find the energry. The thing is if someday things do go down the band can not be to tight or is it I am to find someone else that may have gone through this. The weight lose may look great but I feel like crap!!!

It sounds like your band has slipped. Did you call your doctor yet? If not I would so he can look at it!

Get in to see your doctor ASAP! You are either to tight or your band has slipped. You can become dehydrated and end up with some serious issues!

By the way Happy bandaversary!

Even if you get a .25 out or .10 whatever you probably need to get some out- Just so you feel better. Just want to share with you I order a product called NEW WHEY liquid protein on Health Supplements & Vitamins at FreakyNutrition.com It has 42 grams of protein 0 sugar, 0 fat. They come in shots (this is the cheapest I've found them dozen for 22.95 ) That might help you feel better/ stronger and able to cope with your day!!! It sure has helped me!!!!!

Definitely take some fluid out of the band - sounds like it's slipped or moved and if you do something quickly (ie. empty it out) it can go back to where it should be. If you wait, you could get in more trouble. Got to your doc now!!

Update I went into the Doc today he empty me I am a little worried but I was down to 178 making it a 50 lb weight lose I drank water and didn't run to the bath room to through up. I am going to get my fluid up and go take my long 3 mile walks I miss so much. I go back in Thursday and we will discuss addingmore fluid but My goal was to weigh 180 and be a size 12 which I hit all my goals !!! Thanks for all the support
