This may sound dumb but when is a lap band card issue? I never heard of this. Sorry!

I'm a day late and I'm not happy to say I gained a pound. I'm at 175.5 spent the weekend with the kids before they went back to school and snacked when they did. I will be back on track this week.

Checking in at 174.5lbs.

Well I decided to keep it to myself. My brothers are Marines and my mom compares me to them alot. She believes that if my baby brothers could go thru being Marines then losing weight shouldn't be too hard. She fail to realize that I've been on diets and pills to help but the weight always seem to find its way back to me....lol....My husband is the only person who knows about it. It's been tough but I take it one day at a time. I don't want anyone to judge me. I've seen how people react when one of my friends had got the band and I don't care to go thru the same judgement. We know that it's not easy but in fact even harder with the band. We have to watch even more closely on what we put in our mouth. The ultimate decision is on you....everyone have their reasons on why they keep it private. This is just some of many for me. Besides I'm doing this for myself and not for anyone else. Good luck on your journey!

Yeah just let your nurse know. That happened to me when I had my surgery. My nurse just told me to leave my own panties on. You'll be okay!!! Good luck!!!!

I feel the same way I was banded on Dec 29,2010 and lost only 36 lbs and at a stand still. I workout daily in this Texas heat..... Just hang in there we've came so far just to give up.

Sounds like you're too tight. I would have to talk to the nurse or doctor or just go up there if it's not too far and see what could be done. Good Luck!

Are you making sure the meat isn't too dry? I was having the same issue and I had to get my band loosen yesterday and I feel better today so far. But time will tell because when I got my 2nd fill I was doing ok then 3 weeks later I was feeling tight. Like you, I chewed my food and timed myself. You maybe too tight....How long ago was your fill?
