the doctor said it would be harder for me since i have less weight to lose but its proving down right difficult.  I have had nothing but problems with my adjustments.  one doctor filled me with 2 full cc's and i ended up spending the night dry heaving! made my band so swollen they took all the fluid out gained ten pounds and had to start all over.  then i got the flu this winter and was throwing up for two weeks so took all the fluid out and gained weight and start all over again!  developed a shawtsky ring in my esophogeaus which they didnt dialate becuase i woke up twice during the procedure! now i have severe back pain almost every day and my doctor has ruled everything out except problems with the lapband.  i'm so depressed at this point.  i'm leaving my band in becuase at least i havent gone anywhere near my original weight but just feel like its not working that great for me.  my original goal weight was 120 (which was still considered overweight for my height) but now i'm gonna try for 140.
