:clap2:happy one year to you, you have come long way and you worked hard. Good for you.. give yourself a hug you did it for you. keep up the good work.

my fills have been the same, all done by feel. no pain very fast he takes it all out and then add more. over in no time with no pain.

My band is my best friend, I can count on it to let me know when I had enough. We work side by side me and my band. Best thing I have done for myself in a long time. My life as change on March 1 2007 all for best.

I dont have any thought for you, sorry, I am getting my 2 filled on friday and I fell the same as you. I guess you feel more restriction then me you are 1 fill up on me. They say it takes awhile to feel a fill maybe it will kick in soon for you. good luck

you will do fine I was banded on march 1 2007 It was not that bad you will be fine.

just saying the words I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF is the best 6 words in the world. Thing back how many times have you said that. You have work hard for this. I know it is only a number but what a great number it is WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU..........

I follow a low carb diet alittle bit from atkins and alittle from south beach, I just do well on this way. I do not find this hard to do. My body does well on a high protien diet. I am not a sweet eater at all, dont like pasta,, do love potatoes but stay away from them. I like meat. chicken, beef, and vegs.

I felt the same way so scared, when it was over it was a piece of cake.

I have been doing that for yrs. way before my banding It as always been a way for me to have my cake and eat it too, and then spit it out. Iam sure some people would not agree with this but I do not have a problem with it.

Iam so looking foward to that day and number. I have worked hard to get there. I Have about 25lbs to go, happy day are here to stay

Why??????????????

happy happy days for you enjoy them

:clap2: I just got back from labband support group meeting. It was my first . I was surprise of the different faces and sizes of the people there. About 40 people there. I was woundering how many of you out there have a group support meeting. We have 1 meeting a month. We talk about portion controll, fills how often, how many to hit your sweet spot. 4 people there hit there 100lbs weight loss. which was wounderful to see how proud they were of them selfs and how hard they work for it. It was my first but not my last.

switch to wine, a couple of glasses of wine wont hurt

O boy been there and done that many times. HOW WE ARE FINE FOR MONTHS OR YRS. AND DOING WHAT WE SHOULD DO, LOSING WEIGHT EATING RIGHT. tHEN ONE DAY YOU GET OUT OF BED AND ALL HELL BRAKES LOSE. You just cant get back where you belong WHY.......... What makes our mind change to the dark side? I know it can take along time to get it right again. But it will happen I hope real soon for you I really do good luck

I also had one and was done on the same. I had a great recovery, all went well.

Hello Iam sorry but I dont have answer for you, I have eaten nuts and everthing was fine.

My first fill is this friday, I hope mine goes just as wellI am looking forward to feeling restriction too.

Sorry this sounds like something I would eat before I was banded.. sorry not now.

WOW I was banded on 3/1/07 and will get my first fill on 4/27/07 It is funny how drs. do things so differently. I hope your fill goes well for you. I will be the next day. I was told no food from 12 oclock the night before and liquids for the nezt 24hrs good luck

I stay with my protien drinks just to be on the safe side. I start my day with them.

Wow Good For You When A Door Closes A Window Opens

WOW that is great

WOW What does that all mean? I wounder if there is something else going on here. I lose 10 lbs the first week on pre diet. I have lost 25lbs so far without fill, first fill is april 27, I have heard of the 1 or 2 fills not working great but so many? maybe you should try another dr. By the way what does your dr say about this?

OMG I feel the same as you do about the anxiety attacks and the same thoughts about the band. I have been banded on 3/1/06. I have felt fine from the start but sometimes I feel stress about the band. About the unknown, I have not had a fill as of yet. My date is for 4/27/07 for my fill. I am so scared of all the scary stories I read, about problems with fills, pb's food getting stuck. All this stuff has not really happen yet. I might never. The more I read the more I worried. For my fill Iam going to ask the dr. to go really slow. So maybe these things wont happen. Never had anxiety attacks before the band. I didnt know what was happen to me had to ask a friend what was wrong, could not believe what she told me. I hope this stops, maybe after my fill I will se there is nothing to worry about. well good luck to you thanks for listening
