AND THATS TO FAR TO DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR ME. YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT topcare4all@gmail.com THX INSANEJANE JANE FOR SHORT

hello my story goes I had the LB in Nov. in and out of ER and doc office getting it unfilled always getting stuck and then had a slip that ended up being emergencie band removal the surgeon that took the band out wants to do a sleeve on me and bottom line I m scared of having it not only because of healing time and pain but will I have the same problems I had with the band sticks and foaming,throwing up, acid reflex, ect. ect. does anyone on here have a story anything like mine?? that can talk to me my insurance has approved the surgery but I haven't set a date because of fear, any and all opions appriciated

I really am not having a revision my band has been out now for 2 months and i have gained 12 pds back thats why i had decided to go ahead and go w/ the sleeve but i am scared of healing properly and it working for me since i had so much trouble with the band thx for ur support

wow I hope your right please keep in touch my e mail is topcare4all@gmail.com

those of you that had this in your fiftys what was the pain and healing time like?

anyone had wedy in mesa az do your fill can you comment on price and knowledge

I WOULD LOVE TO PICK YOUR BAND BRAIN AND WOULD LOVE YOU AS A MENTOR MY E ADDY IS topcare4all@gmail.com

Just left hospital got stuck and it wouldn't go anywhere so had to be unfilled again I am spoon bummed out cuz it's back to all will power for couple weeks

I also found if I eat and do other things I eat slower and it gives my last bite a chance to move down before another one comes in and that has helped me so far

I hear you and we all have been through some ruff spots but hang in there i am trying to take my own advice

I would recomend that you tell people around you because one day you might have a serious stick and then you will need the support I wasnt going to tell anybody either because they all want to give the judgment but i did and i got it from a few that said they where just concerned because of the danger anyways i decided screw that and i tell everyone that it comes up with and if they want to judge they are just jealous because i am loosing weight and they are not getting healthy

I have had 2 serious sticks one that i went to the er w/ cause i thought i was having a heart attack both bad sticks with eggs i will never eat eggs again now with my last fill i fell what you people are saying but i think if i eat like a turtle slow like have a bite then go do something have another bite ect. ect. it works better for me we are all use to eating fast hard and big so the band is sooo foriegn to us it take s time and thought I have found for me thank God for this sight to help us when we have questions

I would love some easy calorie free or atleast low cal sweets recipes that dont require a lot of time or trouble BUT HERES ONE THAT I MAKE I take water chicken stock and a meat either beef or chicken bring to a boil and add barley simmer for 40 min. season with everything in the cupboard I call it scotch broth love it and filling

how will a person ever get to the green zone if they always have to have some taken out I am experiencing a uncomfortable stick when i eat also on soft foods but i am going to deal with it because every time i have a little taken out i want to eat a cow and my will power sucks thats why i got the band to help me with starving all the time if I have to feel a little discomfort to keep from feeling like i have to eat all the time then i will pay that price we will see how it goes i am going to eat slower than a turtle and see if that helps

well my doctor freaked out on me when i veered of the liquide diet before i was suppose to and i left his office in tears but thats in the past and follow everything he says to a T now

I would say go for the fill my band acts like yours and with 2 fills i had to go in and have a unfill so now my doc fills me a tiney bit every 2 weeks this fill i just had is acting like you say yours is but i believe that only the fills will make the band work and its trial and error until you hit that green zone so i m not giving up on fills evan though like youy i feel miserable at times when i eat and other times i dont but i have to eat super slow yesterday yogart got stuck for goodness sakes

I wish my fill journey was like yours i never know if the fill is right until a couplke days later I m in pain the water always goes right down it all good until I try food

HEY BRIDGET WHATS THE PROTIEN SHAKE THAT TAKES LIKE CAKE BATTER PLEASE TELL ME

no and if I did I would find a new doctor that understands obesity more than yours seems too this isnt your first time you have been on a diet Right?

I think FOOD comercials should be banned all of them when I see a pizza commercial I want to pick up the phone and order everytime I usually flip the channel when they come on one day I flipped the station and everyone i flipped to had yummy food on them

lol poor baby

I went through what your going through and when I had a unfill I felt like a new person and now I feel like I need another fill e3ach person is different w/ thye band but you are not doing yourself right if your sliming and all that go get a unfill and go slow I know its hard cuz since my unfill I have gained 3 pounds but I was so dehydrated when I went in for my unfill that I m not worried about it I will loose it and feel good it will just take longer than I wanted but I have to remember this is a change for life so I will work it and hope my sweet spot comes soon good luck to you

so sorry for you

premire nutrision from costco is a good one too

been there done that its a great feeling when your excersise partner who is small and healthy says you want to keep going and you say yes and are happy about it
