I think it sounds like you are making excuses for him. He sounds controlling, or at the very least, a non-supportive a-hole.

I agree with those that posted earlier. Sounds like you have outgrown him. I would make sure that you have other support people in place after surgery, because it doesn't sound like he is reliable.

Fill Amount Question
running_scared replied to tomato pie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had 5ccs in my 10cc band at surgery. My first fill was 0.8ccs, but I found that it was borderline too much at once, as I couldn't burp well for a day. Now I get .2ccs at a time, just more often. -
Surprise During Ultrasound

I have a few cysts on my liver. They are from taking hormonal birth control. -
Are You Stretching Your Pouch If...
running_scared replied to SashaWLS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, it sounds like having reflux of any sort, should have been your first clue that something was wrong. I'm sorry this is happening to you, but I think you need to accept part of the responsibility, and stop trying to scare others. -
April Bandsters!
running_scared replied to Moonlitedi's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think she posted an update somewhere else, saying that they had to take the whole band out. -
So Frustrated With This Stupid Liquid Diet!!
running_scared replied to shoppinmama's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What's your point? The pre-op diet is about shrinking the liver, not losing weight. -

Good for you for taking control of your health! Stick around, and read read read. There are a lot of good magazine articles, and longstanding threads with tips and tricks. -
April Bandsters!
running_scared replied to Moonlitedi's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon's office gives fills based on how long I can go before getting hungry, not on how much weight I am losing, because, like you, all of my weight lost thus far, has been because I've been diligently tracking my intake. -
I would ask your surgeon if (s)he plans to suture the band in place, to help prevent a slip? Since they are going in anyway, it might be worth asking.
-
Maybe you need a few more fills? I have 6.2ccs in my 10cc band, and I'm just starting to see what the green zone is about. Try searching Bandster Hell. It will explain what you are going through. And remember, you didn't put this weight on overnight, so it isn't going to come off overnight either. Most doctors are happy with 1 to 2 pounds lost a week.

Miserable At This Weight!!

Why would you want to stall on losing weight, if you can do it now? -

Don't Sell Yourself Short - How Much Have You Really Lost
running_scared replied to elcee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Judy, unless you weighed 100 pounds to start, losin 41% of your body weight in 3 months is fast! -
I'm sorry, but you are going to have to get used to not eating things, even if they are right in front of you. It sucks, but it is better in the long run, if you cultivate that skill now.

Its Not The Pounds Its The Inches For Me.

I've also 'only' lost 10 pounds since April 20th, but I have gone down a size in clothing. -
Post-Fill Diet? Just Curious.
running_scared replied to Scooby_Who's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That's a post-surgical diet, not a post-fill one -
I also think it sounds like you are too tight. Night cough and acid reflux are both signs of that.

Help...loose, Then Tight, Loose, Then Tight?!?!?

What about going in for a smaller fill, like .5 or even smaller? -
I Back And I So Mad With This Surgery
running_scared replied to marielalora's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also banded April 20th, and I've lost 10 pounds since surgery, and I'm thrilled. (For people confused by the ticker below, I lost a decent amount in the months before surgery). I think you need to do some more research about the mechanisms that make the band work, and how you should eat to maximize the effect. -
Stomach Belt
running_scared replied to melissajester's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've never heard of it. Is it a pressure garment?
