I got 5ml removed from my band this morning, so far no vomiting. I hope that was the problem. Now I have no restrictions. Hopefully everything goes well with that

Today is my 1 year and I lost 50lbs with no fills. But I hate the band. But I know if I take it out u will gain it all back. The pain and I keep throwing up is not worth it. I'm gonna give it til the end of the year before deciding what to do.

Does anyone have trouble walking and eating? Just about every morning I throw up. If I eat anything like 2 bites of grits or half a banana it comes up after that Im fine so the doctor gave me an X-ray and everything was fine. I take the acid reflux pills it don't seems to help, and I really can't keep anything down til after 11am. Anyone ever had these problems. If this keep up I think I'm gonna have it removed

In 2 weeks its been a year since I've been banded. No fills and 45 pounds down. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. U thought I would be down way more than that. But I guess its good with no fills and all. But I think its time for me to get one. Hopefully it don't open up a new issue for me

I had surgery on March 30. I have yet to have a fill. Why? Because my stupid doctor will not give me one. He says oh ur young, u can do it. If I could do it I wouldn't had surgery, jackass!!! I do feel good about the 40lbs I have lost but I think I can do better if I had a fill. Now that I haven't seen him in about 3 months, the office is calling wanting me to come in for a fill. I told the office I'm not coming in unless I get a fill. If he's not going to give me one I'm not wasting my time and gas to come. Now they are pissing me off...#frustrated#

Do anyone know any doctors in fayetteville area who does fills

Hey I got banded March 29 and I need to find a doctor who give fills in Fayetteville area. I got banded in Lumberton, and my doctor is tripping he don't wanna give fills so I gots to go.

Since being banded on the 29 of March I have only lost 15 lbs. If my doctor does not give me a fill when I go back on the 29 May I'm just gonna find me another doctor. I really think I need a fill. I need to experience it for myself to determine if I wanna keep getting them or not.

I went to the doctor yesterday. I thought I was going to get a fill since I haven't had one since my surgery on March 29. I wanted to cry because I was telling him I have no restrictions and I'm hungry all the time. He was like u don't need one it might open a new can of worms for you cause ur young and I think u can do it without one right now. So I go back in 2 weeks and I'm going to tell him I want one just so I know for myself rather it works for me or not. I really wanted to curse him out, but I know I haven't been doing what I needed to do for more weight loss. This is really frustrating.

I thought this journey would be easy. It's not kinda upsetting, I'm frustrated, haven't had a fill yet and my weight is at a stand still. I hope it gets better. My first fill is May 15. Hope it works for me.

Does anyone take diet pills while banded. I haven't had a fill yet, but I stay hungry a lot, I was thinking about taking a appetite suppressant.

I feel so discourage. Since getting banded on March 29 its like I'm at a stand still with my weight. I'm hoping I did the right thing, with getting this lap band. I don't get my first fill till 15 of May. Hopefully I can get some kind of restrictions then. I'm walking every morning 30 minutes. My diet isn't bad, just frustrated.#hope it will b worth it.

Can u use cream or cocoa butter on the scars. What do u guys use.
