I heard that they are now only doing the 10 cc Band. Does anyone know if that is true or not, and if so why? :thumbup: What size is your band?

I read on another site that they are not using the 4 cc band anymore, which is what I have. I was just wondering if it was true and if so why. I have been banded for 2 years and am now starting to have issue with it, and was wondering if maybe it was because of the size of the band. Almost everyone I know including my husband has the 10 cc band. None of whom have any problems.

Hello all! I am having issues with my band and need your help. I have a 4 cc band and only had a 1cc fill. At night after falling a sleep I started to cough and vomit in my sleep. I even stop breathing altogether. (very scary) This was happening every night no matter how early or late I would eat my last meal, and even when I tried doing a liquid diet. I didn't feel like I had any restriction when eating at all. I went in for an unfill, and am doing much better now, but I am not at or anywhere near goal. Also, I don't want to gain back the 70 pounds that I have lost. Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone know why this might have happened?? I have an apt for Thursday to get scoped, but I am so worried that I may never be able to get another fill and gain my weight back...

thanks for the reply! I have been keeping up with the normal band diet. You know no breads, pasta's or really any kind of carbs. lots of protein, fish, chicken & beans! I am just worried that at 1cc I don't have any restriction, and now that is gone. I am hopping I can get a fill soon and more than 1cc so I can start losing again, I have just been maintaining for the past few months. I still want to lose 50 more pounds. It is so discouraging thinking I may not be able to have a fill without having these problems.

I finally did it! I made it to onderland! what a great place to be. from 202, to 197 after a 3 month Plato! In a size 10 jeans. Could this be me???? I wish I could shrink my top size for a XL to LoL but I am so happy! If I can do this anyone can! what a great journey, what a great life!!!:thumbup:

I'm having a problem, and need advise. When I try to sleep Fluid comes up so fast that either I choke or it comes out my nose. It's like "acid" reflux, it more like Water, but I can't sleep, and it only happens when I try to sleep. I've asked my doctor and he said to wait 4 hours to go to bed after a meal. and I have. I am still having this problem, he also said that i could be too tight, but I have little restriction. Has anyone else had this problem know what I could do to stop it??? Please help!

LOL... Thanks Lizzy, for the advice. I think I'll call my doctor first thing in the morning. Good luck to you! let me know the outcome of your results.

yeah I take an acid blocker twice a day! I just don't know what else to do. I don't want then to take anything out of my band, I am 3 pounds away from wonderland!

I never thought I would ever be smaller than a size 14, but Yesterday I bought myself a pair of size 12 jeans! I found myself lost walking around the "normal" size clothing in aw... When I was in the 6th grade I remembering wearing a size 14 since then I have been in bigger sizes, up to a size 26. I am so happy I felt the need to share. Maybe some day singe digits??? do I dare dream? If I can do this anyone can! I love my band!!

I don't know what I did, but I was having trouble with my sciatic nerve as well. my right leg was tingling and my lower back hurt so bad, would just cry out when trying to stand up straight. I went to PH 2 times a week for over 2 months! I am told to stop working out all together! I did, and now i am feeling much better, and am able to workout again! It feels so good to be back at it.

I have lost the most from my Butt! I wish it would start coming off my arms and tummy, but in due time! My hubby loves my new sexy legs!

I'm just wondering if anyone else is having any issues with this. I never thought of this as a problem, but finding it is! Can you tell the difference? how do you deal with this? I am finding, now that I can't eat any and everything I want, that I have issues with hunger v. cravings. Trying to make the right decision on what I eat is very trying, being so limited to what I CAN eat. How do you work your way around your cravings. My biggest craving is salty treats. I'm not too much of a sweet eater, but if it is salty I want to eat it! I will want/crave things when I am not really all that hungry, and finding it hard not to easy just because I can or want to. I am trying to keep strong and keep myself busy with other things when I start craving things. What do you do. How do you know if it's hunger or a craving? Does anyone know of any articles or studies done on this? :help:

I understand where you are coming from. One time at a well known gym, two muscle men actually made fun of me. I never went back to that gym. I now choose to go to a all women's gym. I would love to be able not to care what other think and say, but this is the real world, I care, and I am very over sensitive. It's who I am, but I'll never let them win. I will get to a normal weight, and be healthy no matter what!!

I never thought that I would see wonderland, now 19 pounds away, I think I just might make it. My goal is to be at wonderland before turning 40. UGH! 40 When did I get this old. I have a little over 4 months to go. I am starting to believe that I just might make it. I went for a this morning. 2.2 cc in my 4cc band. Wish me luck! You all give me such inspiration and hope. Thank you all!

Normal diet the day of and liquid diet 24 hours after fill. Works for me!

I am an Administrative Assistant for a large Insurance Company in Houston TX. I love my job!! Banded 2/16/07 292/218/180 Dr. Eric Wilson :funscale:

Yeah that normal! my 4cc band is at 2.4 and it's perfect! At 2.0 I could eat almost anything I wanted.

I can't drink while eating. It makes me PB, and makes me miserable for 30 min. I really have a hard time with this. :funscale:

Hey all! It's been a while since my last post. I went for my last about three weeks ago. I'm really tight, but I wanted it that way. Everything has been going great until just recently. Now when ever I eat anything that's not liquid, I instantly get a really, really bad headache, and I'm having a hard time eating anything close to solid food. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be because I am so tight? I don't want to get loosened. I'm down almost 60 pounds since I was banded on February, and I don't want to gain any weight back. Any help/advise/comments Please. :funscale:

Bread<~~~~ I miss it the most! Rice Pasta chicken :funscale:

Suddenly I see my humps skater boy black horse in cherry tree London bridge sweetscape smack that survivor I just really get pumped up by these songs! Makes working out so much more fun! :funscale:
