    I used to have the same problem. I stayed on the pill Loestrin and never got a period. and feeling great. Any how I had my band unfilled once and gained 5lbs. in 1 week. Just go to weight watchers right a way for a while we all know it works. Don't mess up all the work you have done. hankfrank

    ctbhhm, Are you able to eat more than a half a cup of food? Maybe you have a leak in your band. The fluid may not be staying in the band sounds like something is wrong. Hank Frank

    2nd time banders . . . what's that like?

    my sister had a band slip. They pulled it up . It happened because of throwing up so much. It was her gullbalder. They removed it. Her band it opened, not filled for months. At first she gained some. But as we all should watch what we eat she is loosing again. She was the first band they had slipped. I'm banded also loosing slowly but thats ok. Remember it's in our heads also to watch what we eat.

    your pain doesn't sound normal. Call the Dr. and insist he see you.

    How much of a fill do you have? If you don't know ask the doctor. You need more , you will know when you have the right fill . you shouldNOT have to pay ANY THING UNTIL YOUR SATISFIED!!!WHEN YOUR FILLED RIGHT YOU CAN'T SWALLOW ANY MORE THAN A FEW BITES. GOODLUCK

    The pain in your neck and shoulder could be gas. I's very common with this surgery. Try gas-x or some think to release gas .

    Do you have a dietician to talk to about what maybe you should eat. I'm thinking of going back to mine. She's very stricked

    Denise' use a smaller dish like a salad dish, put your fork down after every bite,chew chew chew don't drink when you drink it has no place to go your pouch only holds 2oz. so if you add liquid theres no place for it to go but up. By not drinking while eating you keep full longer. try 6-7 almonds 1-2 hrs. before you eat it keeps you fuller I hope this helps

    Denise822, Have you lost inches. I've lost only 59lbs. in 1 year. But I've lost 4'' in my neck 12" in my waist and 14" in my hips. We must remember this is a life time thing. 1-2lbs. a week is what we should be losing. As long as were not gaining. were doing great!!
