good job and love your bsnd

It will come with more fills and you get into the zone...most of the head hunger will go away with them but not all...the brain has had yrs of eating this is a shock to it and tskes time to retrain...find out when you can get snother fill most people fine that if their band is just over half full they find the zone 6.5 cc in a 10cc band was my zone and a very common place to be .

I know just how u feel. I recently got under 200 to 199 and was so thrilled hadn't been there in over 30 yrs. the next day and for the following wk I was 203 I was sad then I saw the "1" again yesterday only to have it gone today..Yes I know its water but I thought I would never see the "2" again...well I know it will get there very soon I must just stay no track and change my gym choices or up my cals a bit something to get my mataboloism excited again. We have all been there or are there so go ahead and vent we all need to we are here for ya.

my doctor will do it evey 2 if you need call

what would u do if you didn't have the band? probsbly call your doctor please do that

lol think we all learned that the hard way and you will need to re-learn it as time goes on...we are with you.

wow that is great good for you....London briches falling down is the best feeling

two weeks because I kept asking the doctors then I called the insurance company and they let me know I was approved and the paperwork would be going out the next day. Call everyone connected to this weekly they will soon get on it good luck

I see it with your ticker of weight loss How did u get Alex to respone? ask him to put a spell check on please I really need that help

at least call I have found b12 vituims work very well for headache and I am just going to start taking them daily from no on. I get one daily let us know what the doctor says

your doctors office shoudl be able to tell you as well as the insurance company...

genie bra is comfy

why is it always the fault of the band? This could be anything and serious you need to see the doctor I know u said not insurance but we aren't doctors and cant tell you what to do. Do liquids for a few dsys while you set up and appointment with the doctors.

perfect Missy I know you would have the picture

very common I switch around but M.O.M. works great with no cramps...

call the doctor I could get one every 2 wks if I needed.

never heard that either after 5 mos out I will sip if I am stuck and wait 30 mintues after to have something.

when they put the band the opening to the stomach it creates a pouch right above it to cause the nerves ending to your brain that you are full. usally we fill our stomach up from the bottom and we can eat a lot before the nerves are touched and told the brain u have eaten. Now we are talking to the brain with the first bit that we already full which cause us to feel satisfied on a very small amount of food. At least that is my understanding. Often they have a picture of it our here,i am sure some will send it to you.

the band isn't for everyone. like everything else it takes work I would think that if you could have done this on your own you would have lost weight anyway. The band isn't preventing you from losing only you can do that and it cant mske you lose the weight only you can do that also. Maybe you should think about if you are ready and really want to loss right now. Its not always the right time emotionally to do something this big. No matter what system you choose it will take the same amount of work and change of eating habits...this is not easy and I am praying that you get some peace.

It makes sence that you would loss fat everywhere including around the banded area and a fill would bring you back to the restriction needed to contuine. I got confused with missy comment , it will be interesting to hear what everyone has been told.

probsbly dehydrated drink more water I know its hard to do in the early days but make a real effort to increase it.

lol I hear ya

u wont Its a whole stronger then that

every morning I don't want to miss the one day it does down. every doctor and weight loss plan will tell you once a week for the best results. I mark it daiy on my calendar so I know how my body works ...you need to do what makes you feel the best.
