Hello to all and Happy New Year! I am hoping things go better this year. I was banded in mexico last march and initially lost about 16lbs. I have now gained it all back +2lbs. I have had only 1 fill of 4cc and since that time I have p-bing nearly every meal. I have figured out that I am just eating way too much, I am having a BIG problem with head hunger. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get past that? I still want to binge and sometimes I can eat nearly as much as I used too. If anyone has been through this I would like to talk to them. :omg:

Just had my first fill a week ago. They used 4cc. I am p-bing with every meal when I eat solids. I also have a great deal of pain when I eat. Does this mean I am too restricted?:eek:

I'm looking for a fill MD in Kansas City. I was banded in TJ and am reluctant to travel all the time. I want a Dr who uses fluro, any suggestions? Thanks, kurn

Absolutely country for me!!

I am concerned about the post op diet. I was banded on 3/16/07. I did not follow the post op diet to the letter. I advanced my diet too soon and I am wondering about the effects. I do still get full fast and once in a while I have some pain when I eat too much. I have gained back 2lbs and I wonder if it is time for a fill? I am craving some of the foods that have been a life long problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well I am still cheating on my diet and I have not lost any weight in 3 days. I have not gained but I am cheating. I am worried this will affect my band but I seem unable to stop.:hungry:

Hello everyone, I started with a BMI of 51 and my highest weight was 265, I'm short at 5'1" tall. I was banded in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz on 3/16/07. To date I have lost 26lbs. I am struggling with the post op diet. I have cheated constantly. I am now eating solids which I am not supposed to do until 4/4/07. I do not feel like my band has slipped but I wonder about pouch dilitation. Does anyone have any feedback for me? Thanks God for this web site!

:straight Ok, I'm just starting my lapband journey. I have already cheated on the post-op diet. I am still loosing but I am now hungry.I do not know if my pouch has stretched or I am just healing. All of my incisions are itching like crazy and I am a little bit worried. I guess I'll just roll with the flow and see what happens.
