This exact thing happened to me. EXACTLY!! It was shooting up into my throat at night, I couldn't sleep at all. I tried sleeping sitting up in a recliner, that helped a little, but not much. It hurt so bad, I put up with it for way to long, weeks, don't do it. Its only money and it will be so worth it in the end to be able to eat again. I lost weight during that time because I couldn't eat, I had to have all of my 7.75cc taken out and a barium swallow done because I waited so long to go in. They wanted to make sure everything was ok with the band. Everything was ok, I was just too tight. That was in May of 08, I am now back up to 7.25 and doing great. It took about four days after unfill for the hurting and pain in my throat to go away. When you do go in for an unfill, be sure to go liquids for a few days to let your stoma and throat heal.

Lonely here. Very lonely.

Got a lot of miles in tonight....on a mountain trail........going straight up.......4 miles....I am impressed.

Oh, great, hopefully they work out good for you!!! We are having wind advisories here so good thing we are gonna be up in the mountains and trees.

It's been exactly 15 months since I took the plunge and got that little friend that has taken me to places I didn't know were possible. I am now down 104.5 pounds and bike around 130 miles a week. I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought that I would become the person I am today, NEVER!!!! I thought I might lose 50 pounds and I might walk a few miles a week, but never this. I HOPED for this, but as we all know, the many, many diets and disappointments had harden me to not expect this much!!! BUT, lo and behold, here I am in this new body and this new attitude.

i see you on here J, hi, hope your having a great weekend!!

I think we are going mountian bike riding tonight, so not many miles, just hard work!!!

I feel you on the disappointment. Thats how it gets sometimes when my DD goes. She lolligags around and pedals really hard, then stops pedaling for a long time, then she is way behind, then she passes and stops pedaling and then all of a sudden she is done. We are 10 miles from home and she wants to be done. I think when she goes it is just going to have to be a recreational ride, then I won't get disappointed!! Went for the MRI and will hear Monday hopefully.

I am going to do at least 27.8 miles tonight to get to 200 miles or below for my goal this season. Then a couple of more weeks, I should hit goal for myself.

I think the important thing to remember is EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!! What one person can do, another can not do. Find something that you enjoy, I mean really enjoy, and you will stick with it. I started out walking, then biking, then running(well, jogging), hated both walking and running and now I totally bike. I love it with all of my heart and am upset when something gets in my way of doing it, not because I want to exercise, but because I just love getting out there on my bike and riding!!

AND what a great hubby, to go home and come get you!!! Sounds like my hubby, so willing to help you in any way, shape, or form to succeed!! GIve him a big hug and kiss from me!! That is a great man right there!

Good job on the two pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats great. As for the hill, I have a very small bump by my house that I use to call a hill. I had to walk up it when I first started. I haven't walked my bike for a long long time now. I think, try it your hubbys way and see. you might surprise yourself.

That is the most incredible fantastic news I have heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You must be so extremely happy and loving life!

Well, I see this thread is super busy today. Going for my MRI today. Gotta see why I keep getting headaches and I can't hear out of my right ear. Brother, I hate these machines....BUT, I will say, I was almost 300 last time I was in one, so this should be good that way!!! Valium, here I come!!

Can't sleep. Have a headache. Therefore, I am up. Wishing I was sleeping.

LOL...but I have so few miles to go to get to my goal, I would like to go over my goal by 500 or so...that would be awesome. You will do great!!! It is just a little uncomfortable, but not bad...besides you are a tuffy....you ride a bike!

Many more mile challenges coming up HP!!!! Good job, we rock!!

So you are planning on doing around 100 this weekend????? Dang, I gotta get busy and think of what I am going to do..

yeah, birthday is coming up, getting closer to you and J in age!!!!!!!!!! LOL

My house is hot too BG...sucks....want to get central air..but ya know how that goes..

lol...WE posted at the same time..... I thought of you the ENTIRE time....I might not of been thinking good thoughts...but.....Just kidding...I love you!!!!

HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did 38.94 tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What you get???????????????????????????? Hurry post.....you must be out riding still racking up the miles....shooot, maybe I better go back out and do 20 more.....JK

My PCP didn't want me to get a band either. He told me that he had not seen much success with them. He wanted me to go bypass. I didn't. He was very surprised and happy when I went to see him a month ago. He was truly surprised I had lost 100 pounds. I think they tell you what they know. If they have not seen much success with something, they probably won't recommend it to patients. Do what you want to do, its your body and your life.

going for a nice longgggggggggggggggggggggggggg ride, longer than HP hopefully.....we bet a 20 on it.....LOL....

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO getting ready to hit the road here in a bit..............whats everyone else doing??? HP, I was talking to you!!!!!
