I have just experanced this myself. I was too tight for tso long that My last adjustment was in October and i kept telling my self that everything was fine, well i over aggrevated my stomach so much that i had to get a complete unfill. The doc thought it might be my gall bladder but a week after my unfill i feel fine. I am planning on getting another fill in a few weeks. I think that my stomach needed the time to heel from constantly aggrevation it. All i can say is don't wait till you get to my point visit your doc asap. good luck!!!

I am going to do the detox also sounds like a great idea.

Hi All, I'm in the same boat as you all. I have been addicted to the carbs and suger since thanksgiving. And to make things worse i can't seem to get motivated to work out. I luckly have been able to maintain but need to get back on track to get to my goal. I have lost 92Lbs since april all before thanksgiving. I have olnly 20lbs to get to goal. So i need some motivation and suggestions to get back on track. I told my husband yesterday that if there anything in the pantry or the fridge that he wants he need to remove it and hide it because today I'm cleaning out the pantry and fridge to replace it with all my healthy Snacks thats my start. Hope fully my new puppy will get me out to go walking to get started in exersising again. Well good luck to all!!! Please post and suggestions on how to get me off the suger!!. Also does anyone know how long you need to stop eating suger before the craving end? Good Luck!!!:help:

I TOM arrived and since then i am having pain when ever i eat anything. I am at day 7 and starting to get worried because i am still having the pain. Not sure what to do? Has anyone experience this, should a get a unfil. :help:

I'm sorry, I have been banded for 6 months had my second adjustment done during last Months TOM. I was so tight that they removed a little of my fill, everything was fine for the rest of the month. Then This TOM came and i started having pain again. I am now on day 8 Flow is gone and still having a little bit of pain when ever i eat anything with consistancy. I little bit on my history. I have been very successful with the band so far. I was banded 4/27/07 and as of sunday i have lost 85Lb's.

I can eat about anything the days before my tom, but as soon as tom hits i can't eat anything with out discomfort. I am currently on day 7 and still having a hard time eating. I was so loose before TOM that I actually schedule a adjustment. Know i need to cancel it. I not sure if i need to call my doc about this because i am still haveing pain at day 7 . I'm clueless to the way this band works now.

I am slowly beginning to tell peaple. I had surgury 5 1/2 Months ago and i think about 5 people is how many i told so far. i am frightful that it will come out over thanksgiving dinner or something. When people ask i tell them i am eating less and exercising.

Hi, I have a similar situation as you. I was banded on 4/25 and have lost 30lb's went to the doctor to day and he will not consider a fill until weight loss has slowed down to 1lb a week. At this point i am not very hungrey and it hard to get all my meals in. I ask him what is the % of not requiring a fill the first serverl months and he siad about 5%. If you losing still it is working. Good luck!!

Hi, i know how you feel. I felt the same way for the first 5-8 days. I was told not to drive. I am a very active person who doesn't sit long. So when i was expected to not do much, it drove me nutty. Try taking small walks and if someone can drive you anywhere like a short trip to the store or something. change can will help you feel better. Hope you feel better soon. I am almost 3 weeks out and i am so happy now and feeling much better. My husband has even commented how nice i have been.

Hi Everyone, New to this site. I'm being banded on 4/25/07 I am very excited and very scared. I can't wait to wake up from surgury and see my loving husband and know that everything went well. I am not so scared of the pain so much as i am of everything going well and the procedure being successful. I am very excited to start living a healty life style.
