Thanks for the information! How did the EGD go? Hope everything is OK!!!! Thanks, Stacy

May i ask what you mean by aspirating? Because for the last two nights I have been feeling like something was in my throut or maybe just thightness. It's hard to explaine! I do not need to cough or anything just a strang feeling. Could you please explain in more detail? Thanks, Stacy

Sounds pretty normal to me. But I do know it is a kinda weird to finally feel your port. Sounds like you just did alittle to much and made your port sore. It takes a while for the port to heal. I was banded in April 2007 and mine has just now got to the point to were it is not sore all the time. But to be on the safe side I would call the Dr. Hope this makes you feel better!!!!!!!!!! Stacy

Hi crispy2 I have had a pain in my right side mainly but it has hurt on the left a few times. I think it is gas pains because it will go away for a while if I take a GAS-X. But my pain kinda feels like a kidney stone and in the place. But I have had CT to rule that out. I would just tell my Dr.thats what I am going to do!!! Stacy

I had mine done by Dr. Edward Lin at crawford long on April 30th 2007. Dr. Lin is a great Dr! That # is 404-686-8143 Or Emory HealthCare

Call me dumb!!! But what five days is that? Is it your woman friend that visites every month? If so give up the secret on how to loss more. Thanks, Stacy

What did it feel like when you finally got restriction? I mean did you get sick or did you just feel full??? I just need something to go by. Please help I have a 10cc band and I am already up to 6cc and due for another fill on the 19th. My weight loss has pretty much came to a halt. Thanks, Stacy

Thanks for your support. I know I will get there I just get so frustrated! It's all great when the scales are moving but ,when they stop OH boy here comes all the quilt of what am i doing wrong. I just keep remindeing myself that I have lost 40lbs since April 30th 2007. ( AND I HAVE TO GIVE MYSELF A YOU GO GIRL!!! LOL) It all boils down to I just want the scales to move a little faster. Thanks again for you'r support!!!!!! Stacy

Thanks! I do have the big band it is the only one my Dr. uses. So i have 6cc in a 10cc band. So hopfuly I am getting close to my sweet spot. Good look with your refill!!! Thanks, Stacy

Thanks for your reply. I am still losing a little. It just don't seem to be one pound a week. I may go several weeks with no weight loss and then some weeks I will lose 4 or 5 pounds. The scales just keep me real frustrated. So I hope when I go back on the 19th he gives me a little more. This just seems to be a really slow process. But hey I have lost 40 lbs since April 30th 2007. So I guess I really should not complain!!!

I was banded in April 2007. I have had three fills and finally feel retriction after the third. I had 3cc's added first fill had 3 cc's added second fill and did not feel anything. I really think he might of missed on the second one because i felt nothing at all .( Is this possiable?of course they say no because then they would have to do the next one for free!!!LOL)Then I went for the third one and they only could find 3 cc's from the other two fills. ( I really really think he missed!!!!) So he said don't worry it could just be in the tubbing so he added 3 more cc's. So i should have 9cc's but they are only saying i have 6cc's. But finally I have retriction But it is so far from my sweet spot. At least now when i don't chew well i finally feel that something is there. And it hurts like Hell!!! Is this normal ? I don't seem to be looseing weight like I was at the start. Does anyone know anything about this and how your sweet spot should feel? Would someone please help!!!!! I am so frustrated!!!!:help: Thanks, Stacy

I went for a fill on july 25th and had 3ccs added for a total of 6 this was my second fill now i do have the vg 10 so it is the larger of the bands but any how. I also feel as if i can eat more after the fill. So i did call the Dr. today and the nurse just returned my call and she said she would talk to the Dr. on Monday and see if he wants to give me another fill. So i ask her is it true that it can sometimes take a few days to feel the fill and she said that was true in some people But she did also make it very clear not to eat more than i was before because it can lead to damage .So just watch what you are eating. Hope this helps. Your lapband buddy Stacy

Sorry to here you had such a rought time. My fill was quick and pain free. I have a vg 10cc band and they give me 3ccs. stacy
