Weighed in today and I am up 1.5 lbs and am now 212.5. I don't get it. I am eating a bit better than when I first got my fill but not enough to gain weight. can it be an adjustment to eating a bit more? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I have a question is PB just feeling like some food or drink wants to come up a little or is it just throwing up. I experience (when I forget to chew or eat too fast) the feeling of it coming up but I don't always throw up. What kind of damage can this do? At times I do actually give it up to Ralph but its usually from lack of chewing well. I got my fill 3 weeks ago and it really has made a difference but this week I am able to eat more comfortably but the scale went up 1.5. could this be to the fact that I was consuming so very little after the fill and now my body is adjusting to more realistic meals or is my metabolism so shot that any bit of food makes me gain. By the way, this is a serious question. Aurora

down 1.5 lbs now at 213.5. I happy it's going down but wish it were faster. I can't complain too much, I haven't start exercise yet but this is the first week I will. Wish me luck. Contrats to all.

HI My hard work did it but the fill is now gonna get me past the next hump. I just got back from my fill in MX. Doc gave me 2cc. Boy am I tight. I was on liquids for three days! just started eating again but very small quantities. I've been kinda doing no effort to lose weight and really want to begin making healthy choices and possible some exercise. Thought thought of that is scary. I feel like I can't do much, I am sooooooo out of shape.

Hey, I missed my weigh in this past Monday cuz I was MX getting my first fill. I weighed myself this am and am now 215 YEAHHHHHHHHHHH. I finally past my plateau

Here is the number for OCA hospital´s lap band reps. 18882542032. Good luck

I'm done 1.5 lbs. I find it amazing. I've been eating alot more lately and I think it's time for my first fill. I find I lose more when I eat more, perhaps I was eating too little.

what is pouch dilation? Is it dangerous? what can happen if it occurs? I have been experiences swelling (not all the time) around the port area and it kinda feels like a pain in your side when your walk or run too much. Can this be the reason?

okay guys, I need help. I weighed myself today and I am up 2lbs. to 220.5 I don't get it. I am definately eating alot less than ever before. I am not really hungry though . I was banded 3 1/2 weeks ago. Could it be I am eating too little and my metabolism is slowing down. I am also really tired and feel abit anemic. I am so disappointed I just don't get it. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! you all are so great. It's amazing to see others who have endured and suffered the same torments as myself. I never take photos, I hate them. I always look wayyyyyyyy fatter than I see myself in the mirror. I thought I was nuts. Apparently you all are nuts too (lol) or there's something to this dismorphic disorder. I wonder, what came first for me. the disorder or the fatness?!

what does this mean?

Got on the scale today. I'm down to 218. 12.5 since my banding. This is cool! I haven't lost this much weight in years. Does anyone know when you know you're ready for your first fill?

does anyone experience just plain old burping? I do that alot and sometimes it actually really hurts but I don't spit up anything so I don't know what it is? Any suggestions?
