How can you tell if you are to tight what are the symptoms ???????

Just a question its been 6 months since my fill I am at 2.7 previously to that I have lost 14 in 2 months then 10 in 2months then 9 next 2 months now I am due back in two months and have lost none I am playing with 2 pounds up and down I have 35 pounds left to lose and it won't budge I don.t know if I should get a little fill or wait a little, before I waited and it to so long to get where I am I am 1 year 2 months and have lost 79 pounds I am so bent on getting down to a normal weight now the scales will not budge any advice.

i need toose 30-35 more

Just have to tell a story I had my port repaired and the medical student assisted the surgeon (stupidly said something about the needle I was under sedation but awake) he goes oh my God that needle is so big imagine that thing going in You. then the surgeon says to the anestheisiologist is she awake I closed my eyes she says no. I wassss awake and pissed lesson learned people talk people make comments it is a large needle don't why they need it so big either but thats what they use it doesn't hurt though until they can't find the port then they poke around aimlessley.

I do not have a big abdomen that was always my smallest part I have a pear shaped body huge tree trunk legs (one shape from thigh to calf) and a wide rear end and floppy upper arms that hang like (bat wings) anyways after I reach goal weight I wanted to know what can be done to the extra on my thighs and upper arms. alot of people always get tt but that is not my problem.

yes its simple but it does require reopening of the port site and more anesthesia just a little bit of a pain

From Holden Ma banded June 2005 from umass worcester dr. Czernicach overalll pleased lots of work though just hoping to keep the weight off hello to all ma bandsters

The doctor or a nurse practitioner put a pillow behind my back I arch over it and they use a large needle and inject the fluid I personally like the surgeon better he doesn't bruise me but you get who you get. Its easy and quick unless your port flipps like mine did a year ago.

I was alot skinnier when I got married I gained like 100 pounds since my wedding so I am at my weight I was when I got married now so mine fits perfect but for a long time I never wore it I have lost weight many times in 14 years and I always judged it if I could get my ring off I was doing good for awhile it wouldn't budge and I had to wear it so tight It left permanent marks now I can take it off and on.

Well I am really excited I just cleaned out my whole closet and gave the big clothes to my sister in law who gave clothes to me which were to small at the time for me. well anyways I had a whole pile of clothes that didn't fit me that were small that I kept for someday and the majority of them fit it is like unbelievable I am so happy maybe this is finally becoming a reality I will be a (normal size) anyways just wanted to share this with you guys thanks.

My friend at work had it and she told us about it and we felt her port then I looked into further she told me who to call and 1 year later I had the band

Just was wondering when is a good time to stop getting fills I am at 2.7 and have restriction but my weight loss varies like last time I lost 14 pounds in 2 months didn't get a fill at my doctors visit now don't seem to be losing the weight this last month I have 4o more to lose and I really want to get down but am afraid to get a fill now I am so tight pb alot took so long to fill restriction like 1 year don't won't to wreck a good thing but don't know if i want to go any tighter than I already am.

For the people out there that have hypothyroidism or some form of it how was it diagnosed and what blood tests were done to discover it. My daughter was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism for short stature and the doctor says it runs in families I believe I had tsh done but not t3 or t4 I always thought something was not right with my metabolism but anyway if any body has experience with this let me know so I know what to tell my doctor I want for blood tests.

My port flipped three months after surgery had to go in again to the or to get it repaired under sedation not general just in twilight zone was kind of mad cuz followed everything to the tee just unlucky fixed it and it has been fine ever since have gotten like 5 fills it is just an inconvience but you have to fix it to get the fills so you are stuck. a necessary evil I guess.

Just wanted to know how many girls experience orgasms everytime they have sex one of my girlfriends told she has never had an orgasm when having sex penetration I would not do it unless I had an orgasm what pleasure is that just curious?????????

Do any of you do this sometimes I vomit after I eat because I still haven't learned to STOP needless to say I eat more after vomit it becomes a vicious cycle and to boot I am not losing weight what do I do. help

iT took like five fills to get to a good spot I have 2.6 in a 4cc band took about a year lost 66 pounds oh well

Did mine under local anesthesia not much pain at all out same day very easy alot easier than the lap band surgery itself youll do fine

I left the same day had it at 10 30 and left at 4ish it took a long time to wake up from anesthesia hated it my family said I was as white as a ghost came home and had a hard time catching my breath anesthesia but all in all felt better couple days later just think I had bad reaaction to anesthisia not the surgery well worth it though

I have a hard time with lettuce sometimes I tolerate it sometime its awful. I wish I could tolerate easier because it is low in calories and I could mix it with the proteins go figure what i lived on pre band to lose weight now I can't even have it.

Just wondering I read a book about lap band and it said the first year is prime for losing weight then it decreases I have been banded for almost a year and not lost all the weight I want to know do I still have another year left I am hopeing so please let me know what you have read and heard scared I want to lose another 50 or so pounds. I made the mistake of not getting a fill for like three months but it turned out I wasn't as tight as I thought because I only lost like 5 pounds for that three months and that was valuable time live and learn. I'm greedy I guess I am glad I lost what I did but I want to finally be at a (normal) weight for height and not always have to think about it let me know what you think thanks.

Just wondering are there any june 2005 bandsters here I want to know how your doing I lost 64 pounds how is everyone else doing thanks
