I have a question for any one: I am experiencing pain in my stomach. I can no longer lay on my side and I have been back on liquids since this begas about 4 days ago. I feel terrible and have a pain in my back too. I'm scared it has slipped, but have no one to consult with. Any advise or suggestions?

I hate Walmart. Everytime I go there because it's on the way home I am reminded of my absolute distain for the smell of the place (it's only 3 months old), the rude people shopping and working there, the fact that no matter how large they build it, it is always overcrowded with only 3 registers open. Please bring back my farm stand, small hardware store, family owned pet shop, and all the other mom and pop places who cared about the customer spending their $. To Walmart my few dollars means nothing. That's why they're products suck and they have no customer service.

I agree on the photo thing. Mine was way back in June and this photo still is a little scarey. I had mine done in Mexico as did several of my friends. So far so good.

Danbo, You look really really good. Congrats!

My buddy and I got banded at the same place south of the border. The week she had hers done there was a 14 year old having it done at the same time. I wondered how that could really affect a kid. It was a miserable experience for me and I'm 33.

Remote control? Tell me more...

I was banded in June. This PB thing happens a lot to me. Sometimes even with water. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm new to this thread. I was diagnosed with under active thyroid when I was 15. Now, I'm 32 and been on so many different brands of medications and dosages I just got sick of it all. That and the fact that I have the fat gene from my whole family seemed like I was never gonna beat it. Last year I was on 3 different meds/dosages and gained 40lbs in the process. So it was a big part of my decision to get the band. I am at 5 weeks with the band and take my current medication regularly. I am happy to say I have lost 26 lbs. at this point and will be starting my excersize routine this week. I hope you all have great success. Underactive Thyroid is so depressing. Now we don't have to look like we have Thyroid problems. :eek:

you can still eat good. Just instead of a whole plate you can enjoy 1 or 2 bites of each flavor.

I get very hungry, but the pain of eating is just not worth it. I found hot tea with a little cream and sweetner will help curb the urge for me at night which is when I get hungry.

I'm so glad to see your post. I'm at 6 or 7 bites and find that sometimes food tastes good. I miss salad. I've been nervous to try it as I still have a little pain when anything is not chewed perfectly.

I was banded 6/21/07. I have a question for fellow June bandits. How is your hunger level and what do you eat at this point? I've never woken up hungry and since the band I wake up starving in the middle of the night!!! This isn't a good thing. Suggestions?
