ive had my band for almost 3 months and i am going in for my 3rd fill i keep reading about slime and pbing on here but i have no clue what it is

hi im on my second marriage and its great ...but my first marriage was just what you guys are describing ... and it sucked im not telling anyonw what to do but I left him and this was way before my band .. and i remarried way before my band ... what happened was my mother looked me in the eye and said I love you but your self esteem is in the potty ..you believe you wont find someone else you think you have as good as your able to get and your wrong no one deserves to be treated like a peice of furniture and lifes way to short. I had 2 kids with my first marriage and I can promise you they are doing fine and they are happier now than ever ..oh BTW I found out he was cheating on my the entire marraige ( after i divorced him) and I would have bet my life and my kids lifves he never would have done that ... I guess what I'm saying is stop hiding out from life .. thats what happened to me i was depressed and scared and hiding .. I just had to hold my nose and jump back into life again and its great .. DONT SETTLE GIRLS IT WASTES YRS OF YOUR LIFE

Hi I'm Danie I started at 284 pounds I'm 5'2 with a small frame and my BMI was over 50. I had the band done April 10th and as of june 4th ( my second fill) i had lost 40 pounds (244) and went from a size 28 to a size 22 with room. I have to admit I have started exercising because I want this weight off more than anything...I was never over weight I was a cheerleader and I was in pagents all my life ..I had 5 kids and BAMMMMMMMMM ...I turned into the side of a barn and the funny thing is I didnt really realize it ..How the heck does that happen??? lol NEway what i do to exercise since i have all these kids is I go to the middle school track about 6 30 pm and let the kids play on the play ground or race me around the track and i just slowly walk I figure slow is better than not at all. Plus doing it this way helps keep my children from getting in the same situation as we all benifit from it.

I always drank when i ate but i just drink before now and if my mouth is dry i take a very tiny amount of water and swish it in my mouth it hasnt hurt me yet just dont take anything more than what wets your mouth and i think youll be ok also after awhile of having the band you can pretty much "feel" when its ok to drink after eating you can feel the food go down

what doctor are you using? your not suppose to drink anything for 1 & 1/2 hours after eating .... but ive had a tight fill and it lossens up after about a week just get some gas x the anti acid medicines dont work with the fill because the band is tight the gas cant escape easy thats why you have pain and can just drink a few sips

i know i love mine
