THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM ACTUALLY THIS SICK SINCE I HAD MY BAND 6 MONTHS AGO TODAY ACTUALLY. I AM QUIT TIGHT SO I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED TO DO ANYTHING SO THAT I CAN TAKE THE PROPER MEDS, I MEAN LAST NIGHT I DID TAKE TYLENOL BUT THOSE WERE SMALL, NOTHING LIKE AN ANTIBIOTIC PILL! ANOTHER THING WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE BAND IF YOU HAVE AN INFECTION? I HEARD YOU HAVE TO GET UNFILLED?? STILL LEARNING THE LAPBAND LIFESTYLE........

THATS WONDERFUL! EVEN WITH MY ALMOST 60 LBS LOST I FEEL GOOD I CAN ONLY IMAGAINE WITH 100!! GOOD JOB. I DO NEED TO GO WORK OUT MORE THOUGH! I'M WITH LANE JANE, PLS DO SHARE MORE OF YOUR SECREST!

Yup! I Had To Do It Too!! And I Feel So Much Better Now. Everything You Described Is What I Felt Too. I Feel Good And Still Have A Good Restriction!

DOWN 54 LBS. SINCE 9/18/2007. Had Slight Unfill 5/5/2008 Now At 4.3! A Little Sad But Now I Can Eat!!!

Thnx, I've Already E-mailed The Nurse. Yeah This Nasal Drip Is Driving Me Crazy!!!

WHAT IS SASHIMI? CAN U ORDER IT AT A SUSHI PLACE??

CHIKIE, BY THE WAY YOU LOOK GREAT! EVEN BEFORE THE TUMMY TUCK. REALLY INSPIRED NOW!!

WELL THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO, BUT WHEN I WENT TO MY LAPBAND DOCTOR, HE SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TO JUST DRINK SOMETHING WARM IN THE MORNINGS AND STAY DRINKING FLUIDS THROUGH OUT THE DAY. NOT WHEN EATING OF COURSE. LIKE TODAY I AM EATING FINE! JUST VERY CAREFULLY AND HAVE NOT EVEN SPIT UP???? THATS WHERE THE CONFUSION IS. AND MOST MORNING I DRINK SMOOTHIE KING OR SLIMFAST SO EVEN DRINKING MY CALORIES TASTES GOOD!

YES! exactly the way I feel right now, but i've gotten used to it because I've been with this fill for almost two months now! I just didn't want to be on vacation and feeling "un~normal" I guess i can put it. Thanks GraceUtah, I thought I was the only one!

I KNOW! BUT I AM TIGHT AND OFTEN SPIT UP AND SOME DAYS I CAN EAT AND SOME DAYS I CAN. THATS THE ONLY REASON WHY I WOULD WANT TO GET UNFILLED.

COOL THANKS! JUST WANTED TO KNOW FOR UPCOMING VACATIONS AHEAD OF TIME, SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING! THANKS.

Hi Elizabeth Here. I Was Banded On Sept 18, 2007 , I've Had 4 Fills And @ 4.5 In A 10cc Band. I Am @ 220lbs. I Was Size 20 In Jeans And Now Where Comfortable 16 And 14 If I Wanna Go Tight!

I Was Banded From Dr. Wilkenfeld. Staff Is Great And He Is Very Knowledgable About Lab-band.

I Too Feel That Way, I Had A Fill About A Month Ago And Everytime I Eat I Have To Spit Up! It Is So Annoying!! I Can Rarly Eat Solid Food And It's Weird Cause Some Days I Can Eat Meats, Next Day I Can't! Am I Too Tight?? AND I GET HEADACHES WHEN I EAT, DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I Am Having The Same Issues. I Got A Fill About A Month Ago, And At First Everything Seemed Ok But As The Days Went By The Food I Was Trying To Eat Was Not Going Down Right. One Week After The Fill I Was Eating Salads Just Fine Then The Following Week I Wasn't? I Mean It Is Weird, Some Days I Can Eat, Some Times I Can't. Does That Mean I Am Too Tight? I Spit Up Alot And Rarely Really Vomit But Spit Up All The Time. What Does That Mean. I Go To The Docotr On Wed. I Hope He Doesn't Get Mad At Me For Not Letting Him Know Sooner!

OKAY, THAT SOUNDS COOL. SO WHEN DID YOU HAVE UR SURGERY? AND WHAT DOCTOR?:eek:

THANKS FOR UR HELP:)
