i have been where you are.... i think maybe you should go for an unfil... as for the hiccups and burping... that comes with the band. i believe everyone experiences that. good luck!! :tongue:

i could careless if prositiution was legalized or not. I dont exactly understand why it's illegal anway... if youre 18+, and a competent adult, its THEIR decision.

Ok, so.... i know i havent posted on here in a while... but i do have a very important question, but first i should explain my rare situation. i was banded over SIX MONTHS ago, however, it took until my last month, when i had to get an xray because i didnt have ANY restriction at all. Up until the xray, i was able to eat anything, and fast as well. so my doctor said hes not sure why i havent had restrtiction, he said his best guest was i needed more than the average person (everyones diffrent) so according to my doctor, i have 4.25cc in 4cc band!!:confused_smile: when i did the xray he put in 4cc, and i had felt comfortable with that restriction, but he insisted i go to a 4.25.... so i did... and now my band is hella tight! i can sometimes barely get down water, and im only eating maybe ONE meal a day. sometimes soups dont even get down or water... and now im starting to get nervous because i'm throwing up alot, almost 3x a day when ever i try to eat. so... could someone please give their advice?? i'm at the point where im going to call my doctor and tell him i need an unfil... Do you think maybe i should wait until my next fill and give it some more time...?? yes im loosing weight faster, but i KNOW its not worth me risking band slippage... but thank you for reading my post!! you guys are GREAT and helpful!!:thumbup:

thank you everyone who responded back to my question!!! today i went for an unfil... he said he took out .15, so now im at a 4.1 in a 4cc band.... so far its soo much better!! :shades_smile: thanks again everyone!

OMG i PB just about everyday also.... well to sum it up, i basically BP more often then i dont :cursing:

i am on my 6TH FILL and still have not had any restriction... i can still eat anything, chew fast, and everything goes down with a problem. as a matter of fact, i have NEVER once had anything get caught. my doctor says hes not really worried about me not having restriction because i seem to be loosing weight a normal paste... im getting SOOO FRUSTRATED NOW THOUGH! so for my next fill, he says i'm going to need to get an xray of my band to see why i dont have any restriction... good luck! but does anyone else have any advice for me? i mean is this normal?? my 6th, and nothing yet?

i can sort of relate... i'm on my 6th fill and yet to feel any type of restriction! im starting to get hopeless... even though i've list 20+lbs, i am still able to eat anything, and lots of it

its tottaly normal to feel depressed during the first stage!! i know i was! my whole family noticed, and my mom was nervous... but look on the bright side, the WILL come when your able to eat!! just remember, it WILL happen... just be patient :party: and sry about your reactions to the medicine... hope u feel better!

NO!! i had no pre-op diet yay!! everyone's liver is a diffrent size, theres really no point to be on a pre-op diet, unless its to make your surgery sucessfull

i told everyone, and their mother! (lol) even strangers at the store. However, i kind of wished i hadn't, because then you get those annoying questions, people trying to talk you out of it, and also the negativity!! but i'm glad i shared my story.

i still use a straw sometimes. i dont think it matters, as long as you gulp your drink down
