Wow sorry that happened to you. Although i cant offer any advice i am interested in knowing more about this. What about the fill caused the infection? Im sure your dr is very knowledgeable but im from MA and we have " wound clinics" i would look into that they have staff who know how to properly and effectively deal with open wounds. Best of luck to you and I look forward to reading about your updates and progress take care.

congrats!!! way to go

i have trouble with watermelon! But not the kind you have watermelon gets stuck when i eat it. Kind of weird since watermelon dessolves into "water" i have to chew it til i cant chew it anymore.

Try to include him as much as you both are comfortable with. Having this procedure done is a life saver and if you feel its right for you then go ahead with it. I would suggest you do your research on every possible issue he might have with it and when you sit down and have a heart to heart conversation with him about this subject. Your husband seeing that you have done your research and that this is indeed something you have given plenty of actual thought it might just change his mind! Having support from the people closest to you i believe is VERY important. Especially on the days where you want to "give up" and are frustrated.

Sorry forgot to mention 3 months after my first fill in 2 years i am 3.5 lbs away from pre baby weight my lowest after surgery its a long hard road and ive worked my butt off but it can be done. Just have to find what works for you and stick to it.

You have certainly been threw alot. After having my surgery i became pregnant and although i had lost only 40 pounds it was a huge deal to me by the end of my pregnancy igained 35 of the 40 i had lost. The only way i got over this was to start over new. I went back to basics as if i had just had surgery went back to my dr and had a fill. I was eating all the wrong things, eating and drinking during meals and certainly not working out! You have a band thats a great tool one of the best things about your band is that u can indeed start over. Take it small steps at a time be mindful of what ur eating and how and how much. I know how hard it is to try to get house work done and take care of urself and ur children and family. I do my work out at home when my daughter is taking her afternoon nap. You must take care of yourself before u can be able to take care of anyone else. Good luck to you.

Congrats on your surgery date!!!

Thats awsome it only gets better after this! Good Luck to you take care of yourself and ur band and enjoy the ride!

Had surgery July of 09 had my first fill 6 weeks after surgery 2CCs minimal restriction Another 2CCs added a bit more restriction April 2012 1.5 CCs More of a restriction and may 2012 .25ccs major restriction. I currently have 5.75CCs in my band and am doing alright with restriction but i notice as time passes its like i lose that severe restriction feeling to more of an "ok" restriction i wonder if any one has that feeling i discribed or if its just me?!

i do the xbox kinect game the biggest loser and its a combo of yoga, circuit training, and box fit training.I do it 6 days a week for an hour. Sometimes i take walks in the evening as well. Every one is different try different things and see what you like and works for you!

Byetta i believe is an injectable medication for diabetes!

Best of luck to you and your husband!! Sending well wishes your way.

My NO LIST. soda breads no dry or doughy items salads pineapple porkchops steaks bacon Dry chicken These things i tend to stay away from not worth the pain from a stuck episode!!

My stuck feeling consists of pressure in my chest alot of burping cant really talk and sometimes i have a little trouble breathing. Feels better when it decides to go down or come up if you know what i mean. Usually a stuck espisode is caused by oneself. Every time i get stuck its because i eat to fast or dont chew enough! Lately i have been precutting my meats to itty bitty pieces and it makes it easier to chew well in my mouth. Pretend you are feeding an infant so they wont choke where you are the infant!

Mines isnt working on my computer!! I get on the website not signed in and it looks normal when i sign in with my username and password it doesnt look the same. Cant acess the chatrooms and the page just looks awful!!

Yes! theres some days that i miss certain foods that i use to be able to eat that now i cant eat because they get stuck. As you progress further in your journey you will kind of get a feel for what you can and cant tolerate. Honestly im glad i cant eat bread and other high carb products after all they are what helped make me over weight! you do feel like you suffer a great deal of loss once you start getting filled and not feeling so hungry it will pass best of luck to you and just try to keep doing what your doing.

Awsome and congrats!!

Congrats and keep up the great work!!!
