How much have you lost July Butterfllies??
BellaPerdente replied to lotzasunshine's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I know exactly what you are going through. I have the same problem. I always wonder why you get tighter with fills making it harder to eat but still get hungry. Where is the sweet spot? I also have to make myself stop eating. -

Thanks so much for the advice. I really think that if I eat smaller bites and put my fork down, I will not pb and you are right. I DO eat things I shouldn't be eating with the band. ex: pasta, rice, etc. I do think I need a small fill so that I will not be as hungry because I do not last more than two hours after I eat. -

Hi all. Congrats to all the great losses the first week of the valentine challenge. I would like to jump in if I can. I would like to lose 12 pounds. I am going to say that I lost 2 pounds this first week. I need some fill advice. I am scheduled to get a fill on Wed. I guess I am scared because of the last experience. I read your post Dee and it made so much sense. I really haven't had a real fill since Sept. I get hungry OFTEN, but I still get stuck alot. I think I am getting stuck because I am eating too fast and the bites are too big. I WANT TO FILL FULL WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF FOOD, not just being tight. I thought the fills were to help you feel full not so tight that you can't eat. Should I get a fill???? -

Hey guys, just wanted to update for the challenge. I know I haven't posted for awhile, but I have been sooo busy. I don't have a week by week record of our christmas challenge but I have lost 18 pounds since we started. I am finally in ONDERLAND:thumbup::thumbup: I don't think I have seen this number for 25 years. I can't believe I only have 10 pounds to lose until I have 100 pounds lost. I could have never done this without this band. I got a fill on Dec. 10 but it went waaay wrong. I was fine until that evening and I couldn't even keep my own saliva down. I was throwing up and had chest pain, I was miserable. I was throwing up so much stomach acid. I finally drove myself to the emergency room and the doctor there was clueless. They finally called my fill doctor and he said to come in his office in the morning to take some out. That was the longest night.:thumbup: The next day after the unfill, I was fine. Dee, I am so happy that you got your old job back. You are the perfect person to take care of those babies!!! Hope everyone has a MERRY Christmas. When does our challenge end? -

"Aunt Flo" makes me sooooo tight. I have to switch to mushies during this time. I think that a fill while she is visiting will makes things rougher....too tight. Some people don't have a problem, but I DO!

Hello- is this the right thing to do?
BellaPerdente replied to mrswad1's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had a huge appetite before surgery and I didn't think this would change my ways of eating, but it does. As long as you don't start "eating around the band", you will do great. I have my bad days of eating things that are not good for me, but I CAN'T eat like I did before. That is the best part of the band. The volume of food is gone forever. So as long as you are committed to eating the right foods and following the band rules, it will work. I love my band and as you can see by my weight loss, IT'S WORKING! -

Just checking in for the weigh in. I lost 5 pounds...yeah! I went yesterday for a fill but the doctor wouldn't give me one. I guess since I have been losing steady, he doesn't think I was ready for a fill. I still feel like I am eating too much and I get hungry faster. I have to wait until 12/17 for my next appt. That will make it 3 months since my last fill. Dee, I can't believe that someone is stealing from your bank account!!! I would be freakin out. Hope it all works out. -

I had three c-sections and this is very similar (pain-wise). the only difference was that I had my hiatel hernia repaired during lapband surgery and it gave me more chest pain. The gas is worse, but you get to rest a lot more without a baby to care for after surgery:laugh: BUT...I got to eat normally after my c-sections. -

Hi all, I am in for the challenge. I am going to try for 25 lbs. I have only 14 pounds to go until I reach ONDERLAND:thumbup: I haven't seen that in a long, long, long time. I go for another fill on Nov. 21. It will be two months since my last one. I still am having a hard time with taking small bites. I seem to eat way to fast and some things go down slow, but I can still eat way to much. I wanna feel full faster NOT get tighter to where I can't eat. Is that possible? Good luck everyone on the challenge! -
Having heartburn...should I get another fill?
BellaPerdente posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My third fill was September 24. I have 5 cc's in a 10 cc band. After the fill, I had a hard time eating. I pb'd and threw up alot. I did not go back for an unfill. It eventually settled down but I still pb alot. I know that my bites are too big and I need to slow down, but now I have been getting heartburn alot. I had my hiatel hernia fixed during surgery?? Is this a sign of a slipped band??? I am due for another fill on Nov. 19. I really want it because even though things get stuck, I am alot more hungry than I used to be. I having been snacking way more than I should. I know my doctor is going to tell me not to get a fill because i have been losing steady but I don't want to be hungry all the time. My old habits are already kicking in again (snacking). It is weird how you can be tight and hungry at the same time???? Any thoughts? -
Just wanting to know if anyone is from the northern panhandle of WV. I am from Wellsburg. I am scheduled to get my surgery on July 17 in Denver. Would enjoy talking to someone local.

Can't keep anything down, but it's been 6 months since my last fill
BellaPerdente replied to MrsCooper's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I too have problems before my cycle. I have trouble eating most foods that normally don't give me trouble. If that is not the problem, I would call your doctor. I have read that the main symptons of a slip, is a sudden change with food getting stuck. -
Who can still eat whatever they want?

You need another fill. You wouldn't believe how much difference even 1 cc will make. -

Lotza: I started using Biotin a couple of months ago and bought Nioxinn shampoo and scalp treatment. I thought that if I got a good "head" start, I would not lose any hair....but guess what?? I am starting to lose hair. So I am not sure how much those things help. Maybe it won't be as severe. My nails aren't so bad though. -

Mini, I was down six this week, so I guess I am confused on my starting weight, however when I add all the weeks together, it totals -29. I don't want to sound petty but every pound counts...right! Check my addition. Dee, it was good to hear from you again. How am I supposed to challenge this bill? Should I wait until they approve a discount for my hardship case or should I call them on it now? -
