I had the same problem until I bought at walmart a 6 inch piece of fake fur with velcro attachment that you just slip over the belt and lay where you need it, It works well for me now I just have soft fur on my neck. It is in the automotive department.

It took two weeks after my first fill before I even felt it, but once it kicked in it was very good. Give it time I am sure it will work for you.

In a New York Minute! I think this was the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

1. space mountain in Disney, i waited on the very long line for almost an hour finally got to the top and then found out that I couldn't secure the seat because I was too big! had to do the walk of shame all the way back down. 2. was at my sisters for christmas dinner about two years ago and the dining room was very small not much room anywhere so I was told to sit all the way on the other side by the wall and when I tried to go where I was told I was so big that it pulled the whole table cloth with me and knocked over much of the meal! very embarrasiing and upsetting that I ruined everyones meal. 3. at Seaside Heights New Jersey we were going to eat dinner somewhere on the boardwalk and they gave us a booth and when I went to sit there was no way I fit in the booth and they didn't have chairs anywhere so we had to leave!

I am still here was banded on Nov 9, 05 and have lost a total of 48 so far.:confused:

i found out by accident that for me all I have to do it eat two dates a day and I go like clock work!:confused: Hope that helps.

I have the same problem so I just go get weighed by the dr.office then come home and see the difference is on mine and know that whatever my scale says it is actually 6 lbs less at the doctors office!

I don't feel the finality of it all either because I feel we can have anything so long as we eat within reason and don't gorge on the things that are really not that good for us. If I could never have any chocolate of any kind again I would never make it...

I have lost 32 lbs. Good start if you ask me. I couldn't be happier.

I was banded November 9th 2005 and have lost 42 lbs so far. it is slow but I think worth it. I am Happy:)

I also feel shorter but I don't truly know if I am or not. I did however lose 1/2 inch somewhere in the past year because I was always 5'4" and I am now 5'3 1/2"!

I had surgery on November 9,2005 and have lost 32 lbs since surgery. I am very happy with him, he is a very kind caring doctor and his office is also very pleasant and nice. I am very happy with my choice.

I think it is the best invention since bread! I needed a wheelchair for two of the gentlemen I take care of and was able to get them from someone who no longer needed them. I have donated furniture, clothes old computers etc. I love it.

hey Liberty , thank you very much for the info, I have an appointment tomorrow I will check while I am there I would prefer not to have to travel too far if possible. Thanks again.

I was banded on November 9th and I guess I am a slow loser because I have only lost 19 lbs post op but I lost 17 pre op so that is 36 total but I am doing well and very hopeful. I too am getting a fill On Jan 6. Hopefully the weight loss will speed up. Very happy I chose the Lap Band.

25 minutes on treadmill at top speed I did 1.25 miles B- Protein shake L- 2 iz provolone cheese D- 2 oz chicken,2 oz broccoli S- atkins pnutbutter bar 16 oz Water 16 oz crystal light 32 oz green tea

Since I have gotten my Lap band I seem to be under such extreme stress that sometimes I actually feel Like I am falling apart....I feel like my heart hurts sometimes. I really don't know if it does or does not have anything to do with the lapband itself or not. But there is one difference that makes me think maybe it does. When I didn't have the lap band I ate whenever I was stressed, and of course all the wrong foods! But now that I am banded that was taken away and now I seem to not be able to handle the stress I mean I feel physical pain from stress! I never felt that before. Has anyone out there had a similar experience and if so how do I correct this?Suggestions will be appreciated.

My heart and prayers go out to you. quick and painless recovery wishes coming your way. God Bless

I had the band put on, on November 9th and went back today for my 3 week visit, I have lost 18 lbs so far since banding, thank god I was told I can have puree now I am so tired of protein shakes it is not even funny...but puree is also kind of nasty.I am still vey happy though that I got banded this thing will be my best thing I have ever done for myself.

Heather,am I understandig correctly? You got a fill on oct 10/31 and you felt nothing but then all of a sudden on November 14 you felt restriction from the fill on 10/31????? why does it take so long? I haven't had a fill yet and I feel like I am starving all the time,I need restriction now!

I typed it in on the web and there is a whole lot of info to be had. One woman says she cured it with eating the right foods for her blood type. I am sorry you have this and wish you all the best. I think you can find a lot of information on the web that may be able to help you out. You are in my prayers. God Bless.

I am doing ok I guess, hungry all the time but not eating because I am not supposed to. I also think I am losing too slow, I lost 11 lbs in 5 days but now in 8 days I only lost 3! very sad.

That the vitamins are for the rest of your life but eventually you will not need the protein drinks because you will eat enough to suffice.
