banded in Lincoln Ne on 11-1-05 Dr. Hung No problems!

I am also a frequent prednisone user. The source of most of my weight gain. I am a terrible asthmatic. When I discussed this with my dr. he said that he might prescribe a short term appetite suppressant during my steroid courses if I wanted. It is definitely worth asking. I have not needed any since the band. If not, keep your head up and work really hard when you are finished with the prednisone. During the course, curb the hunger with as healthy of food as possible and exercise! Good luck to you, I hope this is short term!

That is the question! I am newly banded and filled. When I eat more than I should or something gets stuck, I feel very tight. However, I have not really had the real urge to vomit. I know if I did vomit I would feel better but my Dr. told me to vomit as little as possible. Is it better to make myself vomit at this time or wait it out? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations! I am newly banded as of 11-1-05. It sounds like you are doing great and quite an inspiration for the rest of us. Keep up the good work!

I am finished with my Thanksgiving and I feel like such a loser! And not in a good way. I feel like I completely over ate. I was banded on 11-1-05 and I am yet to have my first fill. I feel like I could still eat as much as I did before. (I didnt eat as much but definitely more than half a cup!) Have I ruined everything, or is there still hope? Hopefullythin

Is it possible to have another band placed after the erosion to the stomach has healed?

I was banded on Nov. 1, 2005. Just in time for the holidays!!
