The Bad, still hungry at times The Good, cannot pig out Lost 30lbs and can lift myself out of a bathtub no Brad Pitt yet was heading to john candy territory now heading in the correct direction Take it easy walk walk walk and chew chew chew

you cant pig out with a lap band. Get your fills and find your sweet spot if you throw up a lot unfill and proceed filled band With a properly filled band you can not pig out push the keyboard away and go for a walk Preferably not past any fast food joints(the enemy) Good Luck and God Bless ge

very informative good luck

kURIAN WAS AND IS GREAT AND VERY UNDERSTANDING

The surgery was the easy part

They give poor phone but my experiences with dr. Kurian were fine. Sat followups were very civilized at other times the office is a zoo much too small

call the NYU COORDINATER THEY WILL TELL YOU. LET THEM BE THE LEADER OF THE BAND

Count me in also, banded 3/08 The good news blood sugar well controlled as well as blood pressure and cholesterol. lost 20of 55 lbs feel great after 3 fills restriction seems just right if i remember to eat slowly and chew chew chew still hunger is an issue I am dealing with Glad there is a band, satisfied that I did it any snacking tips???

what medical school did you go to genius???

Real med school maybe Ill remove a real tumor some day and you can argue about frogs or even snakes or ,lizards good grief!!!

one of you has to shut the f up FROGS?? PICK ANOTHER TOPIC!!! up

or poor spelling???

how did you get suspended??, poor grammar??

chew chew and then chew some more or dont eat at all if you eat you must chew alot not a drag part of the banded life small price to pay

Mcaine is bush light with a temper being controlled by medication he is a very serious threat to America He and Cindy dearest have led seperate lives for their entire marrage Its very dangewrous bullshit Pallin is a big believer of witchcraft. details will emerge they always do.

Out of control blood sugar Diabetes under control at this point.Not a weight issue

move on make some new friends!!!

when i went for my2nd fill my feeling was that i needed more restriction because my hunger was ever present I couldn't keep anything down for 4 dayslost 7 lbs . However my quality of life was terrible saw the dr on thurs and removed some liquid from the band Felt great for 3 weeks need to see dr again soon but I .am fearful to go. can anyone relate to this??My feeling is to wait 3 months to evaluate the situation What do you think??:smile::mad2:

Blew off some steam Things are much better after last fill (saline adjustment).Sorry

get the fill and evaluate less computer more treadmill

makes plenty of sense feel well soon
