hello. having your band too tight will not make you lose weight. your asophagus will just get swollen causing you to throw up. you can hurt your band by waiting too long to get loosened up. im sure your doctor(even though hes in italy) will have an emergency line. even going to the ER they can loosen you there.

let us know how it goes. i am wanting to get pregnant but it wont be a year till november!!

sadly i can never get responses to my questions. tons of people look at my questions but no answers. whats the secret?? ive seen several posts that will have hundreds of repsonses. whats the deal????

after delivery has anyone had problems with their band?? Like slippage, trouble relosing weight, etc? just wondering. am considering pregnancy but dont want to ruin the $15,000 band i paid for out of my own pocket on november 2007. any suggestions? my doc says wait 2 years but that is so far away!!!!

hi. this is not a smart comment but instead of buying 3 or 4 dollar pregnancy test wouldnt it be wiser to invest 6 or 7 dollars on 1 name brand test? just a thought. that way you wouldnt have to question the positive.

i am choosing to delete this cause i want to

i feel the same way. i have 1 daughter and my husband wants more. i was banded in november 07. i feel like i should be able to have some input since its my body. i dont think i am going to risk it. yes more kids would be nice. but i paid 14,000.00 for this surgery(out of my own pocket) and i dont want to blow it by getting pregnant. ya know. you do whats best for you. i think i might stick with being happy with the 1

...after being banded did you get pregnant? im pretty sure my doctore told me to wait a year. i was just curious what your doctors said and what you did. thanks.

i just buy the disposable baby spoons at walmart. they are rainbow colored. i dont throw them away unless i have to.

hi. i am looking for a weightloss buddy to email back and forth to keep me motivated. i still have 40 lbs till my goal and would love to be able to check in with someone regularly. if interested post and i will give you my email address. :teeth_smile:

ive never had this problem. knock on wood... im usually tender after a normal fill. i had to go in a few days ago to get some unfilling and that really hurt. it was only a 2 day gap between the fill and unfill. i was really sore from the extra poking. is the needle larger than a normal needle or what? normally shots dont bother me but that thing feels like an epidural needle.

your numbers got messed up and says 2st 3lb since may 31st. what was it supposed to say? i was banded november 2007 and have lost 48 pounds. i started as 245 on a 5'8 frame. my goal is 180. i know too tight is not good because it can wear on your band(my doc told me yesterday).

thanks! I went this afternoon and got some taken out. much better!!
