Thank you for answering my question that I never asked. I still would like to know how to set up a weight chart or line what ever it is called. I had my surgery in April, because my body was acting like it did not want the band I was in the hospital 3 times because I was not keeping food down. Last month my doctor finally want back in and made adjustment. I am now eating. I received my first fill Sept.4 I thought that my stomach was swelling. Thanks. I am not feeling the restriction that i hope to have after waiting almost five months. I hope that the next one is better.

It has been three months and I am stilling getting sick, food stuck and I have not had a fill yet. Going to the doctors today still will not get a fill. I have to tell her how sick I have been. I chew slowly, I take small bites and must of the time I am heading for the bathroom. Any ideas?

I want to my doctor's yesterday and she is going do one of three choices. Take it out, go in to make sure that it is in the right position, and or take it out and have gastric done. I am going with the second choice. We had done x rays, cat scan I have been in the hospital three times because of needing IV fluids along with other testing. I just hope that this works. I do not hope this works I pray it does. There are some wrist involve. If anyone has been thought what i am going though please let me know. I can keep liquid downs as long as I am not stuck. If I get stuck than I can not even get liquids down. I get stuck at least three times a week if not more. I have not had a fill.

Thanks for the insight on fills. I have had to postpone my first two fills because i keep getting stuck and end up in the hospital needing IV fluids I am losing weight not because of fills but, because I can 't eat.

I get stuck a lot I might need to try standing up to eat. I am eating a lot of soft food. Still waiting for my first fill.

I have been getting stuck a lot. After talking with the doctor I am back on liquids and soft foods. I have not had my first full yet. I was banded in April I should of had my first feel this week but, because I ended up in the hospital last weekend with what I thought was my heart thank God it was not. The doctor put off my first full until the 23rd. I am still having trouble eating without food getting stuck. If it does not get any better I might have to have the band remove.
