REMEMBER the band is a TOOL and you do have to work at it!!!! I do.. We all like to eat and Ido have to be careful. It has started to help my PCOS and I have started to ger reg pds.!!!!!! I thinnk you need to see a doctor and hve you blood checked and you HBP and fluid checked. you may need a fluid pill. that would help to!

yes be happy but try and do the rules! It will help! My doctor would have had a fit.... But slow is better but I think you couls step it up a bit! BUT b happy 30 off is 30 off!

Hi, sorry your having such a bitch of a time! Well I was at a support group meeting in May. The one guy there had a 10 cc banc put on almost a year ago. In April he had to have it replaced due to a leak. Not sure if it was the band or line. BUT the Dr. took him in and put a newer band on. I heard them say that some of the FIRST bands used had a few problems with leaks. SOOOO yes most def go to the company that made the band... They should have to cover all your $$$ due to their band defect. This man was one of the first people in this area to be banded. Altoona, Pa. Dr. Newlen said the new bands are better. Don't know if this helps but thought I would give you a shout! hang in there and just try and stick to your diet.... You don't want your liver to get large eating fatty foods.... you going to have to go back to surgery and a small liver gives the doctor more room to work! take care!

that sounds odd! I have not had shrimp yet! But thought it would be a good thing!!!!! I'll let you know when I do!!!! did you really chew it up? I mean really chew??? How did you cook it?

OH yeah I was banded 6/12/08 after I got out of the hospital the next few days were ok but them. DEPRESSED! I was tearing up and feeling like I was a wet dish rag! I had mentioned it to my doctor and he said it happens!!! getting used to CHANGE and losing your old eating habits.... You feel like something is missing! YEAH FOOD! well that wha he said then it made a little more sense to me! I try to keep busy. That seem to help

if you hurt yourself you would have FELT it right away!!! I was banded on 6/12/08.... I surprized the Dr.Peper did not give you bad pain! I think your fine! they onlt fill your band with 1cc in it. I know I felt like eating after the surgery. BUT some jello and broth and I was stuffed! I know sometimes you forget..... Really be carefull about chewing your food!!!! I have to keep it in my mind all the time!!!! I was at a support group meeting one time before I got the band and I heard theis lady say she had pizza when she went home!! Now i think that is NUTZ just re- group and at leat the bread was toasted! you know that white bread is not good on the band!!!
