keep anti nausea med in your medicine cabinet at allll times!! i have the liquid and tablets just in case!!

ya know...that happened to me not too long ago where i was stuck for hours and then i thought everything was fine. i drank a coffee and then all of a sudden i was in the bathroom again...soo wierd. i couldnt eat anything else until the next day and then it was better. my throat always feels all swollen though so im thinking your throat is all irritated and swollen in there. just try to drink lots of cold fluids to help the swelling and yes if it doesnt go away then call your dr. good luck!

I have i think 8 in a 14 band so far but i think i need a little more?? I can still eat like a big salad with a whole chicken breast on it, or 2 good sized slices of lasagna...so i think i need another fill to be more restricted. I had my surgery in Oct. 08 and ive lost 30 lbs. seems soo slow! especially since the first 20 was from the liquid diet! as you get fills does it seem like you can eat less and less? I can tell each fill makes a difference but then after about 4 weeks i can tell i need another one. any suggestions, comments or advice would be wonderful lol.

The reason we arent supposed to take ibprophen is that it can increase the chance of erosoion of the band into the stomache.

OKKKK ASHLEY...how are things progressing? Im doing good. Ive lost 30 lbs so far and loving my band! Just got an adjustment yesturday to help with my restriction. so far so good!! I hope things are going well for you. Take Care and keep me posted. You can call me anytime with questions!! or come see me!!!
Love Melisa -
Thanks for your nice comment on my pic! I have 7.4 in a 10 band. It took 5 fills before I had really good restriction, but my doc was very conservative about each amount. I started in size 32 and am now finding 18's are getting loose. Don't worry, you'll get there too! Work with the band and it's great!!!

Do you burp more now that you are banded? (non-productive, just air)

i get the hiccups mainly when im wanting to get stuck on something...i actually helps me sometimes but i dont like them. -
I just got my second fill in a 14 band. He only put 1cc this time, bringing me to 6cc in a 14band?? I thot he was going to put in 2cc. He said that this is where most people end up. Weird...because ive been reading that alot of people have more than that.? We will see. Im kinda nervous to eat.

Im wondering if theres a leak. Now that i think about it ...its good that they are doing it under xray...so they can see whats going on. good luck!

THank you sooo much Jodi...i will check it out again. lol -
Hang in there and be patient with yourself. You will get there. It can take alot of tweaking from what ive read to get to your "sweet spot". Id wait for the xray thing..see how things go for another few weeks. You are doing good though. I go for my second fill today which will put me at 7cc in a 14 band. Wish me luck.

That valentines day character is adorable Jodi!! I still havent been able to get my Ticker to work?? I dont get it. I use the compuer all the time and i cant get it to work? lol -
ok yeah i have a 14 band and i go for my second fill tomorrow so i will have a total of 7 cc in my 14 band. Hopefully that will give me some better restriction than i have. Im glad you are better now. Take it easy and eat slow.
