Hello Everyone well I was banded Nov 6 08 and it has not been a success :eek: my journey with the lapband is over , my dr has decided to remove and do gastric bypass , I will have this done monday, I am so disappointed that it didnt work on me but I knew the chance of that I am very happy that many of you have done so well :thumbdown:!

Hello Notorious Novembers Well it is almost a yr and I have lost only 30 lbs :frown: i just went in last week to correct my lapband , it had somehow twisted and my port was facing my back instead of forward, I had been throwing up everything I ate, I had 10 cc and now I am at 5cc so which means I can eat pretty much anything. If the lapband dosent continue to work we are going to go through the bypass route, we will see what happens . I want to say congrats to all of ya ladies that have lost weight! :eek:

Hello Everyone I am so glad alot of you are doing so good :party: yay on all the weightloss!! I got a fill 2 weeks ago and it is up to 11cc in my 14cc band, I think they hit the sweet spot :thumbup: ! I am down 30 lbs , my goal for 4th of July is to be 199!! I havent seen that number in a long time! We went camping this weekend and guess what I did?! I hiked up a mountain without puffing !! I am so excited :tt2: I am going to try to be more active on here !! Also I have lost some weight but I wear the same size is that weird??

Congrats that is so awesome!

Hi All Congrats on all the weightloss ! I have just gone in for my 2nd fill and found out I have a 14 cc band , does anyone else have a 14 one? I feel more restriction with this 2nd fill he filled it up to 8cc , hopefully I lose some lbs before the next appt !

Congrats :biggrin:!

I havent been on here in Forever bcz I was really frustrated , I still have NOT gotten a fill ! I have another appt this thursday and informing my doc that I my hunger is increasing ! Am I the only one that hasnt gotten a fill yet?? I am so jealous of everyone losing so much weight :biggrin: oh well i will slowly get there! I am still happy with my band though !

Dont feel discouraged ! I got banded in November and I have lost the same amount you have , no fills yet. You are doing great in the amount of weight you hav lost so far

Wow awesome job!!! :thumbup:

I am getting a tummy tuck and a boob job, I have always been fat and NO BOOBS how is that possible!

Omg all of ya guys are on your 2nd fill! I am barley going to get my first and I cant wait ! I am always hungry but I havent ate nothing that I shouldnt eat , which is more will power then I had before! I am glad all my novembers are doing good!

Hi All , I dont get my first fill until Jan 15, I havent lost a lot of weight at all :wink_smile: I have been really sick for the past week with the flu with all the coughing my stomach has been cramping , I dont really know if to much coughing will make my band slip. Also I had stopped feeling my band but I can feel it again and when i pass my hand through my side i can feel the port , is that normal?

Thats great congrats!! :smile2:

Congrats :thumbup:!

I am exactly the same way, i get worried that i might eat to much but i just eat a small amount

When i first came on i was comparing tickers to much seeing how much weight i should be at after the surgery but now i dont really pay much attn , my ticker is the day of the surgery until today

i am glad you are ok! Omg that is so scary :Dancing_sorry: I would of been freaking out

Thanks brad for the information and you are right about the willpower i cant lose it! Congrats on the 40 lb weightloss!

I got banded on Nov 6 these past two days I havent felt full like everyone else has with Water, I am not restricted yet but I am getting worried am I supposed to be getting extra full or is it normal? I am sticking by doctors orders and i am on soft mushies now , i think i have been reading to many bad lapband experience's and being to much of a worry wart

thank you so much for your reply ! I appreciate it .

Am I the only one that dosent get full with the water? I have no restriction but I still only take a few sips , I think i am getting worried bcz everyone on here is getting so full so fast !

That is awesome congrats to him and you :thumbup:

Hey everyone I am back at work today from the surgery on thursday. I was dying last night of hunger pains I ate a little bit of Jello but it didnt help uhhh ;( Hopefully work will go smooth today, i work a desk job so it will easy
