Hi All ... Been a while since i was here and i was contemplating some Plastic Surgeory in March so i logged to see how it is going ... I also had a plateau for few months and then my port needed to be readjusted but i do not mind that ... I m almost 68 lb below my weight last year ... Had i not done this i would have been claimed diabetic and hypertensive by now ,,, but during this year i stopped my hypertension medication ... I started buying clothes from regular places ... sometimes i go into Large and not XL ( I was XXL in big Shops) i wear sleevless and skirts ... I m happy Where i am ... I m not exercising as much as I should ... For next year I think I should increase exercise and look at the quality of food ... no more fatty food... I could not yet get into my sweet point... i had an unfill few days ag since i started having reflux and i think i m eating a lot now but I will see how it goes in two weeks and go for maybe a smaller fill this time .... I m so happy for everyone ... it makes me feel i m part of a big successfull team and a very motivated one ... Cheers Loulou

Funny enough ... Bread is what helps me eat anything .. i put meat or chicken into a bread and i m able to chew them but alone they get stuck ... I m eating almost everything I used to ... I m not losing fast but I m happy where I am ... I got band 1cc unfilled few days ago and now I m trying hard not to eat sweets and chocolates ... as I can hve higher portions of food... Sometimes I miss have a coke or a miranda but i over come that fast .... Happy where I am ... The year has passed fast ...

Hi ... I got my band a year ago and i lost so far around 31 kilo (68 pounds). I went for consultation for PS in order to do it in 6 month, Tummy tuck and breast lift but my lapbanding surgeon thinks it is too soon .... and i should wait another year ... what do you think ? when did you have your PS Thanks Loulou

Hi ... I m planning a Tummy Tuck and a breast lift in early 2010, I went for consultation and the doctor was not encouraged by the scares done by my Lapband surgeory , he can not promise that the wounds of PS will heal without scarring. i m one year past surgeory and still have 2 good scares and 2 healed ones ... did anyone face this ? does anyone know if you have more advanced healing and less scaring procedures in the states than those of us in Middle East.

ok ... i did the same 10 days ago though i m getting regular fills ... so i hit the doctors office and told him that this is not the right thing ... proved i was not getting fills in the ring but God only knows where the saline is going ... now after a flouro fill i m back to 1 or 2 slices max .... good luck in ur journey ....

Hi all ... I m back into the game, it was quite frustrating for the past 2 months, i did not lose a thing , i gained a kilo .. and all the time i was having fake fills ... last saturday i did it under X-ray and i can feel that a fill was done ... i lost more than a kilo since last week and i m now unable to eat much ... Happy that my port is not flipped but i m waiting to see if next month i would be able to get a regular fill .... hope things work out ... I feel left out of the weight loss ... you guys are doing so great ... congrats ....with all the frustration ... i still love my band ....

Hi all .. I m back here ... Well I m having the same problem, my port moved and the doctor thinks it is due to the weight loss and movement.... he kept poking me with fills ( 3 fills on weekly basis ) and i could not feel a difference.... then he decided to do it under flouro ... i could see the port and he says it is not flipped, but once he filled it under Xray , i m back to the weight loss. .. it was frustrating for a 1.5 months to be filled but still eat ... i have my REAL fill a week ago and i m already 3 pounds less ... now my doctor say that he knows the place of the new port. .. i hope it works ok on the next fill .... Good luck to all

Hi all ... Long time since I have been here ... and I m going into the slow loss ... Have not lost more than 5 Lbs since christmas and it is frustrating ... and then the fills are getting too tight ... sometimes I can not keep water in ... but then I m not exercising or watching the quality of food I m getting in ... I m going to soft food which is usually fatty food ... I logged in today to get inspiration from all of you to go back on track ... which you did ... I ll be loggging on more often .... Cheers
