Hang in there and get healthy again, worry about your weight loss after your feeling better. The weight will come off you just will have to wait alittle longer---good luck to you--irish

Hiccups, getting sick and food stuck
irish replied to DORWAGS66's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same problem for 1 week after i got my band tightened--i couldn't even eat 3 teaspoons of oatmeal without vomiting!!! The hiccups were really bad too!! I went back to surgeon and he took 1/2 cc back out and my problem was solved instantly... Good luck.... -
I HAD MY FIRST FILL UNDER FLURO AND IT WAS A LONG DRAWN OUT PROCESS OF GOING TO THE OR. AFTER THAT FILLS WERE DONE IN THE DOCTORS OFFICE AND IT TOOK A WHOLE 5 MINUTES--VERY SIMPLE AND QUICK..GOOD LUCK TO YOU-----IRISH:thumbs_up:

hi sylvia, i'm at a stand still again, i had another 1/2 cc put back in and no restriction at all unless i try to eat bread. i think i'll wait another 2 weeks and go back. i'm at a total of 46 pounds and it feels great to be in a size 14. of course i still wear my 16's and love all the room in them!!!! i hope your kids adjust okay with the divorce--i know it must be hard on you and them--hang in there!!! how old are they?? my boys are 15 and 11 and keep me running, my husband lives in ohio and comes home every other weekend so i know how it is to be a single parent and its rough!!! i've been doing this for 2 years, unfortunatly this is where his job is and the bills gotta get paid.. talk to you soon...kelley

congrats on your 70 pounds!!! try weight lifting along with your excercising!! i have lost 44 pounds and no flab yet. i think because i go to gym 5 days a week and lift weights to build muscle tone--this has really helped for me----good luck---irish

if the weight is going back on why would you want to be unfilled???? since he took uot 1cc i have not lost a pound in 2 weeks--first it was too retstricted, i couldn't eat and was throwing up eveything i tried, now no restriction and haven't lost a single pound. i guess we just have to find that happy medium!!! good luck to you. i am going to ask that he puts 1/2 cc back in so hopefully i can eat and get that full feeling. its been since 06/20 that i had my surgery and i just haven't found that right fill. i have lost 44 pounds so i am happy about that but i been eating more since he unfilled me......

if you are losing weight i wouldn't worry about it. i had to have saline removed because i to was feeling too much restriction that i could not eat at all and puking everything i tried. it would take me 45 minutes just to eat yogurt and oatmeal wouldn't even go down. good luck to you and if you losing weight continue with that, you don't want to be too restricted...irish

Thanks for the helpful hints, i also pack a hunts sugar free choc pudding foe work when i get hungry, that takes the place of my ice-cream craving. Also, try non fat vanilla yogurt with bananas cut up---yummy snack.. Good luck to you on this wonderful journey. I am 43 pounds lighter after 4 months and feeling great!!!irish

Don't worry if u have your surgery in january you will look great by the summer. I am now 4 mths postop and have lost 43 pounds!!! What a great feeling when people tell you how great you look!!! I actually had to roll the waist of my jeans down to hold them up instead of lying in bed trying to pull the zipper up. I have another 37 pounds to my goal weight of 160, i'm 5'8" so i think that is a realistic weight. Good luck to you and your surgery will be here in no time. I know the anxiuos feeling, i had to wait 6 mths till i finally had mine!!! Hang in there....irish
