About three months ago I had a miscarriage after a ivf pregnancy. Since then my Lapland has become soooo tight. I was at a good place with my band. I was able to gain or lose weight. In the last 3 months I lost 33lbs. I weigh now 187. Im greatful for the weightloss but its torture. Anyone have experience with this? Can I still get back to myhappy place without touching the band?

Hi all, haven't posted in ages, but I'm back now. My band is giving me issues. Every month when I get my period my band gets so tight, and after waiting for an entire week only sipping loosing 12 pounds I go to dr for unfil. I never get a chance to tighten cuz I get my period the same thing happens.but when I unfill I gain all the lost weight back. Anyways I switched Dr's, and decided I'll tighten slow and steady. Really be on top of the game. So the Rn decides to see how much Fluid I have in my band I thought I have 8 cc she says 6.6. So I told her to tighten me .4. I go out of the room drink Water but no it won't go down so it go back she loosens .2 and I didn't drink I thought all is well. I get home and I can't eat or drink. I figured they did a lot of tampering so there's probably lots of swelling. It's ok I'll handle it. But at night I was extremely nauseous and kept on throwing up saliva. I decided I'm going back to dr. As long as I don't throw up I don't care. but I was miserable all night and from all the throwing up it hurts between my breast. I went back to dr today she unfilled .2. I wasn't happy I couldn't drink water so she took out another .2. She asked what the Rn did yesterday. She said Rn was wrong cuz if she pulls out all fluid to see how much you have then there's no adjustment done that day. Anyways I am able to drink now but the pain between my breast is really hurting, and if a hiccup ouch! If I stay on liquids will it get better or does that mean something is wrong? Plse help! Thanx!

Hi all, You gotta help me. I have lost 90lbs so far and still going. I exercise almost every day for an hour. I have recently realized that my tailbone is sticking out and it hurts to sit, and that my sex hole became very small, tight. Does that make sense? Anyone else has this?

Hi all, I went on vacation 2 weeks ago and before I left I had an unfill of 2ccs. I was very tight. Now (after the unfill) Im at 6.6 but I can eat everything and already gained back 15lbs. im going back for a tightening in 3 weeks, but I want to diet meanwhile. Any help? I know how to diet but I cant.

I have sort of a kind of pressure right by my throat. I think it might be me esophogus or the part that connects the esophogus. I feel good so I dont think its an infection. I think it has to do with the band this feeling goes and comes. Anyone know what Im talking about? Help! Im really scared.

I started cooking myself squash every day. I take a can of tomatoe juice add some water and splenda. Peel the squash and cook. It comes out so sweet and soft and I never have a problem with it going down.

I am from williamsburg. The truth is my dh is dying to come. If I dont find a babysitter he will stay home.

I am iyh planning to go..... Where are you from?

Other than walking I dont do any excersize. I see when I loose ten lbs I will see a tad difference on my stomach. I guess it will come off eventually.

luvliquid replied to Mommy0105's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I had surgery with dr Kurian on September 08. She was the best. So nice. I love to go in for a fill cuz I love to talk to her. ANy questions ask me........ -
I hadnt had a tightening in about 4 months. Im currently about 8 tight. I felt very tight in the beginning. But now I can eat much more and wake up starved. Is this normal? Does it mean I can use another tightening? I havent lost weight in about 2 weeks cuz I eat so much... TIA
-
I sure know where your coming from. I suffer from anxiaty too. The main thing to remember if you have another attack is to do deep breathing. Breath in hold your breath and breath out........ I hope everything straightens out and you live peacfully.

What to eat/not eat before a fill?
luvliquid replied to aspenAvery's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I never got instruction either. What not to eat before a fill. I once had eggplant a night before a fill boy did I have trouble the next day. I learned the hard way...... -
Sudden restriction 3 weeks after a fill?
luvliquid replied to ohjuly7878's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Usually when I get a sudden restriction its about 2-3 days before I get my period. 3 days after period it goes away..... -
Thank you! Wishing you a happy pesach too! I hope we will manage with the food... I will deffinitly enjoy my new clothing........

GDF18 I dont know why you can not eat matzah. My dr says challah you cant eat but matzah if you chew well you can. I eat every shabbos at the seudah between 1/4 to 1/2 a matzah. Matzah is something that crushes when you chew it so I dont see the problem.
-
Hi AIT First of all Good Luck with the surgery. If all goes well its a breeze. The first two weeks after surgery youre on liquids and mushy. Then you can eat whatever. There is usually no restriction. Challah is doughy so that doesnt go down to well but every shabbos I only eat matzah. It chews well and goes down easily. Dont worry. Miriam, I had surgery with Dr Kurian. I went to a support group only once. Now I dont need it. Good Luck with surgery. sim78 I had surgery september and only lost 45lbs. How did you loose so much so fast?
-
What do you mean by stick with the program?
-
Hi Tova. I havent been around either for a while. I was on vacation just got back today. Im also quiet successful now. Im filled till 8. I am banded 5 months and so far lost 45lbs. Anyways, since I dont crave food neither purim or pesach will be a problem for me. Purim I will have my shake in the morning and chicken Soup by the meal. Pesach I will have some matzah and soup, veggies from the soup. You know it feels so good being skinnier that I dont care for food anymore. Since I eat the wrong food cuz its faster to eat I dont loose as much if I would have patience to sit down and eat I would be skinny by now. Good Luck!

Yes my family knows. But dh's doesnt. They live out of town. I just told mil that I lost weight cuz we were talking about diet. And she is coming here next week so I didnt want she should become shocked. In the end I didnt even loose so much so whatever.. . I didnt even have to tell her.
what else?
-
Actually its 4 months. But Im at the same weight for a while now. I weigh now 226 so Id say 100 more to go.... I wanna loose more weight but continue with chocolate. Any idea how?:cursing:
