Exact same thing is going on wiht me. Slimming, sometimes vomiting, meat is a challenge. The bubbling and burping. everything. we have the same story. I don't want any saline removed. I'm just hoping it will get better over time. As I only lost 1/2 a pound last month (no restriction) I have 5 cc's in a 10cc band. I think I'm going to try to stick it out. Remember to chew food to a mush before swallowing and very small bites. I seem to be able to handle Cereal, and Soup only. My desire for comfort food is fading as it makes me vomit and slime. Not worth it. Be sure to take a multi Vitamin. We are not getting the nutrients that our body needs with not being able to eat the meats, etc. Hang in there and good luck. and keep in mind....bikini season we will look awesome!

I went through the same thing. I got 2 more CC's last Monday and I'm FINALLY feeling restriction after 4 months! My dr. said I wasn't that big to begin with so it was going to be a slower process for me. He promised me I'd be down at least 6 lbs by next month. Well, with all the vomiting, sliming and chest pains I should be! I better be! I started at 189 and I'm now 169. I also wanted to be 50 lighter by Christmas but in all reality, I'll be happy to look nice in a bikini by next summer! LOL Hang in there with me. It's not a fast fix it's a tool. We have to make our tool work. Good luck Kellie

My dr told me it was a new type of the LAP BAND. my band holds up to 9cc's. I currently have 3. I go back to the dr. on the 13th and I'm going to ask for another fill. I still don't feel very much restriction. I can't believe you haven't seen the commercials for the Realize Band??? They are all over the TV's here in Alabama.

hi everyone, I'm new to the lapband (I have the Realize Band) and was banded on July 31, 2008. Starting weight was 189 now holding at 170. My Goal for the next month is to break the 170 mark.:tongue2:
