    Yup, we'd all probably weigh the same or more than in Nov.!!!

    Don't be discouraged!! You have had a good loss and I bet you really feel so much better than you did in November!! It will all come off. Everyone loses at their own pace.

    I'm now averaging 1 1/2 pounds a week and can't exercise too much. I'm happy with it because I never have to lose the same pound over again!!!!!!!!!

    Excessive vomiting is thought to be the main cause of band slippage, but I see that person's account was suspended and probably wouldn't care to hear it anyway!

    I have an ice cream cone at least once a week (small!!). At least it's made with milk or cream right? LOL

    Apparently she has never been stuck!!!!!!!!

    Everyone finds out quick enough what they shouldn't eat due to it not going down well for them, and I'm sure most never try it a second time unless they enjoy pain. Ice cream, Cookies, and other junk that shouldn't be eaten, but does go down easy, should be a deterrent enough when one steps on the scale!!

    Some will tell you to wait it out. I would say go back and have just a little bit removed. You are probably really close to where you need to be. It's not good for you or your band to stay too tight.
  9. jms462001
    You spent a whole lot of money like I did. If I were you, I would get evaluated by another band Dr. so that if your Dr. did mess up, you will have some recourse. Best wishes.

    My trip to Africa was fine. I ate and drank. The first flight was close to 4 hours and the 2nd was 12 1/2 hours. I felt no different, ate carefully and had no problems going or coming back.

    I feel for you!!! I lost 3 lbs. in 1 day!!! It's not fun at all when it's too tight. And it's not supposed to be that way and can cause problems. Even if it does loosen up, it probably won't be to the extent it should be!! This weight loss procedure should not be torture!! Good luck to you. I know you will feel a huge relief with just a bit out.

    Why would you want to lose your hair, bruise and chance ruining your health when you could get a tiny amt removed and eat the way the band was intended to let you eat, find your real sweet spot and lose weight in a more healthy way.
  13. jms462001
    Sounds exactly like my last (2nd) fill. I went right away and got just .5 cc removed and it made a big difference and was a huge relief. I continued to lose, but was able to eat like we are supposed to. I do not wish to be too tight and have constant problems and fear of eating. I'd rather take it a bit slower!!
  14. jms462001
    You definitely need to have an unfill as soon as possible and should have done it a long time ago. It is not normal. You may only need a small amount removed to be able to eat the way you should be, but you need to get checked out because vomiting too much can be harmful.
  15. jms462001
    That's what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for not making me feel like a lone loony for going against the no water rule!! It works so well if done properly! But, again, I prefer not to have to do it so I am very careful to avoid incidents!!
  16. jms462001
    Let us know what your surgeon says. I'm glad you had it done. I just hope it's easily remedied.

    New notorious novembers weightloss spreadsheet

    jms462001 replied to sistasassy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Let me explain. I am not so fearful of having it done. My Dr. is aggressive too. 3.5 first fill, 2 I think in 2nd, .5 had to be removed the next day. I have only had 2 fills. My fear is of being too restricted. I am very careful eating, but still occasionally get stuck and when I do it all has to come up and I hate it. I like being a bit loose I guess is what I am saying and have a fear of restriction!!

    jms462001 replied to sistasassy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Me too, size 11 juniors in the jeans I like. Problem is, I need to find a new brand as it seems juniors are all low rise which I do not like!!!!!!!!! I was shocked though. My daughter said, order an 11, I said no and ordered a 13 and ended up having to return them. Isn't it wonderful???? You must be tall like me???

    I think I need to get past my fill fears!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!
  22. jms462001
    Hmmmmm, you are still able to eat more than I usually can and I think I only have about 5cc. I am only losing about 1 1/2 pounds a week now though. But, I can't exercise much. I am a bit scared to get another fill!! Have a great trip! Sounds like you'll do just fine eating.
