i decided that if the band wasnt going to do it i would. so i got gym membership and started swimming. yes its emabarassing to be in a swim suit, but i promise nobody is going to say anything! i started swimming 3 - 4 times a week, and walking everyday about 2 miles. i cut the mash potatoes and bread, and started making myself soups, with veggies, lentils, beans, any protein sourse, i cut meat, and started making fish, and i have not had a bite of bread since march, once i started doing this the pounds shed off. heres my last piece of advice. DONT weigh yourself everyday! its not steady. and it only made me feel depressed. weigh only once a week, or once every 2 weeks. i have lost 94 pds. but its been hard work, and dedication.gastric bypass is the easy way out, give this a chance you can do it! may God bless you on your journy.

hi hun, i just read your post about your port, i know exactly how you feel read my post its right after yours. But im writing you because you should not give up on this the band is a "Fickle Bitch" i know its so hard, harder than we imagined. i was also banded in november 11/24/08. i had such a hard time, i went down 3, then up 5 then down 2, then up another 4. i was like what the hell! heres what i was doing wrong, 1. i did not excercise at all! 2. i ate bad foods just softened them up in my mouth or blended them, i ate chocolate, mashed potatoes, bread. i thought that the band was gonna do all the dirty work. then i started to think i spent so much money on this "no insurance" i have to make this work,

well this has happened to me twice, the first time it didnt hurt at all i felt little stings in my port area here and there, but never real pain, i just thought it was normal band stuff.then i went for my first fill and he couldnt fill me because the port was completely on the other side, so my doc said we have to fix this, at that moment he prepared the O.R. and "fixed" it, it took about an hour, he didnt put me to sleep he just put local anesthetic, it only hurt at times, what was more traumatizing was the sounds, and smells. He then proceeded to fill me, No Charge. i thought hmmm, maybe it was his fault, i thought to myself ok, everyone makes mistakes. next fill time comes around, and guess what its loose again, luckily this time the port was on the right side and he was able to fill me, but he told me that eventually we were going to have to open up again, i was devistated, how could this be! he tells me that its very rare, but it does happen. reasons: exsesive exercising, push ups, crunches, that sort of thing any strech on the stomach and sleeping face down. well i am a victim of all of the above! so yesterday i went for a fill again, he wasnt as lucky as last time, the port was completely flipped, so back to the O.R. i knew the procedure and i wasnt nervous, you gotta do what you gotta do, in an hour i was done, he said that he secured it like he's never done with any other patient, if it moves he said he would call himself a lowsy surgeon. I hope this will never happen again. he never charged me! hope this helps someone. banded 11-24-08 93 lbs. Gone forever! =) :thumbdown:
