I got a fill 4 days ago and I followed instructions. My doctor says 24 hours of liquids, 24 of soft foods. On the third day I had regular food and was fine. On the 4 day my band went crazy. I have great restriction, but when I lay down I get horrible reflux and i am in pain. Tonight I got sick from a bake potato! I can't go to sleep. I like the restriction but I can't handle the reflux my throat is a mess. When is it time to throw in the towel and go get unfilled? Anyone else out there with this problem?

Thanks for the advice. I got unfilled .2 I only had a .3 fill but I guess that was just too much. I lost 10 in 5 days. I like that part. I feel much better.

Thanks. I don't know what to do. I want the restriction since I gained 5lbs in 1 month after my last fill. However I feel horrible right now. I might try liquids again and see what happens.

So sorry about your denial. I know how important this process is. Don't give up. Try and stay positive and believe that if it is meant to be it will happen. Good luck with your Journey.

Congrats! Can't wait to join you there!

This is why I love this website. I was banded in June 2009 also. Weight loss has been really slow for me maybe we June folks got a bad batch of bands...lol. I did however stop getting fills and I think that was the problem I gained and losed the same 10 pounds for like the last4 months. I went to see my doctor last month and got another fill. I have lost the 10 again now I am waiting to see if I can get passed that 10. I have lost 55lbs since the surgery. I realize from this site everyone goes at their own pace. Don't give up.

I thought I was the only one. Thanks for your post. We can do it!

Hello Everyone, This is only my second post on this site. I am glad I came back to the site. So far I have only lost 55lbs. Banded June 23rd. I was feeling a little down. (I thought I would lose more by now) :redface:. I wanted to see how others have done who had the surgery the same time I did. You guys are inspirational. I decided to stop watching the Biggest Looser and hoping for those results. Not realistic for me. I am going to make better choices and exercise. :confused:

Hello all. I am new to this site and I am considering the lap-band surgery. I know there is a skinny girl in me somewhere. I am ready to find her. My husband is kind of scared and does not want me to have it.:wub: However I need to do this for me and I want to be there for my kids.:whatchutalkingabout I welcome any advice. Actually I am begging for advice:w00t:. Also if anyone knows a good doctor in Baton Rouge, La please let me know.

I want this surgery. I don't know who is the best doctor for me. If anyone has had a good or bad( I want to know everything) expierence with a Baton Rouge Doctor let me know please. If anyone knows a doctor in the Baton Rouge area they could suggest I would greatly appreciate it. :whatchutalkingabout
