@angrybaby, Im a fast eater too honey, Im half asian, and my whole asian side eats FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol And I do some of the tricks you do, and I take a bite then i get online or get up move around and do something right quick, then ill go back and take another bite so on and so forth. I also do what another person said on here and that is once you get stuck over and over u tend to learn to slow down, but honestly your trick that u do works better for me aswell. When i go out to dinner with my friends im like a snail, b/c im in the process of feeling the food out to see if its gonna be good to me while im in public..b/c believe it or not even with my friends who are naturally slow eaters im 10x's slower at eating a meal then they are, to the point that its get obvious to the waiter, or other people at the table who aren't aware of my band.....

Before side view on left at 300 pounds and on right at 161. I was 295 morning of surgery. Its been about a year and a half and I've lost 134 pounds. Best decision I've ever made.

Dr. Fred Maese (pronounced mace-ee), he is a heart doctor that also does lap band fills, he is not a lap band surgeon, but an after care doctor along with his main practice of heart health. He has 2 offices, one in N. Dallas, off of Preston Rd. and Northwest Hwy ph# 214-234-0330 at this time he does fills @ that location on Mon and Thurs. The other location is in Farris, Tx which is going south on I-45, past city of Hutchins. That locations ph#972-842-3911 he only performs fills Tues and Friday's at the Farris Office. All of his fills are performed with fluro's completed either before or after the fill is done, but never while he is inserting the fill. I go to both locations depending on my schedule at the time I need a fill. I have Aetna ppo insurance and my copay is only 40.00 but that is my price based on my insurance, everyone's is different.

i would recommend waiting 4hrs after a meal to go to bed..bc/ with me jus waiting 2....i wake up in pain as if there is still heaviness in pouch b/c of food....i just feel very uncomfortable...but i knonw thats why the pouched began to get out of shape...

lookin good yourself! keep up the good work! -
Ok, So I went in for a fill today, and was advised that i have EARLY stages of slippage, etc etc...the pouch is still within the parameters of the band, but i need to fix it now while its early...so they tell me to do a 30 day liquid diet!!! WTH??!! I still got a fill of .2 bringing me to 7cc, b/c believe it or not the 7cc ranges is where i get my sweet spot. I was once at 7.9, but was too tight, resulting in an unfill of what i thought was .3, but ended up being 1.4cc now i have to work my way back up..well anyways i am just wondering if anyone has experienced this and did the liquid diet for less than 30 days and had their problem fixed. Im just being realistic...i can do a 2 week liquid maybe 2 1/2, but 4 weeks???!!! im like in shock!!! lol I will post a picture of the stretched pouch in my album today, so yall can see and get an idea of what im working with... Any tips, ideas, and experiences of your own are very appreciated!! Thanks

hey deb, i wasnt really having symptoms...i mean i was able to sneak in more solid foods...at times...without it coming back up, but i always get my fills done under xray....so thats how it was really detected...they call it "early signs of a stretch"
-
Yes im thankful i caught it early!! im on my 2nd day of liquids..and soo far soo good!
-
THanks Betz!! QUOTE=BetsyB;1414214]I don't have experience with it, but wanted to say I'm sorry you're facing this. 30 days of liquids would be so hard to take!

i love it girl!! u look great! -
everything actually went well surprisingly..the only thing that was painful was the port area and i was in pain with that for about a month..it was very tender for me, but the overall surgery was fine...i didnt think the anesthesia would be strong enough to knock me out but it did as that was my first experience with that as well...lol you will be fine just pray, but other than that no big worries girl!
-
