I hate to do that I finally started to lose the weight, but thanks for your opinion, its appreciated.

Well one good thing is I went to my PMD and she did blood work on me and everything is perfect. So I no that I am healthy and pretty much feeling good. Have you heard of it being really tight for a few weeks then loosing up a bit cause I was able to eat breakfast this morning without getting sick and thats a first for me.

If I drnk at all during eating the food comes right back up. The food I eat always comes up anyway but even more so if I drink. I am having a problem I get sick a few times a day went to my pmd and had some blood work done to check everything out but she thinks I should have it losened cause I can have some severe problems with my esophpgus and she gave me medication to help with that. I don't wanna loosen it cause I finally started to loose and my weight lose is kinda slow. May 22-215 Today-194

Well I am kright there with yas!!! I have always had an addiction to my scale, now I only weight in once a day but I use to be worse several times a day, it made me nuts!!!

Good luck to you. I had a tummy tuck about 2 years ago. Although I was an out patient, didn't have to stay over nite. I also had it done before I had the lap band, did things a bit backwards. Anyway, you can wear underwear, you will be in a binder after the surgery. Beprepared its very painful, but you will love the results. Good luck

I don't no , mushies wont go down for me either, no different than solid foods. I PB just about every day and I think I eat to much and too fast, its a learning exsperience and I still haven't got the whole thing down pat yet. Good luck all Banded May22nd-215 tolday-196

Hi all, its been a while since I posted but came back. I was banded on May22nd. I just had my second fill a week ago and I really have restriction now, can barelyt eat a thing so I make sure I get the protein drinks in so that at least something is in me. I hate throwing up all the time but I like it now that I had the second fill the weights coming down.. I figure once I loose so much I will tell the doc and he can loosen it. Had 1 and halfcc first fill and 1 second fill. Look foward to talking again !!! Starting weight May 22-215 Today, August7th-197.5

I had my first fill on Monday and was banded on May22nd. The doc put in 1 1/2 cc's. I felt alot of heartburn and just about everything i ate came back up seemed like too much restriction although today I ate crazy bad and had no pain at all, really strenge i wonder whats goin on in there??? I think my weight lose is also real slow kinda disappointed with it. May22-215 today-201 __________________

Hello All Happy 4th, Well I was banded on May22,2006 Just had 1.5cc fill on Friday. Every since I have had it done I have almost a constant chest pain heart burn feeling. I have had the chest pain before I had the fill and that was when I over ate then I would get sick and feel better. Now this is almost constant like if its possible that maybe whatever I am eating isn't going threw at all maybe food is stuck and thats where this painis coming from. I f anyone has exsperienced any of these kind of symptons please let me no. Thanks for listening and hope you all have a nice day. Banded MAy22nd-215 Today-201

I think your right cause I see myself moving away to softer food so I can eat cause I feel deprived. Think it would be safe to see what happens in a couple days???Just to make sure it don't go away first.

What can happen if you are to full?? I was on liquids only for the following day then back to regular foods. I hate to get some saline taken out cause I really wanted to jump start this weight lose, before trhis I could eat anything and not as much as before the band but I think enough. I can only eat a little bit unless its ice cream or watermelon then I can really eat that, but I shouldn't i no that. Its the real food that bothers me but waking up in the morning and going to bed at nite with this constant real bad heartburn chest pain kinda thing is annoying.

Hello All I am a Emergency Room Technician and a part time nursing student. Can't eait to get my RN!!! May22 surgery-215 Today-201.5

Hi All, Well most of the timje after eating I get this terrible chest pain very painful!! I exsperience it almost every day!! Most of the tijme it is followed shortly after with some food coming back up but sometimes not and it will eventually pass. I was told by my dietician that I need to stop eating before it gets to that point just when i feel pressure not pain but I haven't figured that out yet. If anyone has the same thinkg happening I would love to here your story. I am wide open and go for a fill on the 30th i wonder how much pain i will be in then?? Surgery 05/22/06 weight started-215 weight today-201.5:help:

i don't think its acid reflux i have had that before and this is something real different that I have never felt since the surgery. I am ewither over eating or not chewing well enough its so hard to get out of the old habbits of eating alot and fast.

sounds great i am gonna ret it and like someone else said teens can make it this way cause we no that teens don't do dishes!!!

Well I started today off with dreinking a protein shaked in the am cause i no that i will get the protein in that way, but for lunch i just had a chicken salad and half of it came up, I don't recongize that full feeling before the pain, its so hard for me to tell i feel my belly being hungry so i continue to eat. So use to clearing my plate and something tasting so good you really wanna finish it. I no my answer i need to slow down chew better and eat less for some reason though i feel deprived when i eat less, i need to get over it. Thanks all for the advice............

Thanks Doc, it is nice to see a doctor take the time to check things out. I just spoke to my surgeon and he said basically the same thing that its a 3 year progress and I have yet to get a fill that this is the healing time and starting to eat the right way. Thanks and your not butting in at all.

I don't no what to do, was this band a waste of time and money. Not to mention the scars on my body. When I was doing the clear liquids a pound a day I lost down 16 pounds!! Started regular food this weekend and BAM I gained 5 lbs just like that!! If anyone does liquids all the time they will lose also, so why get banded for that!! n I drink a shake in the AM for the protein lunch I have a little salad hard boiled egg then middle of day another shake and some veggies and protein for dinner, what the heck am I doing wrong!! So I haven't had the time to exercise but I should still be losing I am not eating at all like I was before the band. I don't no what to do this is drivnig me nuts!!!

Your sooooooooooooo cool Thanks

one more thing thanks guys your a GREAT support system, I will work on the ticker thing.
