Hi Shaw, thanks for your msg, I too had my band fitted on the 31st Jan 2009, I had my first infill in March and it didnt last long, they wont infill me now untill I come back from the states in May as the band apparently sewlls up and it would make it very uncomfy, where did you get your band fitted ? Im from Brighton so its not too far from you, funny that as all the replys iv had are from very helpfull people in the states, speak soon, Diane xxx Im also very hungry and crave crisps. 29 lb lost ,28lbs to go.

Hi everyone, Diane here from England, hope everybody is fit and well. I have another dilema, Sunday its my treat day and I have a little extra to eat and a nice bottle of wine with my dinner, for dinner this week I had Liver, gravy and veg, yum yum, really nice and went down a treat, as I had some left over I decided to have it for my tea when I returned home from work the next day, now on a Sunday im grazing all day with different types of food, come Monday im as good as gold and back on plan, so I dont eat much during the day, came back from work and got my liver ready, the first mouthfull got stuck, the band must have been so tight that I had to go and bring it up (sorry) sometimes if this happens I just need to dislodge whats stuck and im fine, remembering to slow down and chew chew chew:blink:, last night was different, it felt as though it was dislodged but everytime I ate a mouthfull within 2 min I was back in the toilet, so I gave it a rest and after an hour I had a youghart, forget it that had to come back up aswell, so I had a cup of tea and forgot about eating, I wasnt hungry anyway, so this morning iv got up and im trying to eat Shreddies left for a while in milk to soften them, its ok but a very carefull process, its going down but feels a little sore, dont think I have anything lodged or trapped in band as breakfast is staying down but probably really bruised it last night, silly really eating liver as its tougher than chicken and im not allowed that yet, so im staying semi soft for today to give band a rest. Any ideas gratefull. Diane xxxx:tt1:

Hi Plain, thanks for your very kind words, you are sooo right with regard to how much or not I have in band, and yes it seems to be working, thanks again, Diane, England

Hi there, band fitted in Jan 09, surgeon put in 3ml at opperation then after 6 weeks I had my first infill and the doc put in another 3ml, so im now up to 6ml in a 10ml band, is this alot to have put in, in such a short time ????, im feeling ok, have restriction, but some days i coould eat everything, I dont though im very good:tongue_smilie:, one day I can eat then the next day im not hungry atall, is this right ??. I go away in 3 weeks long haul to the states so they wont give me a fill untill I come back, im loosing 1-2lb a week still so I dont think I need a fill just yet, but want to loose this weight so badly, so far lost 28lbs in 7 weeks and need to loose another 28lb to get to target, start weight 186lbs target 126lbs, think this will be ard as i dont have that much to loose. thanks xxxx

Hi Diane here, I had band fitted in Jan 09 and am flying to the states in April, I was told that I didnt need to do anything with the band, sometimes the air bubbles expand and all you do is sit there, dont eat or drink and wait till you land and the air bubbles disperse, you might have to go on liquid for a few hours.
