Well tonights meeting wasn't so great, only one person showed up. I sure it's because tomorow is Thanksgiving. I have contacted all the companies that offer samples and I will have samples for everyone at the next meeting. We stayed for almost an hour talking about things we can do to reach our goals. One of the hand out talks about setting goals and giving thanks. I am thankful for all...

Things have been good and bad for me. I have suffered from acid reflux. When my band is to tight it is really bad. I had lost 135lbs, until I had my band let out to releive the reflux. and gained 20 lbs back in no time. I am tighter now but I can't seem to loose the 20lbs so it's gotten me a little down worried I am going to go back to the way I was. I don't regret doing this I am healthier and happier. I am working on becoming a support group leader, so that I can help others and my self. Kim Where did you get your body magic? I have ha a hard time with my waist line and upper stomach area. Glad to hear you ar doing so well. keep up the good work. Jill

8 Month Anniversary, How's everyone doing?
jdelaere replied to jdelaere's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wow I am always amazed on how different every bandster is. I have an appointment monday and I know I have put on a few pounds from the holidays. Personally I am not worried just concerned the doctor will be disappointed. Since I had been having some issue with it being to tight over the last couple of months now it feels way to loose. I have little restriction and I am hungery all the time. So I am thinking I will get it tightened so I can get back on track and start loosing the rest to reach my goal. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I look forward to hearing from everyone. -
Can't believe it's been 8 months. I have lost 84lbs since surgery 101 over all. Recently have been having some medical problems. I have multiple gall stones, so I will have to have my gall bladdeer removed. Also have a kidney stone. But worst of all I am having trouble eating. Everything I eat creates flem in my throught so it feels like I am chocking on it and I have to throw it up. Also everythin I eat sits real heavy under my breast bone. It's very uncomfortable. I am worried my band has slipped. Have an appointment in a week for a follow up. On a good note I don't feel week or rundown I am still able to get to the gym a couple times a week. As long as I don't eat to much I feel fine just upset that I can eat and enjoy the food I am suppose to be eating. If anyone has had similar things happen please let me know, because right now I am not sure what to think.

Hi everyone, sounds like everyone is doing really well. I am not sure how I am doing. Confused I guess. Last month when I had a fill then had part of it taken back out because it was to tight. I have maintained my weight for a month, just started again. Finially got back to the gym today after all the crazinest at work the past month. I still have good restriction but I get hungery between meals so I don't know what to do. Then there was a few days when everything I ate seemed to get stuck, and I thought maybe my band slipped. Im not sure If I would really know if my bland had slopped. The good news is I am 9lbs from loosing 100lbs that's an awesome feeling. Only 29 more to go to my doctors goal for me, and 59 to my ultimate goal. Now that I have made it this far life seems a little scary. I am a little worried I am going to fail somewhere down the road. I think I still have a lot of work to do with how I think about food and myself. But right now life is good.

thanks for the great advice. I have an appointment in 2 weeks, still not sure if I will get a fill. still have good restriction but I thinks that partly because I am over doing it. Trying to eat foods that just aren't my friend anymore.
