Thank you for sharing this I'm so happy that I FOUND this post!!!! My issues if you do not mind I will share my stroy I was doing great with my wls in [2009] when I had it done I lost almost 50lbs in the first few months of getthing it done, then I ended up having knee issues that kept me from workingout, once I figured out it was back issue causing the knee issue I got back on track but into funk of not wanting to work out and I worked in nursing home that time so I GOT into to the bad food habit again I was like on my band will fix this, whelp it went from knee issues to finding out it was my back then to hurting my back my first year out I did pretty good now fast track to 2012 I'm like what is going on I'm losing weight but not like I was my wls DR dose not want to see me till I lose 20lbs then I started with the worst foot pain in my life during this time I turned to yoga walking biking hiking zumba [but not changing me dite] wondering why am I not losing weight and why the first year I great restriction on my band. Well we find out my foot issues I lost my job in 2013 of couse over the course of hte year not begin ableto work out let along pay attion to wht I am eating, then today at work it hit me I'm not working with my band but against it and your post hit home to me, I'm going to take it back to basics again because I know that will work. Thank you for sharing your story you have helped me and best of luck to you I hope you keep us updated. PS I do not feel alone now

Sometimes I can't do the jumping because I'm too tired or the photos on the wall of my Living room are shaking and I don't want them to fall at like almost midnight so I do the moves without jumping I kick my legs and move my hips.

I'm in the same boat but I'm not giving up. Im looking for new dr. Because long story I don't care for mine. I was banded in 09 I was doing good then ran into back issues in 2010 got back on track doing good depression gained weight fought it started losing the stopped gained because I listened to meg comment thenhurt my. Sck at work again then started losing and had foot problem got depressed turned to food now I gave my self kick in the butt. What's helping I got into Zumba dr.oz back to crocheting reading learned to knit and I started blog too. I need to find new doc to get my band checked some days it feels like it working and some it dose not but I know it's me. Your not alone

That sounds about right I have the fp app and do Zumba on my wii and DVD

I love my fitness pal it keeps me in check my user name is nicki18229 feel free to add me

So I was wondering what size is the large band? I asked my doc what size band he put on I THOUGH he would have said whatever cc but he said large was just wondering is that 14cc size band?

Whats up with the chat room it will not laod for me for some reason it says done but it dose not load for me is it something on my end or what

I was banded on 7/6/09 I still have gas and burping how long will this last because it's annoying? I knew that I would have gas because they blow you up to do the operation but I wish it would just all come out at once ya know.

one other thing I noticed when I lay down at night to go to bed I get this pressure in my left sholder it only happens of I lay down it goes away if I put my arm over my head I wonder why? The burping thing is getting better and the gas pain I feel almost normal again

I was the same way two days prior to my operation I had to start liquids and I was banded july 6 I'm still on clear liquids only I will try the roman with out the noodles I'm sick of beef and chicken as well wish that they would market stuff in the stores other then those two flavors.

I was banded july 6 I have dirrea I'm still on liquid diet yet till I see the doc on the 16 so i KNOW liquid in liquid out!

Mine is on the left side few ways away from my belly button

Well tomorrow is the big day! I get banded woohoo I can't wait:thumbup::thumbup:

Congrats! I can't wait to have mine done now too:thumbup:

Thank you! I can't wait
