What I meant was I have little restriction, but i do not want to have too much restriction-when things have trouble getting or staying down...So far that has never happened to me, so I am afraid to tempt fate!!

I postponed my fill today because I have lost 15lbs already this month. Since April 13th, I have lost a total of 68 lbs and I feel really good. I am not uncomfortable, nothing has ever gotten stuck, and I have never thrown up. I just do not want to push my luck. I still have little restriction, but I am HAPPY... Anyone else feel this way??

As you lose weight, the fatty tissues disappear on you internal organs as well. Just a thought....

I received 4 Cc on my first fill, no restriction....yet!

Has anyone checked this site out. My MIL sees a nutritionist who told her about this site. After joining the site, which is free, it lets you map out walking routes, tells you the distance in miles and when you plug in how long it takes you to complete, it tells you the calories burned. Very cool and an awesome tool!! http://runstoppable.com I posted this in 2 different forums because I thought it was very useful...

I had slight blurred vision right after surgery also. It goes away pretty quickly. I could not read very tiny lettering, but I attributed it just to the surgery. It did go back to normal!!

I am 3 months post op also(banded 4/13).I have yet to have a fill because of various reasons, but the last reason was because I am doing so well without it, why make myself uncomfortable? So I ask why make myself uncomfortable?? Just curious as to what I am missing,I have lost 52 lbs. I really do not want to lose weight any faster than that, but I do want to weigh less. I am scheduled for a fill on August 11th and do not know if I need it or not. I do know that I really never feel full, but I do have limitations. I have never had anything stuck, and I am not sure I want to go down that road if I don't have to. So I am taking it slow and one day at a time. I would do it all over in a heart beat and wish I had done it earlier!!

What was the date of your surgery? April 13, 2010 How healthy did you/do you eat? I stay away from breads,pastas,cereal,and sugar(for the most part) How much do you exercise? Routinely 3-5 times per week How much have you lost? 52 pounds Are you happy with your results? Very-and I've yet to get a fill

I have had a mild lumpish feeling in my throat on and off for the past 2 WEEKS/with also a lot of pressure in my sternum. I feel fine in the morning, but around 1:00 in afternoon the pressure comes. I am not restricted yet because dr would not give my first fill. I am getting tired of the discomfort. Dr office did not return my call so I am just living with it. First 5 weeks not a pain-then for last 2, I cannot pinpoint what is causing it. I have doubledosed on antacids with little-to- no relief. I just want to know that nothing is physically wrong. Luckily I have a great sleep with no discomfort. I have tried to do without milk, thinking maybe it was that, but it is not. Any other suggestions as what to do??.... Thanks!!

Believe it or not, my kids dip baby carrots into it, and of course celery.

I already had my gallbladder removed over 10 years ago and yes the pains feels similar!!

Take the anti-nausea medication they offer you in the hospital. Other than dry heaves from the anesthesia right after surgery, I have never thrown up!!
