    omg thankssssssssss i was so worried ..hopefully it wont need a new surgery my dr said the same ..i wanted to make sure its probably a swelling .. so now i ll have to fill up the 2cc again ? and add maybe 1 cc more to get the target restriction ?? with 6cc i felt partial restriction and i was taking care wanted to reach the sweet phase .. and lose more so wanted another fill .. or now i can be ok with only 4cc in the band

  14. jasmine mino

    yes this is fine to me too ..

    put a starting date

    i am going to my doctor on saturday to see if i need restriction

    i lost nothing this week .. and i feel discomfort and burning in my stmach if there is a long period between meals .. i am not o since i started eating .. its not that food stuck .. its that i have this discomfort whether i ate or i didnt .. only thing that releives me is the juices

    anyhow i am waiting for starting date

    i can add you on facebook to be easier to contact each other frequently

  15. jasmine mino

    well .. i dont have a specific plan or date in mind .. i want something reasonable and do-able:)

     

    so please give this a thought

    is it unrealistic if i said we make a plan

    from first of april till first of june /or july (you choose ) and we lose like 20 lbs? is it too much .. too little ?

    please let me know ..

    jasmine

  16. jasmine mino

    well i think you are doing great too ..

    my doctor will wait for couple of weeks before restriction

    i feel like i can eat alot but i dont ..

    i ll have to change my work schedule to fit the daily sports .. i ll start tomoroow

    thnx for ur answer ill go to my dr and see if i can advance my restriction date :) i just wanna lose another 7 or 8 kilograms ..

    i dont have trouble eating anything for now .. i havent tried chicken and meat yet :D hehe i am scared lol but ill try them this week .. everything else is going fine thanks God

     

    what about planning a summer goal together? and help each other to reach it since we had the surgery the same day ?

    Is this pain normal?

    jasmine mino replied to MissMe27's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    i hope i can help !! i am still 1 week postoperative but maybe the fill was too much for you .. and its too tight now !! hope everthing works good for you :w00t:
  24. jasmine mino
    i think if i were you i would have done it .. july is still 4 months away you have lost good amount of weight ..so it wont be a big deal but the band itself induce a new lifestyle so you may loosen the band to prevent a stuck episode but ou have to control your food intake also .. for ur health in the first place good luck to you
  25. jasmine mino

    hiii

    i took 1 more week off

    i am still in pain .. and i cant walk upright or drive yet

    i hope i start losing soon

    good luck to you dear
