Hi all...it has been quite awhile since my last post...hope all is well with everyone...I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary January 31st...I have had only one fill to date and am still very restricted...I have lost 128 pounds...my question is am I a freak of nature or are there others like me out here? I am considering have a half of a cc taken out due not being able to eat...I mean certain things I can tolerate..alot I cannot...I am more restricted in the morning and afternoon..then in the evening is when I have my best luck of eating...not complaining mind you..just wondering if any others like me out there... -

I used Dr. Alanis for my lapband surgery and he is a really good Dr. always there to answer any questions you may have, and was a great surgeon no problems. -

I Have a question? I have been banded since January 31, 2008. I have had one fill in May on the 7th and it was one cc into a 10 cc band. Is it normal to have such a good restricition on the first fill. I am down 70 lbs. and so tight it is amazing. Just want to know if i was freak of nature or if this is how it is suppose to work. -

Hope all of you have been doing well in your trek to achieve your goal weights. I have not posted for awhile and thought I would give an update on my progress. I was banded on January 31, 2008 and just had my first fill on May 7th. To date I have lost 55 lbs and several clothes sizes. It is a good thing that I kept all of my clothes from the 70s. I have a feeling I will be needing them. lol:thumbup: -

Hi All, I was banded 1/31/08...weight loss to date has been 31 lbs. but now I find myself able to consume much more food. I know that a 1/4 to 1/2 of a cup is the norm but feel I could eat much more. I am adhering to what I am suppose to be eating. Just wondering if I possibly slipped my band. I go to see the Dr. on Monday...hopefully for a fill..... -

My experience will pill crushing is get used to it....I tried taking the smallest pill that I take and it got stuck...mix it with vanilla yogurt and it will not be a problem...I too take some pretty nasty tasting meds.... -
