I had .5 taken out yesterday, they told me that the band was definatley too tight. The vomiting causes the swelling and within a few more days I would not of been able to get Water down. Feeling better now. Good luck.

Had my last fill approx a month ago. After 3 weeks I really started feeling everything getting stuck. Had to walk out of a couple of business lunches to make the restroom to throw up. I am going to get an unfill this week it's amazing how just a .5 difference in your fill makes.

Is it possible to lose 30-35 pounds by Oct. 23rd?
lakeside replied to Erin18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hope so I need to lose 26-30 lbs to get under 300 on my birthday Oct 28th. Currently 325 lbs starting weight was 371. -
Just sayin hello. I can't believe how fast you are dropping. When did you notice the biggest jump in your weightloss after surgery? Great haircut too!

I know what you mean the up and down weight battle will drive u crazy. Thats why I decided to get banded. No regrets, it's the best thing I ever did for my health.

Hope you do it you will not regret it. I live in Central Fl and had it done at suncoast bariatrics, Dr Tiffany Jessee in Clearwater. She is from West VA and just the greatest. Wish you luck. I had my surgery the april 28 and have already lost 45 lbs

Great job, hair looks good too! -
Thanks for adding me.I had my first fill June 8 of 6cc and one this past week of 2.2 cc. I can really tell the difference. I don't think it is too tight but you know pretty quick when your full. Have you been working out much?

lakeside replied to outside*looking*in's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was self pay and also submitted a claim for my hernia repair too. Ins sent it back ( of course) and asked for more info which I did turn in a couple of weeks ago. Still no update yet but I will post when I find something out. -
How many cc's do you have?
lakeside replied to Ms_C's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded in April 2010 w a 14 cc band, I had my first fill in June of 6cc and a fill this past week of 2.2cc for a total of 8.2cc. I have lost 45 lbs to date but this restriction is really noticeable. -
I wished PB stood for Peanut butter.

So easy to do when you are in a hurry. -
My surgery date was April 28th with Dr Jessee too. My starting weight was 371. I have a 14cc band and got my first fill on June 8th 6.6cc. I did notice restriction right away but things seemed to get easier to eat and digest. I have lost a total of 45 lbs since preop and have started working out much more. I notice I am starting to drift up on the scale and am scheduled for another fill this week. I am hoping to get to the better restriction after this fill and see the weight start dropping.

congrats, I am down 40 lbs now and I need to post some newe photos, thanks again for all the encouragement. -
Thanks, Had my first fill 6.6 cc on Tues. feeling good down over 30lbs but more to go.

Don't worry be happy! I was banded on April 28 and just had my first fill yesterday. The liquid diet following post op is very boring and the mushies are only a little better in my experience. Just don't give in and follow your drs orders. I think we all kind of expect to notice something right away and dont. There is not restriction in your band yet but believe me you will know when they fill it. Stay the course and be blessed.
