How dare anyone ridicule you for taking such a brave step in life. They really ought to be ashamed of themselves!!!!! I am sorry this is your closest family members who are doing this, it just shows their insecurities in life. Move forward, find a way to ignore the insults, surround yourself with positive people and you will succeed. This may sound cheesy but some of the most successful people in the world failed miserably numerous times until they got it right. You can do this!!!!!! I believe in you!!!! Dena

don't get discouraged, this is a life long process. Get a fill, go back to liquids, and maybe find a support group in your area to help you work through this. Believe me, we all have our plateaus.

Back Pain And Find A New Doctor In Los Angeles County
ddrag posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi All, I was banded July 7, 2010. I have lost 75. Been stuck at this weight loss for at least 6 mos. I just can't seem to hit the 80 pound loss mark. Last week I started getting sharp pains in the middle of my back when any liquid or food is digesting. I can barely eat anything solid without getting this pain. I am wondering what is going on.. ???? Before this pain, on a regular day I can have coffee, banana fir Breakfast, maybe turkey, Soup and crackers for lunch. Then for dinner maybe I'll nibble a bit from the reg dinner my sis cooks, or if I'm good, ill have peppers, hummus and some yogurt. Im a sucker for chips and salsa and chocolate with red wine... I have to start running again, that made a huge difference in my weight loss. But right now I'm just worried about this pain. My regular doctor no longer works for 1800GetSlim so I need to find a new one in the Los Angeles area. Suggestions?? Dena -

Hi Shawn,
Wow, you are going to the Valencia Office? what city do you live in? I thought you were somewhere in Riverside. So far I have had a total of 6 cc's and I cannot feel a difference at all. I go back October 2nd, so I am hoping for a change. I am still at 28 pounds lost but I really have to exercise to keep losing. How did everything go for you? Hope it went well!!!!

Hi Shawn,
Well I got my first fill almost 2 weeks ago and I didn't feel any change at all. He put in 3 cc"s. So I am going in this Saturday to get another fill. Dr. Madan said he liked to start with 3 cc and then put more in if needed. So are you driving all the way into the Beverly office or into the Covina office? I go to the Covina office on Saturday mornings. So I have lost about 24 lbs. It is a slow process but I feel a million times better already. I hope you are doing well and feeling successful!!! Thanks for sending me a message! Dena

Hello,
Sorry its been a while, I've just been running around enjoying my summer, back to work tomorrow. . Hope everything is going well for you. I just had my first fill and don"t really feel a difference either. I am suppose to go back in 2 weeks for another fill if I need it. So how have you been doing since your first fill? Did you get another fill?

Hey Dena,
I had my first fill yesterday and I think I am feeling more full, I have been working out 3-4 days a week and everyone says they can see a difference, but my arch nemises (the scale) doesnt show it... How are you?

Pain on my leftside right below rib cage.

Hey, I get that same exact pain off and on. Especially when I yawn or breath deeply. It often hurts to sleep on my left side too. My only guess is that it has something to do with my band/port??? Let me know if you figure it out. Dena
