Get to your Doctor and Don't wait, they will probably do a barium swallow, to see what is going on.... Don't wait, I just went through this, and I had a prolapse above the band and they fixed it right away that was last friday and I fell 100% better after several months thinking it would gt better.... I am moving on and eat they way I am suppose, I will play by the rules... Get to your Doctor.... Girll !!

I highly recommend SWLC, I was banded July 13 2010, I have lost 70lbs, My fill nurse noticed My port flipped, In December I happen to be in Toronto, I took a chance I could see a nurse at SWLC, she had an opening, she concurred , I was heading back up North the next day, Dr. Coburn tried my cell phone and left a message, it was too late in the day to return his call, HE called at 9;30 IN THE EVENING ... to schedule a day to fix me up !!! I just had it fixed... They are a wonderful supportive group of people.

Hi there Ladies !!! Sorry I haven't been on lately .... I really am having trouble navigating this site!! Well I lost only 4lbs in December... I hung for most of the month...but I am OK with that. I felt that I almost died Christmas day after everyone went home. I did really well until that time,,,, when cleaning up the kitchen.... I gulped a lemon square or 2... grabbed a glass of Water... took a GULP....I have never experienced anything like it, I was choking, barfing, unable to breathe, I was outside gasping it felt like I was drowning it was coming out my nose. It was indeed my own fault, I have have alot of blocking since then,,,, but if I am really careful it is ok. I don't want to go for a defill.... So since the New Year is here and the junk is out... I am losing once again, I am feeling pretty good, and I am happy.... I still have no Regrets. Take Care.

HI Ladies, we all must be really busy lately!!! I am off to Sudbury Tomorrow for a fill, This month I am stuck, I have only lost 1lb. I am downhearted...BUT having said that at least I haven't gained!!! I feel that I am eating more than a cup even though I do measure.... but after my last fill that was ok... now it is not. I have read about people stretching the pouch Etc... I don't think I have done that, I have none of those symptons. I am a bit nervous about going for a fill, after the last one it took awhile before I figured out what stuck and why, I should be wiser this time, With December quickly approaching I want to get a handle on this, Right now, I feel like I used to when on a diet.... Remember....being done with it.... Don't get me wrong I look in the mirror and I like what I see. I guess I just want this to keep working for me. How are you gals making out? Love to hear from you:rolleyes: NEXT DAY I am home I had my fill, just a small one....It was great to talk with Mary Beth...I feel better now, and ready to head down the scale... She is worried I could be too tight .. so I am just going to take it really easy for the next few days... I have Meditrim left... and I picked up protien powder at Walmart today.. I will ry it too. Cheers:P

Breakast I drink my coffee then shower / dress that takes up the 15 minutes ~ then I make instance oatmeal c/w a spash of milk 1/2 tsp of brown sugar Splenda. 11:30 lunch ~ 1/2 cup chicken or beef or salmon. maybe cracker 5/ 90 cal c/w with a piece of laughing cow cheese 35 cal ~ 35 cal yogurt or 60 cal Jello brand pudding. 3pm big cup of tea. 5pm supper ~ meat~ steamed brocolli/ califlower OR a lean Cusine I am losing a steady rate and I am afraid to get another fill right now as I have had trouble from eating too fast or not chewing well then I need to throw some up. I never thought I would be a person who could stick her fingers down my throat to get rid of the pain and blockage.... but when I start to slime and belch I can't help myself. Not too often but it does happen.:eek:
