I'd like to ask if permissible Ken.What job field are you in?Being laidoff is no good for anyone or their bodies

Well Ken first of all welcome aboard.If you reached a plateau in your weight loss journey.Youre going to have to shock the body and wake it up.Change up your routine your exercise regimen.Or you could be naturally where you need to be weight wise. I don't necessarily get caught up in the numbers on the scale as some may do.How your clothes are fitting.If you can see your toes now without moving the shed.Are you enjoying life.Those questions you must answer yourself.How does your girlfriend or significant other see you now.Dont forget that muscle weighs more than fat.so if you have been in the gym.kicking those steel plates around.Then maybe your weight could be stabilized by your muscle growth.One thing is for sure.Youre probably a lot better looking and feeling better now than ever before.All of us here hope that you are.

Howdy Weeze...where's George?just kidding.Welcome and congratulations.

I don't know if I would be doing anything as strenuous as P90x this early.If your doc feels its okay and you feel okay.Then hit it dawg..I myself I do treadmill and lift weights.i try to be active as much as I can.A body in motion stays in motion.plus it helps to keep you out of the fridge.

First of all we don't know what size of a band that you have.If you don't feel like eating.Try a protein drink or something equivalent.Its important that you keep nutritious foods in your body.If you don't you could pass out because of the lack of energy foods.Make sure you get your proteins

Actually the band is doing its job.youve lost some fat around your band.plus some of your old fills could've evaporated

Sounds like you're do for a fill.Being hungry in a short time can be a little agonizing.

Now it's up to you to make this tool worthwhile.there is no such thing as you can't.

I can say this.You got banded and went through with the surgery.The surgery can kill you.You made it through the hard part.

I have no idea how long you have banded.Otherwise I could probably ascertain how you're feeling and why..

I know that alot of people from far and wide come to Dr Wade Barker in Dallas.I had my banding done by him a couple years ago.He does great work...Barker Bariatrics

Ok here's my take on do you or do you not need more fill.As long as you're able to keep a bigger part of your meal down and also lose weight gradually.I wouldn't think you would need a fill.Again some of this is trial and error.If you can get to a point where the weight just peels off.with little to no effort on your part.Plus get your nourishment a.Then you're where you need to be.Most of the time.In the beginning of having a band.You may want to schedule appoints every 3 to 4 weeks.At least for the first year.You have to get to a point.Where you really don't think of your band as much and you're losing weight.Like its a normal part of your daily life.Plus your thoughts about food are only when you really need to feed your body

If you're a new bandster(6months or more).Try going to a rock concert.Boy,you can feel your stomach vibrate.Brings a new meaning to shake,rattle,roll

If you are not feeling any restriction and you're sort of new with this lapband system.Please be patient.Everyone is different so therefore the results on many of you will vary.The last thing you'd not want is complications from being filled too much.Sometimes less is better and you have to work with this system.If you had wanted a quick trick.The "sleeve" and the Roux n Y" and other techniques would've hastened your weight loss.I applaud each and everyone for taking the more conservative route.Sometimes great things and successful endeavors take time and patience.

I used Dr Wade Barker in Dallas.I felt he was good.Alot of people go to him from around the country.He does other types of Bariatric procedures.Barker Bariatrics.

I used Dr Wade Barker in Dallas.No complaints from me.Barker Baristrics

Maybe you could start one Kaye.you ask you can create it

You and only can make the decision on what happens to your body.im sorry your wifey isn't very supportive of your decision.Maybe she likes you the way you are now.I know that a body transformation can change your relationship landscape.Hope she doesn't get jealous when you look even better after your surgery.You might have to fight off the women.

Just relax.The Anastesia was the best.I never slept so good.Felt like I was in an out in a minite

Just relax and let that piece of tuna dissolve on its own.it should pass.Stay on your liquids...please : )

Turn up side down and have your bf pat on your back....no don't do that.

I have read some of these posts.The recommended amount of protein intake can do wonders for your hunger control and metabolism

I received 1cc last Friday which puts me at 7.5cc on a 10cc max band.Maybe this will be my sweet spot.my last fill before Friday was in January.I know I have been lax.

I'm a guy about an hour northeast of DFW.Commerce Tx.Feel free to lean on me a bit.Ive had my 10cc realize band for about 2years.I lost a lot of weight for the first year.Then in January of 2012 I had a fill to 6.5.I was complacent up to fri October 12.Then I went in for another fill.im sitting on 7.5cc right now.I do work out and I lift heavy.So I don't know if my weight gain could be attributed to that.I feel good and my friends say I still look good or even better.So this has been my life changer and story.I think this last fill will hopefully put in my sweet spot.By no means am I an authority on this.Still practicing to get it right

I don't know how far some of you are into your new band.You have to be patient.The doc doesn't want to overfill your band.That may cause some issues.If this is new to you.The doc could've punished you by putting way too much into your band.This would cause a whole lot of vomiting and major discomfort.Depending on the maximum fill of your band.Dictates how much you should have at each fill.It may take a while before you get the right amount into your band for maximum effectiveness.(sweet spot).just be patient and keep your doc informed.
