I have a very imaginative mind LOL!!! It was just a thought….

I can't imagine any Dr doing this. Changing his mind before he put the needle in yes maybe, afterwards - no way!

I may be wrong but I bet the other doctor decided not to give you a fill once he stuck the needle in but it was too late so he pretended to have issues! LOL! I know my office keeps track of how much is in me so your LB doctor would have found out that somebody else gave you a fill. Maybe he didn't want to be responsible if something went wrong with the fill?

It's not that bad LOL! I was scared my first time also.

I hope you are successful!!!

Congrats!!!! I hope you have a healthy journey and baby!

I just got back from Vegas and I didn't have any issues with getting tight. I was scared the scanner would show I have an implanted device and not let me on!!! LOL!

Maybe it hurts her or something. I have a friend that said it hurt for years while having sex but never told her husband. She finally went to the doctor and found out she had a fibroid. She didn't want him to leave her or cheat on her so she kept it a secret. I would have never went that long without getting checked out but everyone is different. She was scared she had cancer and didn't want to go to the doctor to get the bad news. She didn't even have cancer so she waited for nothing and had painful sex for about 2 years. I'm sure it could be a hundred reason's why she doesn't want to do it but....I guess your wife wouldn't have fibroids because they would have seen that when she was pregnant but some women have issues just from being penetrated.

Congrats! I'm glad to see that you are six years out and still doing well!!! Your story gives me some inspiration to keep on going!

Awwww Congrats!!!!

Oh, I wouldn't pay $80.00 just to ask questions!! LOL! Oh, btw your title says surgery date 5-25-12 and that's why Elcee thought you was on your pre-surgery diet...I think eggs are a good source of Protein for breakfast so you should be okay. You can eat a Protein Bar after your shake.< /p>

Sorry.

My acid reflux came back at almost two years of being banded. It happend one month after I got my last fill. I had an unfill and it's much better. I haven't lost any weight since that unfill and I am very disappointed that I can't get another fill because of the acid. I am trying to just do better with a low carb diet.

Congrats!

Congrats!!!! I am not sure about your insurance policy but my approval was only good for 1 year.

Just wondering if anyone else is dealing with this? Also wondering if I'm not eating enough calories... hmmm.. whichever it is, I'm only down 10 pounds since surgery. I started out @ 339 pounds and eat mostly Protein throughout the day, not many carbs. And calories are usually less than 800, but I'm usually not hungry between meals. Any suggestions?! I'm really starting to question getting the band in the first place...

Well, like most of us you probably lost a lot of Water weight at first. Water weight comes back sometimes when you get off of your liquid diet. Please give your body some time to adjust to introducing solids back.

It's weird that they make some people lose weight before surgery because I had a bmi of 60 something. I weighed 373 when I went in for my initial consult....maybe it has something to do with how much fat you have around your stomach area?

Hello Feb 2010 Bandsters! Congrats to all that made it to goal and to those that are still maintaining. I got married in Sept and it's been downhill from there! LOL! I pretty much stopped working out and eating right. I am back to working out on a regular basis and eating way much better. I had a hard time adjusting to being married and finding time to take care of me. I think I got it now!

where do you find liquid for adults? I looked at Walmart and all i found was the kind for kiddos.

They pulled it from Wal-Mart but they still have it at CVS but its the generic brand. I can't tell the difference.

Thanks for writing this! I enjoyed reading it.

I am starting over again too. I got married 6 months ago and have gained 4 pounds a month since then........I was a slow loser too like you said, but at least I was losing. I joined Curves yesterday. I plan on going to Curves 3 times a week and to my other gym 3 times a week. I didn't know how to adjust shopping for two people, going out to eat (honeymoon phase), and cooking for two people. Before I got married I only cooked for myself and I ate the same foods over and over again. My husband told me he was going to eat chicken breast and sweet potatoes everyday! LOL! Sorry to read about your mother. My mom passed in 2007 and I gained 25 pounds right after she passed in a few months. Some people stop eating when they get sad but I eat more....I wish you well on this journey.

Congrats to all of you on your babies!

I'm going off topic.....your IPHONE had me LOL! OMG! I tried typing on my kindle and I hate it.

Thanks for posting this. I think I am going to make some this week. I have a pouch of salmon that's been in my cabinet for a couple of months now and I need to use it.

I already knew I had sleep apnea because I had all of the symptoms! Falling asleep at the wheel at 9AM...loud snoring....gasping for air while sleep...and feeling tired all the time no matter how long I slept. Sleep apnea is a very serious condition for some of us. Oh, to answer your question, it wasn't unexpected...lol!
