You look fabulous, and I love your positive attitude. YOU CAN DO THIS. When you have a setback or a bad day, pictures are a great reminder of just how far you've come. Congrats and keep up the great work!!

Yay...way to go! When I plateaued I watched my measurements too...really helped me when I didn't see the pounds going down on the scale to know the inches were still melting away! Congrats

No question is stupid hun...we all learn from each other...sometimes I think we learn more from each other than from the Doctors.

YOU CAN DO IT>>>>welcome to the journey. I would do it over, even with the slip I had. Things happen and you pick up and go forward. I've learned more on this site in the last week....and I've been on my adventure for 18 months. Everyone is a little different but the support is amazing. Good Luck!

For me...seems like my stomach is way more sensitive since the band. I personally had to go through the ER because I had moved from another state and was battling trying to find a Doctor to take over my care. Although going through being sick and having surgery to fix my slip was a nightmare...I found a phenominal Doctor in the process.

I love #1 and what a great way to treat yourself....and what a day for you in the office. How fun, I love hearing things like that...they make you feel so good about yourself...he he he. Keep it up girlfriend...you got it going on )

Slowly but surely I'm recovering and feeling better....stronger every day. I think my body is wiped out still from being so sick, but I'm making progress and my strength is coming back. I actually walked two miles today with daughter, felt great to get outdoors. No need to worry...Doc said I could walk walk walk :drool: but I'm still on liquids for another 5 weeks. Thank you everyone for your continued support...Your all Amazing!!!

Have you tried completely unfilling and starting over....gradually and slowly like you did when you first got your band??? Just a thought, but maybe going back to clear liquids, then soups, mush...etc...and reintroduce food to your system....really slow like 6 weeks. Hope things get better for you.

Thank you so much...this has been the best site, all of you are amazing. Together WE CAN DO This!! All the support has been phenominal!!

My Doctor doesn't do fills until after 6 weeks.

I want to scream and run out of my house. I never thought in a million years I would ever say I LOVE TO EXCERCISE...its my new drug. I cannot wait to go back to the Dr.'s tomorrow and hopefully get released back to a normal routine. Having surgery for this Slippage is not going to bring me down, it just motivates me to stay stronger!!!

Ahhh Fire Girl me too ) but I guess I'll take it for now and WALK WALK WALK. My Doc appt. went well though and I'm on liquids for another 5 weeks...wheww this is gonna be a tough one. He did increase my protein drinks to 5...8oz. a day to hopefully slow down the weight loss. I'm now 5 under goal...whooaaa I never thought that would happen. We can do this!!!

Finally loving me!

I LOVE IT!! Thank you for sharing...you will get there...stay strong and push forward. YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Thank you so much for responding to my Blog. Knowing I can help one person...well, that is all that matters. My slippage was caused from vomitting associated with the Flu. The pain in which I had in my abdomen was so unbearable that I had my daughter rush me to the Emergency Room. After getting the vomitting and pain under control the ER Doctor had me do a Barium Swallow and the Slippage was detected....my Lapband was unfilled by the Bariatric Specialist on-call and I was told to wait to see if it would slip back into place. Two days later the pain was still so unbearable and I ended up having Emergency Surgery for the Repair. I'm now on my way and recovering well!
