I am having some issues with not being able to get my band adjusted just right. I have had it for 3 1/2 years and have lost about 160 pounds. For the last year I feel that I have been just constantly messing with the band. I will get a fill then I will have a night time cough so I will go back and get what I had put in removed then it will seen like I can eat too much so I will get a little more put in and then it will be too tight again. I want to lose another 30 pounds and it just seems to be getting harder and harder to get the band adjusted just right. Is anyone else having any issues like this. I want to get a Tummy Tuck next fall but I would like to be done losing weight before I do that.

I'm in the same position I'm now on my 3rd unfil, I get some taken out and the weight starts to go on, but if I increase my fill to a level where I start to loose weight I start the night time coughing, I'm so tired from not being able to sleep but I'm due for an unfil in two days, but dread the fact the band wont be filled enough to influence my weight. I need to loose 26lb but its just not happening. Sorry to moan but its so frustrating. mmm

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
