Hi all,

New to site...but am post-banded for a year (9-13-06)...have only lost 59lbs....(frustrating)....had a problem with fills...the first one in November 06 was a dud....doc didnt know what she was doing and didnt get any Fluid in band (but she sure got paid)...next fill was in April....finally found a doc who knew how to do it....so i call that my 1st fill...lost 25lbs between then and 8-10-07 (2nd fill)...since 2nd fill weight loss has been so slow that i am wanting to kill people (lol)....only lost about 7lbs...my question is ...how do u know if your band has slipped?:help:

I am so scared of this it freaks me out...I dont wont to lose my band....I fought too hard to get it. My surgery was done in TJ and was absolutely trouble free...no pain med at all....was up in the mall walking and shopping the next day...just a little soreness, but nothing to cry about...an absolutely wonderful experience....:clap2:

had some pb's early on...but learned how to stop that...havent had in any in months...

very limited on what i can eat...very little meat, no bread, no salad, very little veggies....lots of Soup (ugh)....anything crunchy i can eat....go figure...crave milk...drink it 2/day...in am and pm....my diet sucks....get so tired of the same things...good days and bad days....

so someone please help me.....

thx,
