Hi Jojo, yeah I would say you should get a fill, I would say just do a half cc to just ease into it. I went about 6 months without a fill and found that I was starting to get down more then what I should and I was plateauing and not losing. I'm struggling right now with not being able to find the right restriction and I have lost a little then gained a little so I know what you are experiencing. So I would say yeah go for a fill.

Sandy,

It's funny that you say today you went 6 months without a fill yet in the other thread, you just posted on Friday that you weren't even banded yet and were going to Mexico after the Jill incident. Troll much???

It's pretty obvious there are several trolls on the forum that have just joined in the last while to "weigh in.":rolleyes:

Two questions from this old gal?

1. What is trolling?

2. How do you spell when you are "loosing or it is losing" weight. :w00t::thumbup:

Hi Doddie,

Proper spelling is "when you are losing weight".

Trolls are people that post under false username to instigate or attack or accuse because they are intimidated or afraid to use their real identity. Some posters have several different usernames others less. Often lately on this thread for instance a person will post for the first time to slam someone else, be it a clinic, person, etc. Then you never hear of them again for a long time. lol

By the way Doddie, you are not an old gal. :w00t:

I was banded may 2007 and lost 40 pounds over the first year. I have now gained 12 pounds and have noticed that I can eat things I couldn't before ie bread, muffins etc. Has anyone else experienced this and if so could it be that my band has stretched? I am wondering if I need to have a fill which I havent done for over a year.

JOJO, for sure get into the clinic and get a fill... the BAND dosn't stretch, our pouch does if you constantly OVER FILL it... Only eat until your are full, don't eat another bite after that and you'll never have to worry about stretching your pouch or having your BAND slip...

Get back on the TLBC menu and get those 12 lbs off before they become 15

I didn't know people could leave you comments on your profile. Did you have to give permission for that?:smile:

I don't think you are in trouble. You spoke what you knew without naming someone, which I understand is within the rules of this site. No matter which side of the coin we are on, there has been some nasty dustups in the past and hopefully the firm will pull up its socks and get on with the business for what they are good at. I and other clients need them to be focused on our needs.

no i did say her name. So i guess that was a no no. I was hoping that the big changes would help things out with slimband and their customers. I havent had to call them since my last fill. I hope things have improved for all who is taking this journey with them.

Yep, there are some ugly brawls going on in Rant and Raves. No one has been evicted so far.

hold that thought. It is great to have a site that we are not blacklisted because we have a moment of anger, frustation and post something that is inappropriate. I don't mind being corrected provided I am told why but I still hold dear the concept of "freedom of speech".

Seems fair to me. I participate in those brawls. I am always admired as the fair and, well, well-spoken Canadian. I don't give into my Judge Judy fantasies. lol

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
