I had surgery 9 months ago and everything went great. Since then I have had limited weight loss and hardly any restriction. Yesterday I recieved a fill bringing my band to 5.5cc's. Today I began having difficulty breathing. No pain, it just feels like I'm laboring to catch my breath. I have experienced anxiety attacks in the past and the feeling is similar. I called my Dr's office to be sure that it is not related to the band. The nurse said the Dr. was unavailable and that I should go to the ER and have the band deflated as a precautionary measure. It has taken me 9 months to get to 5.5 cc's, I don't want to start over. Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm not sure what to do.:)

Sorry you're having problems but I'm a newbie so I don't have any advice. I'd call the dr.'s offcie back and insist on a call back, though. You deserve the proper attention.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
