I am on a plateau too. My weight goes from 171-174 daily. I guess it is fluid but it is starting to get on my nerves. I do weights every other day for about 30-40 mins a day. Don't feel alone.

Starting to feel results in my jeans.

Thank you Dr.JLo, I may need to give you a call.

Thank you, I will look into all this.

Do plastic surgeons work out deals with you when you are getting a number of areas done? How much does a bodylift cost on average?

I tried doing sit-ups but it feel like my port would detach, it was really hard.

My insurance is switching to a cheaper deductable through work and it goes in effect on the 1st. I see my lapband Dr. on the 4th so I hope I can put it off for a little while, I havn't had a really bad attack since Dec. Another symptom I think I have is nausea, I just ate dinner and I am really nausea.

I am not worried about my stomach, its my boobs they look horrriable. I need a lift with implants! I will try and get that done some time next year.

Yes the pain felt like it was in my left breast all over the left side and into the back. The pain is not stabbing anymore but every once in a while I can still feel the feeling is still slightly there in my back area. I will get checked after the 1st of Feb. Thank you!

I drink like every other weekend. To tell you the truth since being banded I have never had a hang over. It it so crazy, I use to get hung over pretty often but dunno why I don't anymore. I drink what I want, but I am not a beer person. There is this carbonated drink I buy in the can that is like a entergy drink with alcohol in it that the beer company makes and I really like that but you don't need more than 2 cans. oh and I drink it on ice.

I have searched a good bit but everything on the gallbladder, says the pain is on the right side. I know the pains are stabbing and the deeper you take a breath the more it would hurt. I felt like I didn't want to breathe. thanks so much for the info.

Jax, it sounds like the same thing you had.

My insurance is switching the 1st of february, so I won't do any test till after. Did the pain stay there for a couple hours or days? My lasting about 2 days and then the next 2 time only lasted like a couple of hours. I haven't had the pain since last week.

I don't know but it started around Thanksgiving, I have been craving and eating a lot of sweets. I don't know whats wrong with me. I for sure thought the scale would crept up but it hasn't. I'm trying my hardest to stay away from it! THe thing is once I take one bite, I can't stop myself from the next, its like an addiction.

Redgirl, how many fills have you had? Tomorrow is a year I was bannded, I lost an average of 5lbs or so per month. Total 70lbs.

My Tom has been starting a week early every month since surgery. Pms has been really horriable. Went to the doc and she gave me some kind of fluid pill to take when feeling like I'm about to explode. Mine is pretty wacked since bandded.

Yes, I hated salads now I crave it.

Well I have completed my week! I hope this week to get in some cardio. It has been really cold and rainny here this week. I hate the cold now!!!!!!!!!

Every so often since last month I am having sharp stabbing pains on my left side and the middle left side of my back. Pain worsens with deep breaths. The pain stays for a few days and then goes away. I notice when I drink a lot of caffeine it tends to come back. Went to the Family doc and she advised it may be my Gall Bladder. She checked for bladder and kidney infection but that was negative. She said the gallblader pain is usually on the right side but something could be causing the pain to be on the left side. What do you think? She told me to call my lap-band doctor to see if they ever heard of anything like this.

I now have Sun, Tues, Thurs and hope to complete my week Saturday.

Right , I'm in Raceland. I'm self pay and at the time they were the cheapest.

I caught a virus 2 weeks after being bandded. I noticed too that you can't throw up if nothing is in your little stomach but I did have some phenergan, so I took that and thank goddness I didn't pop any stiches from dry heaving. I will ask the doctor next time I go for a script of phenergan to keep on hand.

I wouldn't think so!

I was on Zoloft, I have been off for about 6 months. I have PMS really bad 2 weeks before my cycle. I am going back to the doctor to get on something for that. Does nyone have any suggestions on what workd great for PMs.
