Apparently, they have had a lot of people come in with complaints about it and seeing as that was the only thing I had had before I started having problems, it kind of narrowed it down. Lol!

That's the truth. I was paranoid about it being a slip. I think they were also, seeing as I had been to see them since 2007. I feel good as new and everything looked great!

Well, it turns out that if you drink half a gallon of lemonade during a horse show, it may upset the acid in your stomach causing the lining to get aggravated. Once the lining was aggravated, it just pretty much shut me down when it swelled under my band. Lol! They just took some of my fill out and turned me loose. Instant relief.

I have been banded since 2004, operation done by Dr. Fromm in Dalton, GA by Weight Management. Dr. Fromm is one of the doctor's with Dr. Jaime Ponce. All was well & dandy until Saturday. On Saturday I seemed to notice that band was feeling tighter than normal, & seemed to be causing some slight pains. Saturday night, I was experiencing night cough, didn't sleep a wink. Pain still there, slight pb'ing (mostly saliva or whatever I drink) to just downright throwing up as I can't eat a thing, lots of bloating & burping that I normally do not have. I haven't had a fill in years. What in the world is going on with this thing? Any ideas? I will be calling weight management this am to make an appt. to see exactly was is going on. Back history: Biggest weight was 331. I am now down to 208.Goal weight on 180. Had my gallbladder removed a few years ago. No other issues, except I have no thyroid. It just quit a few years & needs to be removed.

Yes. I don't have any of the fitness games bc I just can't seem to have fun with them. I know the dance game we have is hilarious but tough. It will wear out. You get so dead set on beating a song that you just keep doing it & end up worn out. I am going to get Zumba next but will wait for it on the pre-owned game shelf at GameStop. If you get any of the games, I highly suggest reading the customer reviews on them on Amazon. It may save you some money. ETA: The dance game we have is Dance Central.

We have Dance Masters, maybe Dance Central. It isn't the one that does the freestyle dance but the one that breaks down the moves. We love it! It will kill you! Lol!

Absolutely! If you ever need anything or have questions, please let me know! I will you out the best I can!

I used Dr. Fromm with Hamilton Weight Management in Dalton, GA which maybe too far for you but I love them and they will go to extremes to try & help you.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone! I am new to the board but definitely not new to the band. I have had my band for 7 yrs & love every minute of it, I can even deal with my lone overfill of the three fills I have had. LOL! I have lost over 110 lbs and still have 40 left. I even got pregnant, never had anything unfilled, and had my gorgeous hellion without a hitch. LOL! Now.... to find a way to get that other 40 off me.
