I am so glad I read this post. I have problems with my band EVERY month when it is TOM. I didn't know if it was just me or what. It feels like my band gets super tight during TOM and I end up throwing up more...I have been pretty happy with my results- I went from 286 to 185. But I hate the monthly times when band gets so tight.

Hello- it is neat seeing all of these Nov 2010 banders in one spot! I was banded on Nov. 19th. I started at 286 and now weight 221. I turn 30 on April 18th and my goal was to be 220 by then...so, while I haven't reached that goal yet- I think there is hope that I will lose 1 lbs in the next couple of weeks! I haven't read all of the posts in this thread yet, as there are lots, but I am glad I found it. I am giong to the dr ( first visit with a new dr- one who is closer to my home) on Friday. I am going to ask her to remove a little Fluid from my band. I believe I am between 3-4cc. This past month has been miserable. I have thrown up more than I should have, some days I can eat something and the next day I can't. So- even though I don't want to have some fluid removed...I think it might be the best thing to do. I am afraid of getting a slipped band- terrified actually! When I first started, I was wearing size 26 clothes. I can fit into 18/20 clothes now...and wow- that feels great!!! Today to work I wore a pair of jeans that are size 21- and they kept falling off. Time to retire them I guess Cassandra

Hello! I just found this forum and I am looking forward to getting to spend some time reading about all you- or rather some, as there is a lot to read! I had the Lap Band on Nov. 19, 2010 and so far have lost 45lbs. I will have to add more later- out of time for right now.
