  1. I am always constipated! Embarassing I know! I have no desire to drink and I barely eat, veggie kill me! I have the lap band! Also got a hemorrhoid from hell that im too ashamed to go in and have checked! Seems like when I was drinking almond milk I had no issues!
  2. I have depo and for a year now and nothing just more bitchy lol
  3. Did you finance this or did insurance pay it? I'm an 8 and 170 and I'm sure with a tummy tuck I could be much smaller!
  4. Had same problem got .03 cc removed and I'm s whole new person. Don't ever suffer from being too tight not worth it
  5. No I was too tight! I was able to page my doctor and meet her at her office and I'm soooo relieved! I can actually drink and eat. I couldn't even tolerate a Popsicle last Nite. Well worth the two hour drive
  6. So I got a lap band fill on Tuesday the 23rd, it's been well over a year and half since last one and every turn I get one I barely get like 1/4 cc cuz I'm super sensitive. Well I got 1/2 a cc and I just don't know. I wake up at nite coughing and I seem to do fine in day with fluids but I'm barely drinking anything im so scared. And since its a holiday weekend I have to wait till Monday. I don't care if I don't eat but it's the fluid intake that worries me. And coughing anytime I lay down but I don't feel tight! Any info will help
  7. Size 10 maybe an 8 now and size med/lg tops
  8. Banded in Feb 2011, already lost 80 lbs. So I'm now 170 lbs and feel good! Just need to work out more and hopefully get to my goal of 150 and then get a tummy tuck! Yay!
  9. I have between 28-25 lbs to my goal and it's just taking forever. It just won't come off! I am already very sensitive to fills so if I get another one it will most likely be too tight for me. 1/2 of a cc is too much for me sometimes. I have these rolls of flab and I swear that's the 25 lbs I need to lose! Just needed to vent!
  10. No I can still eat and all that I just really think my asthma is affecting it and it just sucks! And wth the weather being cold, I am always cold!
  11. I was told no tortillas bread rice and pasta and it's true! I cannot tolerate it at all
  12. So got my last fill a month ago and it was 1/4 cc because I can't tolerate a lot. Finally feeling the effects and usually drink warm liquids when I first wake up helps but no lately. Don't know if it's the cold weather or what. But it kills me even when I drink liquids sometimes! Ugh! And maybe due to my asthma flare up as well! Don't know!!
  13. Size 10 now and 184
  14. It's really really loud and it's become a nuisance!
  15. Oh another thing, I am so sensitive with fills I can only get 1/4 cc anymore and I can't handle it, you might be one of those people
  16. Last time I had that issue it took me almost two weeks to eat solids, try liquids for a week or so and every time it comes back up again you become swollen
  17. So I been banded for almost 2 years (Feb 11) and lately and I would say more since my last fill on Dec 11th, I have been having gurgles more and more when I go to bed. I make sure I don't eat and lay down, and sometimes when I wake up in middle of nite it just starts up and it's sooo loud and annoying it wakes up my bf. I don't know what to do to make it be less and my surgeon told me at last appt it meant it was time for a fill and or I am hungry, but I am not. Any advice?
  18. Down to 185 and size 12 in pants and lg in shirts, 45 more lbs to goal!!!!
  19. My doc said if I'm not hungry then it's fine don't eat as long as I drink plenty of water, take vitamins and drink my protein shakes.
  20. Heat does tighten it and when I went to Vegas I made sure to drinks lots of water and gatorade and it helped!
  21. Maybe it's half a cc I don't remember butt surgeon told me my amount is little compared to others but everyone is different
  22. I only get .05 cc at evey full and that's a lot for me at a time. Take it out and have very little put back in. The pain and misery is not worth it
  23. Yes I finally made it to "Onderland" 195! Hopefully I can now squeeze into a size 12! So happy ad so thankful for my fills that helped!!! Yes yes yes! My surgeon will be so happy when I go on the 19th!!!
  24. I cannot eat any bread, chips, tortillas, rice, or pasta! Makes me eeew
