private nurse, wow!!!! not me was banded on 1/14/11, and I have had issues, I slim a lot, and I hate throwing up, but good luck and remember it's a tool......

I had a HUGE needle put into my stomach, it was uncomfortable, I got 5cc my first fill and was down 42 pds when I went to see him, since than I have added spinning and the gym everyday except sunday due to work, and I don't think I have lost anything, not cheating, listening to my band, but I am sliming a lot....every other day, which is pissing me off................

Your doing better than I did, the gas I had was pain in my arms, chest, I was banded on 1/14/11 and since than have lost 42 pds. I have days where I can eat ok, and other days I eat and I throw up, All I can say is take it slow, listen to your body and do what feels right. Good luck and feel free to add me,..

Thanks for the support I am in the middle of trying to locate a new doctor as I am very upset with mine. I know this is my journey but when I go to someone who is suppossed to lend me good advice, has done this 1000's of times before, I want to believe he is leading me down the right path. I am starting to be able to eat somethings, when I get sick I do all liquids for 3-4 days, than puree than soft, I miss chicken, you would think I would miss something else, and I am missing chicken.... Oh I eat it and it comes right back up, grilled, soft chicken..... Thanks for the support and I will let you know how I make out.

How can you find out if you have to pay for fills??

I decided to get banded as we all have I needed to get in control of my weight, I am 5'11 and I was 265 pds, and although I didn't or would not qualify for surgery, I still had it done, my doctor I thought was a SAINT and now I am realizing I dislike this saint so much, I wanted someone to offer to help me and so far I have lost 42 pounds, but at what cost!!!! I throw up all the time, when I went to see him for my first fill I was 100% honest in telling him I was mad, I threw up all the time, almost every meal and what was I doing wrong?? He told me I was not chewing well enough and so I let him fill me 5CC, I now know this was a mistake, I feel like my doctor should be on my side and instead he is working against me, and there are days I don't eat solids due to being afraid of throwing up, my friends who know are supportive and my family is as well, but now everyone is thinking, you can;t even do this right?? WHY because I am thinking it!!!! I am so sorry I got banded, I am sorry I caved and I am so sorry I let my thyroid doctor talk me into this other doctor who I thought was going to help me......... I am not quiting, infact it's making me work harder and I am going to do this, I am taking spin classes 3 times a week and I love it, I am trying to work through this.....

I LOVE THIS BLOG!!!! SO TRUE...

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ER..good luck

going for my first fill 3/4/11, cant wait....

I had my lapband done on 1/14/11, and since than have lost 32pounds. Great right??? Well small issue everything I eat I throw up or I go to the bathroom and get sick, nothing is staying down, i called my doctor who told me, "it's normal to go through this".... I dont think he is getting it, I had a appt this friday and he moved it back to 3/4/11. At this point I am fed up and wanting this thing out, eating is a joke, I don't, I hope someone else out there has some advice, at this point I want it out and I want it out now.
