If I came to this forum pre banded and read that the band does not make you full, it satiate you, I do not know if I would have made this commitment, when I first read this being stated I really wanted to chime in but over the last few weeks it really does appear that there is certain "click" here and didn’t really want to be crucified ....Through my entire journey every professional has used the word "FULL" even when I go in for fills, they ask if I feel FULL between meal?......... all I know is that I just ate my 1/2 cup of lunch and I am "FULL” as hell and if I ate another bite I will puke. just sayin ...it is what it is
As far as the band leak they are not always found using fluro, I had two fills done with fluro and I had to have a Porta Gram done before they found mine but mine was in the port itself.

Ok i dont know why mis73 keeps telling everyone that the band is not suppose to help you feel full. Its designed to help you feel full, feel full longer and with less food. Heres a clip from the web

The lap band works by decreasing the size of the stomach as well as making the stomach feel full longer. The lap band makes you feel full by inflating a small balloon located inside of the device. This balloon can continually be inflated and deflated by outside control. It also allows the physician to expand the balloon if complications occur. To expand the lap band a small amount of saline solution is inserted into the device through an access port just underneath the skin
Now me personally feel full all day long when i dont even eat a damn thing. My stomach could be growling like a damn bear but i feel full/no hungry. Now its not designed to to make you feel stuffed or anything but it does help you to feel full plain and simple.

Well my orginal dr told me not to. I guess bc of the expansion of those types of foods. I'm not sure all i know is he told me not to. My new dr doesnt say much about what I'm earing morw about how much. Although he prefers fruits and vegs(what dr doesnt lol) but i get a rash of crap for having like a beagal although i only eat one side, or a roll, ect. I know its loaded carbs but i dont eat much through out the day..

Do you eat things you shouldnt, ex: bread Pasta rice, and still lose weight? Obviously not a whole lot but you really cant get away from these things... i get a veg and chicken bowl and it comes with rice.. or a chicken sandwhich and obviously bread. Sometimes i will either skip it all together or eat a little but I'm not very restricted so i kinda feel like its not taking away from anything...

I tried eating a doughnut and i about died! It hurt sooo bad!!

For one i am having the hardest time not drinking while i eat. Who doesnt need a drink after or while eating?? Second i dont understand either. Im thinking the same exact thing you are!

Ok I never get red faced so here goes. First of all it was not american pie it was road trip with the milking of the prostate. Second tossing salad is performing oral sex on someones anus. I enjoy doing this to woman along with fingers I am gentle and they have always loved it. due to the nerve endings in the anus this type of sex actually gives woman a different type of orgasm. I let a gf use a finger and felt nothing but she had small fingers. So I let her use a vibrator and it felt weird and I said ok stop. Turns out my anus was bleeding. I never let this happen again needless to say. I hope this helps any curious woman.

My dr also told me to take them for the rest of my life. My problem is remembering them! I have a five year old so in the morning hes getting ready for school im running out the door to work and i even tried taking them to work and i get so busy i forget! also it was too much of a hassle to try to remember one every 2 hours! I def still drink my Protein Shakes every morning

Ya i think they did it just to get an extra dr visit from my insurance. But it is very annoying and inconsiderate
