I'm curious, did he say what was causing the blood? Did you have that due to your band being too tight?

Hi, I recently got home from vacation during which I flew. I've noticed that the last couple of days I've been experiencing heartburn and getting nauseous while eating. I'm wondering if my band tightened from the plane ride (which is something I've heard can happen), or if there is something else going on that would necessitate a call to the surgeon. Any ideas? Does anyone else experience this during meals and what do you do to make it stop? It does go away pretty quickly once I stop eating, I'm just confused as to what is happening since I've never experienced this before. I've been banded 7 months...

Thanks everyone!

I'm flying to Vegas on Sunday and wondering if my port is going to cause any problems at the checkpoints. When I recently had a bone density test the port was in the way and the tech said it was a problem and had to do my arm also. I'm just curious if I'm going to set off the alarms or anything. Has anyone had any problems flying since being banded?

I don't generally comment on blogs, but your story touched me so much I have tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing! I, too, was banded 6 months ago and it is the best thing I ever did. I wish you continued success on your journey.

My last fill took a good two weeks to kick in. I was discouraged at first because I thought I was near restriction and didn't notice a difference. Two weeks later....HOLY COW....everything was getting stuck. One night my hubby was practically warming up the car to take me to ER I had such a bad episode. I'm supposed to get another on Wednesday, but not sure I need one. I don't want to get too tight, especially since I'm flying to Vegas the beginning of April. So, my answer to your question is, yes, it IS possible for the fill to take a while to kick in!

Ok, I figured it out. Yay! I can be found by looking for my email addy which is sharilo18@gmail.com.

I can't seem to figure out how to add friends in fitbit. I don't know if it's because it's Monday morning or if it's because I'm just a doofus. Can someone please help me?

I, too, love the Isopure. Grape is my favorite. It's funny how everyone has different tastes. While I love the Isopure, I can't stand the taste and smell of unjury. It's all personal preference.

Ok, I did a bit of a test last night. I couldn't see my stats on my phone until the fitbit synced to the computer through the internet. It somehow has to get to the website for it to get to your phone as the phone app and web app work hand in hand. Do you have internet at home? I'm only able to sync mine while at home so during the day I just look at the device itself to see how I'm doing. I'm sorry if this isn't clear or answering your question. I hope it helps a little.

Sign in to myfitnesspal and then click on the tools tab. Near the top on the right it shows a picture of a couple of fitbit ultras and says learn more about fitbit ultra in blue letters. Click on that and it takes you to an area where you can link both together. Keep in mind when logging on fitnesspal it only shows a meal summary on the fitbit site. It does transfer the calories, Proteins, carbs etc, but it doesn't list each individual food eaten.

LOL, don't be sorry! You don't need wifi but you may need some sort of internet connection. I'm going to test it tonight as I have it on my phone as well as my laptop. I will turn off the internet to my laptop, put my fitbit on the base and then check my phone to see what happens. I'll let you know what I find out.

Ahhhhhh, I understand your question now. You don't need to have wifi to use and sync the fitbit, but you do need to have an internet connection to get to the website. You won't be able to access your data on a computer unless you are somehow connected to the internet, be it through wifi or cords. Hope this helps a bit more. Also, you can change the goals so you can work your way up to 10,000 steps.

Thanks Alex! I just downloaded it.
