I have been having a lot of issues with my tail bone. I can not sit for long periods of time without having pain. I have lost almost 100lbs and wonder if this is related to it and is there a solution?

265 - 178

I am down to 178 from 265 and now I am more ashamed of my body than before. My husband loved the bigger me and accepts the smaller me..but I am having trouble being intimate with my husband because of the hanging skin. I use to prance around proudly in my outfits as a big girl now you wont catch me in any light without being fully dressed..my thighs are the worse. We went to Vegas and in the restroom of our room was a full size mirror, first time I seen my new body and it was ghastly..i look like a Sharpe. Has anyone have this issue and what is the best thing to do? I feel my self esteem is going away with the weight. I actually thought I would love the new me, but I don't. Please help.

I take vitamins. When I go to my next appt I will bring it up. I swear it looks like I haven't brushed a day in my life but I know I do daily and dentist on the regular

Is anyone having trouble with their teeth since being banded. I was banded last year and since then my teeth are now full of cavities. I went from needing 1 fill to 11. I am pretty good at caring for my teeth at home but this has stumped me. Any other or any ideas?

we all are in the same boat..coming on here helps us get thru the rough waters.

i got the fill on the 13th..did the liquids just about the whole time..did try a little roasted chicken but that was a no go..then on last wed I finally accepted defeated and went to have the unfill done..I was still swollen for a couple day but not I am eating fine..used to feel like a vice grip was around my stomach but that feeling is gone away along with the heartburn and vomiting. I am trying not to over eat lol but going a week with no food its hard, I will get back in my regular routine soon.

I went to the er last time I was too tight and they told me there was nothing they could do for me because they didn't have the means for my care. At the time I didn't have the money for the 3 hr drive. I was devastated. Very sick cuz I couldn't even take my meds and nowhere to go. But luckily a neighbour took me. I know better now and keep an emergency stash at all times. Good luck and keep us posted.

I just went thru same thing except mine got progressively worse. My dr is 3 hrs away do I held out a week even though I had started vomiting in my sleep at night. They took out .25 cc and I feel so much better. Took a couple days for the swelling to go down but now I'm eating again. Only coffee in the mornings though. Can't seem to stomach anything in the mornings.

Ty so much for all the ideas

I just had .25cc removed wed. Had fill last week and it made me too tight. I was vomiting in my sleep and miserable. Was still able to eat but was still horrid at night. I feel better. Still have a tight feeling in my chest but dr said my tummy swollen so take a few days to go down. But there is a big difference a lil unfill will make.

I can make it from home. Most likely what I will do. Tuna sounds great. Didn't think about that. Went into panic mode and couldn't sort things out in my head. Apple sauce sits heavy in my chest for some reason. Imma see if I can find the cool packs. I live in the deserts of California so a lot of convient stuff is not available. 45 min to nearest town.

Am going on an outing next week. One of the requirements is to bring a bag lunch because we will be out all day. I can not eat breads and hard fruits, so what is the best things to pack so that I don't get hungry and I am not outcasted because I'm not eating with everyone else. Not very many ready to eat foods out there.

i did soup for 3 days and tried to build back up to solid foods, but still having issues with some foods..im waiting on the dr office to open to see what they say. im aready preparing they will make me come in to take out some.
