I was going to suggest you braid it and see how it goes, make sure you are washing though. I have locs so it's pretty easy for me. I feel your pain though, prior to getting my hair locked I too sweat like crazy and wore a pony tail most of the time. Good Luck!

Sorry to hear about your experience, I glad you were able to get some relief. I know that some Dr do add saline to some bands but they usually tell you. Mine informed me that I had 1cc in after surgery. I hope everything works out and good luck on your journery. <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif">

Congrats!! Good luck with the baby!!

I'm recently banded as well and my 1st fill was also 4cc to make mine a total of 5cc, my MD informed me that I might not see a big difference in my feelings of hunger, she told me not to feel bad but just to try and stay on track and eat healthy meals. The reason I say this is cause I told her that I didn't feel much of a difference and she told me that I might not. While I'm not hunger 2 hours after I eat , I feel that I'm able to get more than than 1 cup. I say just stick with it and try to drink you Water, that's what I'm doing and good luck!

I was using Vita Band but they were making me really sick. Now I'm using GNC powder Vitamins that I mix in with my Protein drinks. It's like thier mega womam Vitamin but it's powder and I get tons of engery from it.

Chobani also has kid flavors that are pretty good, you have to really stir it. banana and honey and berries. I also add some to my portein shake that way I get the extra Protein.

<P>That's awesome, keep it going!!!<IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif"> </P>

I like kettle bells as well, I have did a couple of classes at the gym with them. Very good workout, took my thighs 4 days to get back right. LOL

Congrats!!!!! Keep up the good work!!

I don't think 4 weeks is to soon, my Dr said that 4 weeks was good to go. I was 5 weeks post op last week before I did the class, but I have been doing cardio and walking alot. So give a try I think you will like it. GOOD LUCK!
