Sound like you have a tight restriction. That's the way I feel when I'm over full or tight. My tightness changes hourly. Sometimes I can eat one thing and it won't go down another. Make sure you tell your dr when go to get fill he may decide to wait a while. I felt just like you at puréed stage (could eat very little )and right after I got a fill.

Congrats. Hope you love your band as much as I do. It's a life changer!

Tried and true foods. I still am very carful to eat extra slow which isn't hard when I eat out with friends we gab a lot.

Yay. So glad for you. I on your heals. At 50 to go. Haa great job

I knw I'm very over but I never thought I could be with a man my wt Sooo ashamed to say that but it true. One thing I have to say is that I have had men I thought were ugly at first sight and their personality changed that and visa versa I have meet men I at first thought hot after getting to knw them I would look at them and see them as ugly. It actually changes how they look. Good luck hope you score a ten or two. Be safe. Ha.

I had my lb on dec 22 on jan 1 my co changed insurance I went in for first fill feb. my new insurance doesn't cover any bariatics so I have to self pay for fills at 200. A fill it's still worth it to me but I have to make sure to save for fills. Every insurance coverage is different it all depends on which coverage your co has my insurance is united health care and the do cover under some plans but not with the one my co choose Good luck. It's hard to check if the cover it prior to employment.

I've had since dec 22 but I also had foot surgery dec30. SO no walking exercise ect. I plateaued after 1 1/2 months. But now I can walk after non wt bear to part wt for 2 mOnths. And I got a full about 2 wks ago or so. Of 2 cc so starting to loose again.

Everyone throws up some until they find out what foods to avoid. The food I could eat before fill changed after fill and it takes time to eliminate some foods from diet. You don't just bring food bad up because of over tight band I can chew a bite of lettuce until its juice and it's coming back up but I can eat a slice of pizza no problem? Weird but that's the band and everyone is different.

I knw most people don't do this but when I vomit It's hard on stomach with dry heaving I got fill threes weeks or so a go and of course have been finding goods that don't agree with me anymore. So I've vomited once a week or so but with me as always nothing new here I vomit until dry heaving. The last time this happened a few days ago I noticed that hungry sooner and have decreased restriction. I also have slight pain on port side and port feels little higher than before. Any ideas? I already considered port flip but does that change restriction? Probably will make Appt just wanted thoughts. Has this happened to anyone else before?

A lot of people say they get cold after band I get hot. My skim is itchy too

I looked this up it sounds like a slipped band. The deflati for a few weeks for mild cases to resolve its self. Hope you have mild case and can start fills again.

I take 2500 mgs. And it's a very small liquid pills I have no problems taking about the size of a pea From nature made.

Yeah friends and family didn't stop me I had to make this decision on my own. Sooo glad I did it. Read lots ask questions. I wish I had done this younger. That's me!

I agree with 54shriley. That is the key to keeping band in place the port too. You should check into cost of fills here my insurance changed at work right after my surgery and now I have to self pay for fills at 200 a pop I've heard. Some quote cheaper cost. If you choose a band that may need more fills and with out fills band doesn't work you need to knw how much the cost in your area for fills? Good luck. Go with your best gut feels. Ha.

I don't understand? I had reflux before band I still take nexium Don't have problem unless I forget to take pill. Cannt you take any reflux mess?

I just had 1 week of low fat. He just said if it taste good don't eat it Ha. I just ate as low fat as possible lost 5 lbs and so happy to be dropping wt again after plateau for weeks. It happens. Welcome hope all goes well for you I'm very happy with mine

Biotin. I take one every day but haven't been banded that long. Sooo just trying to make sure. I have read post when people loose hair they take biotin and it helps. I also take cal multi and omega 3

Oh I was non wt bearing one month had to keep foot elevated most of the time. I had foot surgery 2 days after lb. I just got full wt bearing no more crutches. I'm walking on a tread mill 2 miles a day now and it has helped lots

I did loose wt without exercise for while 2 months. I wasn't able to exercise but it plateaued and thank god I can exercise some now and the wt is coming off again.

With backing like that you can not fail. God made this possible for you for a reason. God bless!

Haaa peeking!

I also had to post pone my surgery but had it soon after better safe than sorry.
