  4. I do love my band! I was asked this question yesterday by my daughter and said the samething yesterday after she heard me burping and then running to bathroom. Yes it has some side effects but I'm down 70 lbs since dec 2011 I feel better look better and I'm off bp and coloestrol Meds. I still have reflux at night but did I say I look good. Ha
  5. No back pain but I choke and throat burn terrible it happens in middle of night. I tried everything raised head of bed , nexium increase, all the over counter Meds that use to work but don't now then I tried this with tums it works for me
  6. Dawn I was same way but try to sugar free vanilla ice coffee at McDonald's it's very good and 120 cals one last me several hrs sipping and has all caffeine I need for a day
  7. I drink coffee now after band since I gave up sodas. I did give up caffeine for a little over a month and noticed that my band gets a little tighter when I drink coffee if I don't make sure to cont to drink my water.
  8. Could be gas pain but left rib area is also gall bladder pain area check with your dr and try taking gas x strips with pain to see if it stops pain. I had gas pains on left but not so high
  9. Have had sever reflux at night and now I chew 2 acidophilus and 2 Tum it has helped a lot. nexium didn't help. I still every once in while still wake up with it but not much.

  12. I still have this mind set and. Pay for it I am trying to train myself to eat several small meals but my mind and habits still want eat a full meal in one sitting. I am so use to over eating that even knowing I will be running to toilet I will still keep eating. I fill full but I want to finish my food. I bought smaller plates to help with this a cup bowl and small dinner plates help me have it measured but I really should be eating even less.
  13. After my last fill I have been very tight I think bands are very picky different times of day changes in weather alsorts of things change what and how much I eat. With every fill only two so far I have had to eliminate foods from my diet. I can not eat hardly any type of meat no matter how it's cooked well, I can still eat most sea foods. I tried drinking a green smoothly the other night and up it came i couldnt eat or drink anything else that night I drank it at noon next day no problem I seem to get tighter at night most people are tight in mornig? No rymhe or reason to it sometimes.
  14. I have had exact same thing 2 cc 1st fill and 1.5 cc second it's been a month now and just now able to eat any solid food past one or two bites. No more meat for me. I am holding out I don't want to go get unfills just eating a lot of protein drinks soups ect testing out some foods as I go
  15. 6 fills /unfills is pretty good amt. after my surgery insurance changed at my co and the do not cover any fills so now I'm self pay. My dr lowered Amy to be paid to 50 a visit so just ask most dr do give a break to self pay
  16. I love the shakes blend with coffee so good. The bars taste ok but cals are a little high
