Did I Mess Up Already?
I was banded Oct 07 2011. I have had 3 fills. However before my last fill i was finally getting i to my green zone. (i think) however my doctor gave me 1cc more of a fill. BUT now im hungry! I can eat more than i have in a while and i dont stay full. Will my body recognize this last fill. Or did i mess up?

I Need Support--thinking About Getting Lap Band Removed...
Research is crucial. It keeps us from making split second decisions. As far as meat that xould very well be your restriction and maybe you just havent been listening. An "cheating" by eating slider foods. For me to eat meat it has to be moist too but i dont use sauces because most of them are empty cals. I baked chicken closed up in aluminum foil to keep it moist. Fish is pretty easy too. I hope you find out what works for you

Vomiting...14 Days Post Op...need Advice
U def. over did it. If u had surgery on 12/19 then u are still in your second week. Fluids only. No solids or meat. Sorry. Go back to fluids let your pouch heal. The blood could be from irritation from vomiting but if your worried then def call your dr. Hope you feel better soon

Shingles??? Anybody Else
Causes, incidence, and risk factors After you get chickenpox, the virus remains inactive (becomes dormant) in certain nerves in the body. Shingles occurs after the virus becomes active again in these nerves years later. You need plenty of rest fluids an ur medicine. I understand the sugar concern im a low carber too. But the amount wont be much an you WILL recover quicker taking it. Hope you feel better soon

You Say The Band Didn't Work
Thanks 2b. I've lost now 20lbs. Im happy with that so far. Im going for another fill monday so that should help. I am actually a low carber now AND i count my cals. I try to stay between 800-1000 cals daily and get all my protein in. Somedays r easier than others but i keep trying. Im currently upping my workouts. But i try to "listen" to my tool. When i do that an log my food i do well.

Approval Seems A Bit Too Easy.
With my healrh ins. I had to do 6 months weight management 2 nutrition visits a phys visit and have a bmi of 40. What to do in this case is to always get it in writing. Call the ins. company ask for the specifications for this procedure and to send them to you. But be careful usually if its to good to be true it....
