  1. Happy 58th Birthday Sind2fo!

  2. I had my band put in Feb 09. Before I had my first fill my left hip hit bone on bone. It was pretty shot anyway and I wanted to start walking... So, 11/09 I had hip surgery, and then a redo due to infection 2/10. I was sooo discouraged to not be able to start the fills. It wasn't till May or June of 2010 that I started getting fills. I didn't feel anything the first two times. The third time I could't keep anything down. I swear, if anyone thinks thinks this is a cure or simple or easy, please read these posts. It is not simple. It has taken me a year to lose one dress size. The person who said it is all about restriction has had the best answer! We are all different. People who know I had the band put in keep asking why I haven't last a lot of weight. This is not a bypass either. I am at a place that if I eat the right foods, in the right amounts I lose. I am still not able to be real active because of other things I won't bore you with, but hang in. Weigh and measure, be active if you can and good luck to all in this journey!
  3. I had my band surgery Feb 2009. Small slow fill at first. Started having sever lower back and hip pain and stopped losing! Turn out I had been bone on bone left hip for approx5 yrs. That surgery resulted in an emergency surgery approx. It has been a yr and the fill I am at is partially restrictive and I am not losing much at all. Now I am having acid reflux wake me up choking on bile. Keeps me awake and have even bought a wedge for bad nights. Is this happening to anyone else regardig this or similar? Seem worse if I wake up having rolled onto my stomach in any way. Please share what you have had happened. Thank you!!
