Thank you all for your comments I am feeling a bit better about it today.

I have spoken to my dietician and she is over the moon with my progress

do I guess I need to keep chipping away at the weight.

Like some of you say It didnt go on overnight so It wont come off that way either.

Thanks again.

I havent been on here for a while. I was banded Jan 2012 Since

then I have lost a total of 35lb. Which dont get me wrong I think

is fantastic (I could never have done that on my own)

My question to other banders is does this seem a fair amount to loose

in 4 1/2 months ??? I do understand everybody looses weight at

different rates but I just didnt want to be too impatient but then

dont want to get annoyed either as its coming off and I never gain.

Just looking for someone's advice with a little more experience of the band

than I have.

HI Im still new to all this and I am just over 2 weeks post op.

I find I am struggling with my appitite as its almost the same as before having

the band fitted. I am trying not to over eat as I dont want to damage my band

but find im hungry a lot !!!!

I wasnt really expecting this is this normal until I get my first fill ??

What has everyone else done if this has happened to them ?

Sorry just a little deflated by it today.

Yes exactly the same feeling I have, At least I know im not alone and that

it probably is wind. Thanks

my left side. Whan I wake up in the morning it is still there. The pain goes in the day time

but come back souble in the evenings. Im a little worried this is becasue maybe im eating

too much not sure. Can anyone relate to this at all ????

Can I just ask if anyone suffers with any problems going to the toilet properly ???

Its just I have problems with this prior to WLS Im only on pre op diet and this has

started to be a problem already.

I asked my surgeon about this and he said I would be fine.

But im worrying that after my op this is going to be a big problem for me.

Does anyone else suffer with the same problem if so do you have any solutions.

I would really appreciate some help on this subject.

Thanks
