loseit

Banded in 2012. Lost 60# but I have gained back 40#?. I can’t feel restriction now. Have I stretched my pouch. Anyone else??

http://I get a fill today. Going to give it two weeks to see if things change. Dr says it should be pretty tight. If after two weeks I may have a upper GI to look and see what things look like. Praying restriction is back.

I am gaining weight and I can not feel restriction anymore. I was banded 2/2/2012. I have had fill after fill and still they same. What do I do?

I too am a slow loser. I have only lost 25lbs since I was banded on 2/2/12. I go back for a fill next week and I hope I finally get to the green zone.

What about Phillips Milk of Mag capsules? Has anyone tried those? Sometimes they help me and sometimes they don't. Anyone Else?

I was banded 2.2.12. I was off for 3 days. I did not and have still not told them about my WLS. I told them I need to be off to for personal reasons. Your right, "Its not any of their business". Don't tell anyone who you think might stand in your way.

My weight loss is very slow. Banded on 2/2/12 and only down 24lbs. I had my 8th fill today and I hope this puts me in the green zone. I really wanted to be 40-50 lbs down by now. So hang in there and I will try to do the same.

I had my 8th fill today. I have always been told, "clear liquids for 24 hrs, then soft foods 24hrs then regular food. I got really hungry so I ate some solid food. I feel fine. Why should I wait to eat, if I can eat without a problem?

I have 6.5cc in a 10cc band. I am not in the green zone. I go in for my 8th fill on Monday. I sure I hope this is it. I am getting disappointed that I have not lose as much as I thought I would by now. I feel like I am starting a new diet everyday just like I before getting my band.

I was banded 2/2/12 and some days I have restriction and a lot of days I don't. I have 6.2cc in a 10cc band. I go back on 7/30 for my next fill. I hope I get perminent restriction after this next fill. I have only loss 25 lbs so far. I need to loss 50 more. I need to get this ball rolling.

Thats my goal! Banded Feb 2, 2012. Thanks so much for sharing your success! Congrats!

Is there an after taste or chalking texture?

I am looking for protein supplements? I recently bought some Healthwise supplements from a weight loss clinic. they are good but expensive. Does anyone use the Unjury supplements advertised on the forum? Looking for suggestions.

I used Dr. James Wellborn in Little Rock. Paid 11K out of pocket. Banded 2/2/12. down 28 lbs so far. I am happy with my band and doctor. Good Luck

right side!

I freaked out too when my hair started coming out. It still is, but I am better now at taking my vitamins and getting more protein. Don't quit. You want so bad to loss the weight just Iike I do. I paid out of pocket for this band and I am determined I am going to be thin. take your vitamins, eat your protein, and please try to decrease your stress. Don't quit..

chips, Chips, Chips! They are my weakness. I wish I could getting away from them..

I have been losing my hair the pass two months and mine is very fine & thin. Scary... I am taking mulitvitamins and biotin. Hope my hair loss stops soon. I am down 24 lbs since banded on2/2/12.

I had my 7th fill this week. 6.6cc in a 10cc band. Very little restriction. Sometimes I think I am almost there, but I can eat way too much. down 24lbs since 2/2/12. My stomach is growling as I type. I am not there yet...

My doc always numbs the port area before a fill. I did fill the fluid going through the tube and into the band on the first fill. It did not hurt, just a tightening of the band. I liked being able to feel it cause that allowed me to know where the band was and that it was actually there. I hope you have a better experience on your next visit. Ask them to numb the port site. If they can't find a doctor who will. You should not be in that much pain. Good luck

How do you know your band has slipped?

I had my 7th fill yesterday and I am eating regular food today. I don't have a problem eating, but I am very cautious for a few days.

Where can this be purchased?

Banded Feb 2, 2012 down 20 lbs so far.

I currently have 6.2 cc in a 10cc band. I hope the next fill is the one.
