loseit

I have beening trying to get my bowels to "move" all week! Monday I took 4 mom pills. Nothing, maybe a little. 2 more mom pills on Thursday, nothing. Will straining and pushing hurt my pouch? Help!!

My Goal is 125. I am 5' 2" so this will be considered a good weight fo me. I am losing very slow so I just hope I can get there. I have lost 41 so far and I have 33 more to go.

My Eyes are bigger than my pouch. Several times I have made/gotten more food an I can eat. Does this happen to you? I am so glad I have my band, it helps me stop eating. Am I the only one?

I can eat bread, Pasta, rice, but I don't think I am tight enough yet. Just be careful.

I was banded on 2/2/12 and I am just know getting to the point where I feel "restriction" that works. I have had so many fills I lost count. Don't give up. It will work if you want it to. Just be consistant, keep getting your fills, watch what you eat and it will work. I am almost at 45lbs and I look it.

I have not told anyone I work with. I have told some of my family members, mother, sister and brother. They all are very over weitht. I try not to mention it to them any more, because I can tell they don't want to hear it. I hope they will change their mind after I have lost all my weight. I seen them at Thanksgiving and I will see them again ago at Christmas. I just wish them could see how much of a better life they could have.

2/2/12. Lov'n it!

please don't go the Mexico to have this done. Have you found a dr who will do your fills and follow-up visits when you get back?

Will taking a big drink stretch my pouch? Somethings I am really thristy, and I take a big drink. It don't hurt.

Don't have it removed. You find another Doctor. Don't even go back there. Fight for what you want. You are doing this for you, not them. Get tough!

It will happen. Sounds like you still need more fills. I have had soo many I have lost count. 9 maybe 10. I am at restriction know, but I don't think I am in the green zone. Keep going back and don't give up.

I stayed the same and I enjoyed my meal. Looking forward to a big loss next week. I think the change in food will help me to start losing again. Merry Christmas everyone!

Looking Great! and Younger!

I came home a day early from moms to get away from the food. I did eat more that I should yesterday, but Thanksgiving is just one day. Tomorrow will better, so will everyone elses. Let's all see how good we can be between now and Christmas.

Are you sure you want to have this done in Mexico? What if you have trouble once your back? Have to thought about that? Who will do your fills?

You will be tender and sore for several weeks. Don't rush it. I was banded 2/2/12 and sometimes I am tender at port site.

two inches to the right of my belly button. Surgeron decision. no problems

May I ask, why two procedures? did you have them at the same time? Was one not working? Just curious as to why?

Same here. I am down 40lbs and only down 1 size so far. People are really starting to notice and that makes me feel good about myself again.

I have not told a lot of people and I like it this way.

I too have this problem. I took 3 mom today and finally got some relief. I try to walk alot, drink plenty of Fluid and take mom. Don't give up,

How do you know if your pouch is stretched? Does it hurt? I am eating more than I think I should. I go for a fill on Tuesday and I am ready to be in the green zone.

Worth every penny. I was self pay and I would do it again. Don't let the insurance tell you how to take care of you!

Please don't quit. Go back to your doctor and be honest about what you feel and what you are doing

I think my next fill might be number 9 or 10. I have some restriction, but not enough. I have a 10cc band with 7.5cc in it. I hope the next one put me in the green zone. I want to be there before the holidays.....

hang in there.
