    2nd fill yesterday no restriction

    if you sum up 5 pound per month that 50lbs. in 10 months on a slow pace but healthier. i lost quick but slong with it i lost my hair and i was misrable the entire journey cause i ended up in the Er. several times for dehydration. Sometime you walk out of there ok and the next day you cant even take a sip. and by the time you get back in there its been a good 3-7 day of maddness cause the weekend crossed you or a holiday or he was in surgery. with my experience they either put tooo muvh or put too little or take out tooo much. im a Cash patient. So when your poping out $400 bills at a time it because fustruating. i was in the green zone for 18 months at 153 pounds size 9 and deciede to loss more and go down to size 5 .. so i go in get an adjustment keep in mind my doctor suggested me nit to that i looked fine. He did the adjustment i lost and dropped to a size 5 but i was so tight from my band that in the middle if the night i aspirated fluid into my lung and got and infection. my doctor went into the hospital and took out all the fluid cause i could keeped anything down. that made me gainweight cause then u gotta take the med with food. uuugh! so now i have my fluid back in and back on track to losing weight. i sleep elevated up now to avoid aspiration back up.. Be patient sometimes by us rushing then we make things it worst..

    LAPBAND DIDN'T WORK FOR ME

    it worked for me. I lost 76 pounds the first 8 months. and kept it off till I had some other complications where they had to take out all the liquid from my port and gained back 33. but im back on the wagon and have now lost 12 pounds with a few fills. it did have a difficult time find my green zone again from fills to unfills.... you just have not give up hope and keep trying.

    it may take a few fills. I didn't start feeling restrictions till my third fill which was 3 months later after the surgery. its annoying waiting one month per fill... be patient.. you will soon feel restrictions.

  8. Day 2 on liquids. My tummys feel good again. only 25 pounds left to reach my goal again! )
