My doctor is the same way- they feel that it is better to give small fills every 5 to 6 weeks then over fill and have you be to tight. I am a year out as of today and only have 3.7 in a 10cc band. It has been a very long and frustrating year as I just thought I would be further along in weight loss by now. So I completely understand an cant wait to find the green zone.

I have to chime in- I had this same feeling happen to me a few months ago. I ha Fluid removed, went in and they checked my esophagus everything. I can only come to think that after get in stuck I was going back to eating to big of bites and causing more swelling. I have been focusing on small, small bites and if I get stuck then I go back to liquids or mushy food for the next 24 hours. Hope this helps but might also see about getting a little fluid removed and taking it easy. I didn't think it was the band either but haven't had that since paying closer attention.

I have found the love for classes at the gym- they are very motivating and at most will see all fitness levels. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Great job!!!

Thinking about going to support group offered at good SAMs next week, anyone been to the meeting before? Just curious of how it was and if they found it helpful. Thanks-

You doing Portland to Coast this year? This will be my first year and am so excited

Congrats on the appeal- how long did you have the band in for before having it removed? Was just curious

I would be interested in hearing more about it and how it is going for you. I read about the 5 day pouch test a few months ago but just briefly. Suzie

My insurance said the same thing but was never requested. Just had to do the 6 months supervised nutrition etc and got approved. Each insurance company is different so might be best to call insurance directly to get information

Can you please send it to me as well- bughappy79@yahoo.com
