my journey has come to an end I posted Monday about my band being to tight but after going to the dr and a having an xray it was discovered I had a major slip an was recommended to have it removed 5 hours later we were separate our adventure together has ended I did meet my personal goal weight and learned a lot hopefully I can move forward an continue a healthy life thanks for all the support and best wishes to all

thanks for the support I an confused why im having these tight episodes and still losing weight Im assume your stomach shrinks as you lose weight thus needing a fill to close the opening back to the preferred restrictions BUT I have had a 1cc unfill and lost 15 pounds no problems for a while then bang in a mater of hours im miserable and still I am going back for another unfill could I have had a slip or any other issue causing this.

I had a unfill of 1cc 2 months ago and everything has been fine still losing weight untill saturday night now im having the same issues reflux, brown gritty throwup, and cant even drink water without it coming right back up I go to the DR tomorrow for another unfill but what can I do to help get through the night. Tums makes it worse and I have tried sleeping upright but I have not had much luck with that either

I had a fill 12 weeks ago not really logging my food I have been happy with my weight loss 265 in march when I was banded and 220 now, waist went from paints size 40 to 36 I have finally concurred not drinking while of before eating omg was that a challenge I generally have turkey, fish, toasted wheat bread I tried a PB&j one time that was the worst thing I have done yet lol its just odd how lunch is anything goes and dinner is not worth the effort

most of the time when I eat dinner I have 2 bites and everything seams to stop and want to come back up but only liquid comes up I can eat a buger king whoper Jr and onion rings for lunch "not that I do!!" but dinner time is a no no.. I have been dealing with this for 2 months and losing weight but dang it suck I figured if i was to tight I would of adjusted out by now. no pains, no other complaints, and I still have good restrictions for breakfast and lunch???? any one experince this oh and after everything settles about an hour later I can eat my normal portion

I went ahead with the newer lapband ap I found a Dr in south florida that did everything self pay for $8999 I had the surgery 03/08/12 everything went great and I am down 15 pounds post op weight and have no desire to eat much of anyting lol

I would like help comparing between the Lapband 9.75 cost $4000 with Jeruselem Hospital by Dr. Mario Almana, or the Realize-C with Dr Ariel Ortiz for $5000 does anyone have and info or experience with these bands and or Dr's
