HELLO: I AM FROM THE MIAMI AREA AND HAD MY SURGERY ON AUGUST 2010. I HAVE HAD ABOUT SEVEN FILLS AND ONE OF THEM TOO TIGHT THAT I WOULD VOMIT WATER AND ENDED UP GOING BACK TO THE DOCTOR. I CAN SAY I HAVE NOT FOUND MY SWEET SPOT. AT THIS POINT, I AM SO DISCOURAGED THAT I DON'T KNOW IF TO GET IT REMOVED, GO TO ANOTHER SURGEON OR VISIT A NUTRIONIST, DIETICIAN, OR EXPERT. I RECENTLY DID THE HCG DIET AND LOST 15 LBS. RIGHT WHEN I HAD THE SURGERY WITH THE LIQUID DIET I LOST 5 LBS. I HAVE A DESK JOB AND MORE COMPUTER AND WRITING DUTIES AT NIGHTS. MY ACTIVITY LEVEL IS LOW AND AS A SINGLE MOTHER I HAVE NO MORE ENERGY TO WORK OUT. I ALEADY WAKE UP AT 6 AM AND GO TO BED AFTER MIDNIGHT. I UNDERSTAND IF I WOULD WORK OUT THINGS WOULD CHANGE BUT THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE LAPBAND WAS TO FEEL FULL AND NOT BE ABLE TO EAT EVEN IF I WANTED. WHEN THEY PUT MORE LIQUID, THEN IS TOO MUCH. SHOULD I CHANGE DOCTORS? DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF A GOOD DOCTOR IN THE MIAM/FLL AREA. I WOULD EVEN DRIVE TO PALM BEACH. I HAVE BEEN READING SO MANY SUCCESSFUL STORIES AND I TRULY NEED YOUR HELP. SHOULD I JOIN WEIGHT WATCHERS? WHAT IS UNJURY THAT I SEE ADVERTISED HERE? WHAT SHAKES HAVE WORKED FOR YOU? I HAVE HEARD EAS IS GOOD. I HAVE GOOD INSURANCE. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

Thanks Mel. That is good advice. I had my surgery in August 2010 and I have had no weight loss. I am 5"7 and they used a standard lapband, not sure if that is the problem. I notice you wrote you changed doctors, perhaps someone knows a good doctor in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/Palm Beach area. I have had about 7 fills and once I was so tight that I would vomit water and had to get deflated. It is a struggle. Someone said Weight Watchers, others say unjury, which I had not heard of it until this website. When I am too tight, I live off shakes and they are fattening and when I can have my salads I still do not lose weight. I have good insurance and I want to change doctors or perhaps go to a nutricionist/dietician. Can you please help? Thank you.
