The mental part of recovrry was hardest on me.

Can they do the plication without the band? Free is good but I would be scared to have them cut so much on me.

I have 4.8 in a 10 cc band. I am close to my green zone

I went through the emotional stuff post op. It was very hard. Mine lasted a few weeks. It felt like post pardum depression. It will get better.

Remember when you were banded how you went through the mental ctap a week or two out? This is like starting over.. It is starting over.. Start slow and work your way up. I was banded 4/11/12. I do not own a scale. I went to the Dr wed and from pre op to now I lost 21 lbs. I have lost in inches. You can do this!!

I went out to eat and ate soft foods and it was good!! I ate too much and my back was sore. The Dr said it was my band telling me not to do that.

Its driving me crazy!!!!! It tightened about 2 weeks after my last fill!!!!! mushies are about the extent of it. Had lasanga and it was ok but anything else.........

Ok It seems I may be too tight. I can not eat too much but I throw up or have chest pains when I eat. Can not make it to the Dr today or tomarrow. Any advice on what to eat or do till I can go?

I have two fills. 4.7 in a 10 band. I am too tight now In the green zone but getting sick a lot.

The mental part was worse for me

I am so sorry for your loss loosing a parent sucks. You should be ok. My son in law left for afghanistan. I had a bite or two of chicken and steak. I went back to liquids after.

Thank you. I live about an hour from the place to get the unfills. I can keep liqiids down fine. I will start them again and see how it goes.

4/11/12. Been a rough journey mentally. I have cut way down om my food intake. I have issues with chewing my food not enough.

I think its the self pay thing. 9900.00 is what a lot of places charge. Then if you get a hisdal hernia repaired ( like me) I paid 5500. They charged insurance 29000. $$$. Talks

I have decided my band is too tight. The past week it tightened up. Now I throw up or URP every meal and my chest hurts. I have only had my bsnd two.months. My Drs office.just rings. Dhould I go on.liquids and mushies till I get in? Has this happenef to anyone?

I have 4.7 in a 10 band. My second fill was three weeks ago. The last week my band seems like it is getting tighter. I am not sure why. I am URPING with every meal. I am getting some taken out next week.

I am going to get some fluid taken out.

Its like with anything. It is willpower. Some people have more addictive personalities. People mourn the loss of the way things used to be so you want something else to fill the void. My husband had the bypass 5 years ago. He since has been addicted to drugs, alcohol, shopping, hoarding, porn, eating, dipping, smoking. His sistet had it and is fine.

I try to chew my foods well. I use a baby spoon and try to take small bites. Seems like every day on one of my.meals after my URPS... There is a piece of food I missed. Am I the only one?

I can eat solids. I just sick once a day. Mostly from my food choices. I am o/n worker so I do not plan my choices well.

I can still eat. It is more my chewing habits. (chew, chew, swallow) I am eating less.

TODDY How long have you been like that? Me 3 weeks.. Have you still lost weight?
