  14. Hi 2mf, I did so well with the one fill that I had I didnt need another one. I have not been able to eat what I wanted. She filled me tight to jump start my weight loss again, which is what I wanted. Today i seem to be so much better. I am able to keep mushy foods down, no throwing up,, but one thing i have done is really take my time inbetween bites. this has helped .. thanks for your advice!
  15. Hi! I had the worst week ever after my fill.. she filled me too tight, I am finally keeping food down today! This was my 2nd fill...

  17. Thanks Missy! I know I want restrictions, but this is crazy.
  18. Thank you for your reply Princess Grammy! I will keep that in mind
  19. Hi Everyone, Thank you for taking the time to read this. I was banded in Dec 2011. I have lost 105 pounds so far. Which I am very happy about. I had a fill last Monday. Doc told me to go back to regular eating. Didnt work. I had my last fill in March of 2012 and had no problem with it. Now here we are today. I am able to keep liquids down with no problem. I am tring to eat regular foods and I'm throwing up everything except soup. Its crazy. I dont know what to do. Do I go back and get a little unfilled? She said she filled me 1.4 CC's,, and whats with the Hic-ups after I eat? Please reply if you can help! Thanks!
  20. Hi, I had a fill yesterday- I was in so much pain last night. I am able to keep liquids down though. I talked to my doc and she said that she may have put too much in. So its a waiting game to see if the pain subsides if not I have to go back on Friday to have some taken out.. good luck to you! I know this is not an easy time for either of us.. Take Care!

    Good for you Shawna.. One of my closest friends had Gastric bypass approx 10 years ago, and has had a few back surgerys,, she has put on a ton of her weight back. She is now also looking into lap band surgery. I wish you the best of luck. I'm down 101 pounds and its been a wild ride. lol.. I wish you the best! Ohh by the way 40 yrs old Rockford , Illinois.. Add me if ya like and we can keep in touch! Take care!
