  2. I have had a lot of the same problems. In my case it was a dilation. I am actually currently in the process of removing my lapband.
  3. I am back. Lol looking for people who had failed lap bands and revised to a different surgery. I am leaning towards RNY.

  5. To date, I have lost 115 pounds with my lap band. I don't feel like I have bulimia. Anytime I have ever regurgitated my food, it was my own fault such as eating stuff that is too dry, eating to much, trying to eat stuff that I know shouldn't.

  7. Hello there I am 29 and have been banded for 2 and a half years, I have lost 115 pounds since, I still have a lot more to loose. Looking to get back in the saddle and finish what I started. I live in San Antonio and would love to meet someone who lives here as well to actually possibly hang out and work out with. Not opposed to anyone out of state either for texting, facebook and My Fitness Pal. Is it just me or did that totally sound like dating personal hahahaha.
  8. I have had no problem with steak, and since I dont eat much I actually go for the better cuts of steak fillet mingon is super easy to chew and to eat. Never had a stuck episode with it at all. Its usually one of the smallest cuts at roughly 6 oz but I also share my food with a 2 year old who loves steak.

  14. So today I have started feeling this burning/sharp pain at my port site. I haven't had any fluid put in or taken out in about a month, has anyone else had this before?
  15. I do have to admit sex has gotten much better since the band. My husband and I haven't been this active since we were newly weds. Multiple "O"s are much easier. LOL anyway.

  20. Ok here is a bit of the back story. I was banded 5/16/12 that weekend I had a hard time drinking fluids.. so that Monday I went in for an unfil ( they put 3 cc during surgery ) that unfill I had 2 cc taken out. A month later we tried to put the 2 cc back in and it was just to much for me at the time, and had to take 1.2 cc out. Today I went in for my 2nd fill and could only tolerate another 1cc for a grand ol totaly of 2.8 cc in my 10cc band. The PA said that this isnt super common, so am I the only one. Has anyone else had this issue?

  22. I havent noticed anything out of the norm.
  23. Honestly every surgeon is differnt as to exactly how long they want you to do each phase. It usually goes, liquids, mushy food, soft food and then regular food.
  24. I have done califlower kinda like mashed potatoes. Mashed up brocoli... with a bit of cream of mushroom soup ( reduced fat only 50 calories per half can ) sprinkled with cheese then bake it for a 15-20 mins.
