ctbhhm, Are you able to eat more than a half a cup of food? Maybe you have a leak in your band. The fluid may not be staying in the band sounds like something is wrong. Hank Frank

Hows your band now. hankfrank

my sister had a band slip. They pulled it up . It happened because of throwing up so much. It was her gullbalder. They removed it. Her band it opened, not filled for months. At first she gained some. But as we all should watch what we eat she is loosing again. She was the first band they had slipped. I'm banded also loosing slowly but thats ok. Remember it's in our heads also to watch what we eat.

your pain doesn't sound normal. Call the Dr. and insist he see you.

How much of a fill do you have? If you don't know ask the doctor. You need more , you will know when you have the right fill . you shouldNOT have to pay ANY THING UNTIL YOUR SATISFIED!!!WHEN YOUR FILLED RIGHT YOU CAN'T SWALLOW ANY MORE THAN A FEW BITES. GOODLUCK

The pain in your neck and shoulder could be gas. I's very common with this surgery. Try gas-x or some think to release gas .

Do you have a dietician to talk to about what maybe you should eat. I'm thinking of going back to mine. She's very stricked

denise822, I'm so glad you lost. My mother always tells me good things are worth waiting for. I'm going to ask my dr. about that test. What do they do?

RERE923, are you exercising? Start walking I hate exercising.BUT WE HAVE TO!!! Stick in there I finally lost 4lbs. since last month so as long as your no gaining thats good.

Denise' use a smaller dish like a salad dish, put your fork down after every bite,chew chew chew don't drink when you drink it has no place to go your pouch only holds 2oz. so if you add liquid theres no place for it to go but up. By not drinking while eating you keep full longer. try 6-7 almonds 1-2 hrs. before you eat it keeps you fuller I hope this helps

Denise822, Have you lost inches. I've lost only 59lbs. in 1 year. But I've lost 4'' in my neck 12" in my waist and 14" in my hips. We must remember this is a life time thing. 1-2lbs. a week is what we should be losing. As long as were not gaining. were doing great!!

you need a fill. sometimes it takes 4-5 fills. be patient you'll be fine it took me about 6 months to get the right fill'
