  1. Happy 56th Birthday nrbyar!

  2. I am so sorry DeAna N. Please keep up posted. I had another fill on Thurday, all seemed fine, then last night I couldn't stop throwing up. Today I can't keep anything done and feel feverish.....Not sure what is going on!!

  3. You will do fine! It is a great tool!
  4. It will be an adjustment....LOL! I just had my third and still think I need more in there....keep us posted!

  5. Happy 55th Birthday nrbyar!

  6. Hey girls and guys....I'm down 20 pounds after being banded on 5/10.....second fill tomorrow. My partner is very encouraging and is the one who suggested I check out this surgery. She's a lingerie model, so she's already in great shape! But she's been great helping me with my diet and getting my butt to the gym. We can do this!

    Newbie Here! Hi! :)

    Thanks! How did you get that ticker added to your profile?
  8. I;m gay and was banded 5/10! I'm here!
  9. I was sucking on cheese a few days after surgery! I needed something more! I agree, your body will tell you when you need to add more. On a different note, can someone tell me how to add the LapBandTalk.com Body Weight Ticker? I can't see to figure it out! Thanks!

    Newbie Here! Hi! :)

    Welcome! I had my surgery 5/10 and first fill 6/7.....I have a 10 cc band and got a 2cc fill. Think I may need to go to 2.5 or 3....but we will see. Down 14 pounds since surgery and feeling good. It's nice when clothes start feeling looser!
  11. It is a great tool! Keep us posted!

    You will be fine and not die! I think it is the emotions of letting go of the past and when surgery is really happening it hits us in the face. There may be some hard times, but it is no worth it. And, you know your body and what it can handle. I've been able to eat anything I wanted to after surgery (I think getting rid of hiatal hernia changed my life with no more pain!) and am still losing. Keep us posted and don't be scared. This is a very easy surgery with great results.
  13. As stated, it is a tool! I've been banded since 5/10, first fill 6/7....down 14 pounds....walking, swimming and feeling great. Hang in there and see someone else!

    Not sure how much juice you can have, but I really like naked juice protien juice. Very filling.

    I did and have continued to put vanilla protein powder in my morning coffee. That way get my caffeine and protein all in one shot! If you get the flavorless type you can add it to various juices or broths which helps. You can do it!
