Thanks everybody good luck to all of you and listen to what your body tells you .

Hello all after lots of complications and pain had to get my bad removed yesterday . It had slipped up way high and was punching up on my lungs and prevented me from breathing . I do regret this happening to me but I am much better now and glad that it didn't go any further then this I wish you all good luck and for future precaution if you feel pain say something and if they say its your gall bladder always get a second opinion and double check your lap band is still in the correct place

Hello all recently I unfilled my band completely and now have started filling again slowly . This time I can't tolerate not the smallest fill. I get stuck right away now I'm able to eat normal even though I have about 3-4 cc in my 6cc band but when I eat i get this string pain in my stomach does anybody know what it might be ?

Almost 8 months with my band just started getting fills again due to me getting really sick in December . Just want to know if any body else wakes up with random bruises on there body and if they know why that is ?

Does anybody else have severe shoulder pain after eating . Nit sure why but since my last fill its been hurting my shoulders alot .

I am 5"2 and starting weight was around 180 and now weight in at 150 I was down to 144 but gained some recent weight .. Hope to get back in track after New Years my goal weight is 135

I recently had my band unfilled completely and want to start getting fills again .. My dr fills pretty fast at a time should I start slow or let me fill me up to four right away ?

Haha yes I know not to go go to hard ware store as they sale anything having to do with meat there! Also I am aware that drano is just a nick name and would never be stupid enough to go asking for that to drink ! Also I tried the remedy took three big drinks and nothing happened but pain in my chest still feel stuck but thanks for all the help and "precautions "

Where can I buy the ingredients for the drano ?

Thanks hopefully another 15 lbs by New Years And I will be happy enough to take a break !!

Yes gorditas is now a no no for me lol and I heard warm water works also but in my case nothing was working so had to her unfilled .

So I've lost 35 lbs since MY surgery in may I'd that average or not for having the lap band ?

So I had to get a one and half cc unfill In order for it to go down but atleast I lost 7 lbs since Tuesday !!

Think it was the thickness if it and also that it was packed with cheese !!

No home made thick ones he said to fast for 8 hrs then try liquids see if it goes down

I ate gorditas in Tuesday night and automatically Could eat or drink anything right after !! Haven't been able to throw it up or eat anything since then. I feel like I have some in my esophagus what can I do to get unstuck ??

Thanks u unfortunately I can't hold down liquids either so I migh have to take the trip . I'm really scared though because I woke up with bruising all over my body !!

I got a fill yesterday and not sure how much was put in . But I can't Swallow anything with out puking . Is there some thing I can do for relief with out getting unfilled since my dr is three hrs away ???

Thanks dolly hope urs helps too

Turns out I had to get .4 unfilled feel much better now even though I lost 7 lbs by not being able to eat or drink in three days

Okay Guys so I got my adjustment done and he took out .2 thought I was okay big nono soon as I left kept vomiting everything had to go back for another -.2. Ml so now I can breathe swallow and eat good I'm now at 5.8 ml in a 6 ml band

I agree no way to be living taking the 2.5 hr drive to get unfilled as we speak

For my fourth fill on sat and since then lost 6 lbs due to me puking everything including liquids . My stasis to go in ASAP for an adjustment but I'm so happy that I had started to loose weight how much should he take out I have a 6 cc band and have 6.2 cc in it
