They took out 0.25 cc and I feel much better! I say to anyone out there, if you are worried you're too tight, go get some taken out rather than suffer!

I think the poster needs encouragement to get medical treatment, and not ways she could possibly endanger her life more.

My surgeon instructs everyone to start their day with a hot liquid every day to losen the band and wash through mucus. She said that for the people who don't like hot liquids in the morning she recomends that they drink a bit of the warm Water when they take a shower. Kinda different but what ever works...

The hunger is killing me too, and I'm on soft solids. I go from fine to angry, painful hungry in about fifteen minutes. Definitely more angry hungry than I ever got pre-surgery. (of course I was always eating pre-surgery!). I have to keep some kind of food on hand wherever I go (applesauce is easy) because it hurts when I get hungry like that. I can't wait for that first fill, I tell you!

I'm with you on the airplane seat, bornready. I was sick of being scared every time I flew that someone would demand is buy two seats. I was also sick of asking for a belt extender and not feeling comfortable with the tray table down.
Overall I would say my reason is just that I was tired of not being able to do what I wanted to do, either from being too out of shape or from just being too physically big to fit.

I'm a salt girl too, salt and fried foods.

I was banded 6/28 and my big incision is still pretty tender and I definitely still feel bloated. I was assuming that knot thing (I have one too) is the port, but maybe someone who knows more can answer that.

Ha, DeAna, that has been what I've been thinking I would say!
