  1. I was banded on April 12th and so far have lost 55 lbs. The last 2 weeks have been rough my band was too tight with 4.5 cc. After many calls and an ER visit the doctor finally took 2.5 cc out so the swelling around the band will go down. On a liquid diet for the rest of the week and I'm starving. I never realized how many food commercials are out there. Enough complaining I'm vey happy with my weight lost on 70 more to go.
  2. I had my surgery April 4, 2012 lost 55 do far and want to lose 70 more. I can't wait to: 1 swim with the dolphins 2 sit on the beach and watch my son play without being embrassed 3 run with my husband I think the last time I've actually ran was In high school and I failed the 10 minute mile test 4 get a hot Momma dress for date night and see my husbands face light up 5 buy pants that are in a regular store but I do live lane byrant they have dressed me nicely since high school but ready to say bye 6 just be more active
  3. Call your Doctor and tell him you need some of the fluid removed. I have dealt with this same problem and 2 weeks later I ended in the ER bc of extreme dehydration. My doctor finally removed 2 cc of the 4 I had and I'm on a liquid diet for a week. He said my stomach was swallow bc of the vomiting. Don't wait I'm not trying to scare you but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Plus most of June ive spent in the house sick. Good luck!!!
  4. Dr said 2 weeks for me. He also warned me about having some sort of birth control bc you will be more fertile after losing weight and it's best to wait at least a year. I was banded in April 4,2012 and so far I've lost 55 lbs and as the previous post says its more comfy!!
  5. I donate to the local Women's Shelter u bring it there and everyone has always been so grateful.
  6. I am currently having the same problem. I just started new meds last week it has a little but hopeful that it will help more. I am still having night reflux. Do you have back pain when your reflux acts up?
