I had lost 65lbs, but removed my fill for about 3 months and gained 25lbs back. I had been too tight and every meal was so painful. I started at 320 and now I am at 277. Depressed, needing to exercise and eat the right food and I know that I still need a small fill to be just right. How about you? How has your journey been. Michele in Mesa

Hi, Brandy! How did you lose so quickly? Your advice, please. Michele Banded 4-6-07 320/277/150

HELP! I have a question. I was banded April 6, 2007 and I have lost 65lbs, BUT I really only lose when the band is so tight that I cannot eat and it hurts to drink, and I throw-up a lot. I got a slight unfill 0.5cc and now I have not lost for weeks. I can drink okay now, I can eat Cereal and milk with no problem, but it hurts to eat HEALTHY, i.e. chicken, eggs, lettuce, oatmeal, even Soup with carrots and beef. Do I need another unfill? or to be slapped for eating cereal for every meal??? HELP!

Hi, Shauna! What is your secret to losing 73lbs already???? I was banded in Mexico on April 6th, 2007 and I am only down 40lbs. HELP!! Do your doctors take non-patients for fills?? Michele 320/273/160

Hi! I was banded April 6, 2007 in Mexico by Dr. Ortiz. It was a great experience. I have had 2 fills and have lost 36lbs. I have a VG band and from what I have been reading I may need another fill to get over 6cc and find the "sweet spot". 320 (start) /283 (now) /150 (goal) I look forward to learning from others. ~Michele in Arizona:)
