I just moved to the area and really need to find a doctor here. Any suggestions?

I was banded June 18th 2012 and have a 14 cc band with about. 8ccs in it. I have not lost ANYTHING since being banded and have gained some of the pre surgery weight back:/. I'm feeling sad and discouraged after seeing and reading stories of all ppl who are loosing lots of weight! What am I doing wrong

I was banded 6/19/12. Haven't lost any weight except the pre opt weight. I have just over 8ccs in my 14 cc band and every time I eat it gets stuck!!! It's not only annoying but painful, what am I doing wrong!!! Then on top of everything getting stuck I'm not loosing weight and have gained 6 pounds:(.

I'm having trouble learning to not drink with n after meals. Andy advice or ideas to help

What's PBing

Why do we have to have liquid then mushy after a fill?

I was banded on 6/19/12 in Idaho, have my first fill August 1st, how ever I'm going to be moving down to San Diego by the end of the year. I'm worried I wont be in the "green zone" and will be needing fills after I move.. Can anyone recommend a dr with reasonable full costs??

Had the lap band done on Idaho, how ever I'm moving to San diego And am needing more fills... I need a good affordable dr in SD for my fills.

I was wondering how many fills are typically needed to reach "the green zone"?

I was banded on 6/19/12 and am not able to handle dairy products so I have been using silk almond milk with EAS soy protein powder... Is that ok since it's not whey??

Are they ok to have? I was banded 6/19/12 and was wondering if it was ok to have a small sugar free red bull

Difference I meant lol

I am curious what the sufferance is?

Buffalogyrl where do u find them?

So I was having issues with the eas and Costco brand protein shakes after my surgery, so today I tried the Atkins cafe caramel shake and oh my it's so yummy and I'm able to keep it down!!

I was banded on 6/19/12 and before my surgery I was drinking eas or Costco brand protein shakes, however after my surgery I am not able to drink them. Does anyone know of a soy or lactaid free protein shake?

I'm glad that others are experiencing this too... I'm going to call my dr and see abt maybe progressing to mushy foods. I did have some very runny mash potatoes for dinner n now i am not feeling hungry like i was... But I think I'll try the Greek yogurt bc I'm needing more protein.

I was banded on 6/19/12 and am on full liquids for 2 more weeks, however I'm so hungry all the time! I feel like I'm always eating but still always hungry! I also cheated n had 2 bites of my daughters turkey sandwich today!! Is something wrong with me?! I also have gained weight since my surgery date I was 259 surgery morning now I'm 265....

I was banded on 6/19/12 I had terrible gas pains for first 3 days, but they have gone. Now I'm always hungry and am not loosing any weight!!! I feel like im always eating... Anyone else feel this way? What am I doing wrong?!

Ohhh thank you all for the input!! Glad to know its normal to have sine weight gain!! Thank you all for the support!

I just had my surgery on June 19th 2012 and am still on the liquid stage, however I seem to be gaining weight and am really bloated in my belly!! Help what am I doing wrong?!
