Hi Twittlingann I was the same weight as you when I started and lost 30 lbs so far by the way I didn't mean to Hijack a thread either I am new and since my adjustment I got rather concerned and scared about what was happening ... I had the band done at close to 200 pds from steroids from severe asthma that was throwing my sugar into Diabetes and with the just the loss of the 30 lbs I am free and clear of any of that now .. I probably should have lost more since last June but I got very sick again in oct and had to go on two mega doses of prednisone and antibiotics and it throws off my whole metabolism .. I actually record and eat exactly what I am suppose too and stay under my calories with my app which I recommend to everyone it's called "my calorie counter " and I hope to get back to excercising now that it is getting warmer and I am less prone to sickness and germs at the gym .. It's a struggle but I know I can reach my goal if I just keep trying

Hi everyone, I had my band done in June and was doing great I lost 30 lbs and felt terrific .. I stayed at 170 and the dr decided about 2 weeks ago to give me my first fill 1cc ... Now I get a pain in my stomach when I eat and throw just about everything up , I am so frustrated I wish I never had the fill now and want to have the saline taken out .. I still eat the same foods and at a slow pace and no liquids with any meal but I feel like with whatever I try to eat it hits my stomach like a rock and then the burping begins and then I throw up big gas bubbles and then the food.. I take Prevacid for any heartburn everyday with my meds and have tried tums but still struggling any idea what I am doing wrong ?? I'd appreciate any help thanks friends
