Wow, thats alot of Fluid in a 14cc. I'm only at 6.5cc on a 14cc Allergan Omniform band. I would check with the doctor and remove 1-1.5cc too see if coughing goes away. I will probably max out aroung 8-8.5cc. My surgeon has be slow in giving me any fluid and the last 6 onths has introduced me to more calories per day (1600-1800) but recently I've gained about 7 pounds. So, back to the drawing board and a few days of Protein shakes with salads/soups and I'll be dialed in again. Its been hard for me to stay focused due to work (missile launches at Vandenberg AFC,CA.) around the clock. My body wants rest and sleep and nothing else. Happy Band day people and have a GREAT weekend. But

You are so friggin HOT!! Go Girl!! love n hugs

I get on the scale everyday. I didnt before and now i"m paying the price. I dont need a doctor's visit to tell me if I've gained or lost, I damn know. Waiting for a week or end of the month is too late. We've all done this and that's why we belong to this forum. To each his/her own!

I had hernia repaired at same time Lapband was installed. I had more discomfort for 2 days because of the hernia repair than the band. The liquid vicodin for 2 days did the trick. A piece of cake surgery.

Biotin 5000mgs each day.

This is a start of strict dieting. You should really think LB and go do it. WE can all lose weight and appear tyo have a handle on it but it's usually temporary at best. Look back and see what has happened in the past. Lose, gain, lose, gain. Best wishes

Best wishes and keep the faith.

Talk with surgeon office. I received 6 months of free post op visits. But my doctor's fees are $300 per visit here in Santa Barbara if you don't have insurance. Best wishes on job hunting.

And the fruit skins if not peeled (apples) tends to pulp up above the band opening and stay for long periodss before dropping further into the stomach. This prevents you from eating the good foods and getting the nutrients needed.

Today Aug 6 marks one year since my lapband. I lost 97.5 pounds. I feel great.

Some doctors (yours and my dr.) are doing it the slow way. Having you understand portions over a long period of time. My doctor doesnt do fills very easily. You almost have to make up something for him to give you a fill. He wants You to do most of the work and eat proper foods. My weeight loss if I'm lucky has slowed to less than 6 pounds a month and some months NO weight loss. Best wishes

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

Congratulations on your weight loss.

Congratulations! I'm glad you shared with us your achieved goals. Sometimes we get down on ourselves and maybe think its not working so good anymore. Best wishes

check with your doctor not lapband doctor.

keep it up and eventually it will drop. It sometimes gets stuck on plateau's. Best wishes

This date will be 1 year since my lapband surgery. Closing in on 100 pounds in 1 year with the band. Best wishes and Keep the faith.

Congratulations! I'm closing in on 100 pounds very soon. I'm at 95-96 pounds and my first year anniversary is on Aug 6. Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

My doctor went slow with my fills. He is a hard doctor to get fills. He wants you to decide on certain foods and tehn go to fills if necessary. Right now he has me on a greater calorie intake around 1500-1800 a day. So far, I'm maintaining this input with NO weight gain. I'm not big on exercise, so it's hard to lose weight rapidily. I'm close to 1 year anniversary on my lapband and I'm down around 95-96 pounds. So, I'm happy for this amount. It has been slow the last 6-8 weeks but I do enjoy the extra calories in my diet. Best wishes and keep the faith.
