Well first I'm following the diet to the t. I have anxiety about getting stuck so I try my best to follow everything my doctor says, plus I exercise 5 days a week. maybe I'm just anxious. I didn't put this weight on over night so its not coming off over night.

Hi, I had my band 6/26/12, lost a total of 25 lbs so far. But have been at the same weight for 2 Weeks. I have 5 cc in my band. So back to my question when will the weight start coming off? When I get restriction? Thanks in advance

I'm almost 4 Weeks post OP, I have a swallowing problem so my doc. Removed all my liquid from band so we are slowly putting it back in. I have 3 cc in and I have lost 25 lbs.

Anyone in the Phoenix/ Glendale, Az area. Who would like to have contact, share resources, experiences, struggles, tips,etc

Great advice thanks.

Will do. Thanks again.

I'll be on solids in a few days wanting sushi so bad. I have tons of anxiety about getting stuck. so just wanted some feed back. Thank you all

I keep hearing no drinking before or after eating for 30 mins on this forum. But my doctor has never told me this so its another thing I'm worried about. What is the reason for no drinking while eating?

What a relief I'm not the only one going through this. thank you for sharing your struggles so we can learn and get encouragement from one another. I'm not mourning food but obsessed with not eating cause I'm sooooo scared of getting stuck. Am I going to choke, stop breathing, etc. all this anxiety. Am I ever going to feel normal again?

I had the worst episode of anxiety after my first meal of solid food. I thought I was stuck which could have increase the feeling of anxiety. but I had no pain but did have extreme dryness and difficulty swallowing after meal. Has anyone gone thru this?? Any suggestions or experiences with this. Also i feel so upset i keep thinking is the band worth keeping in?? Tomorrow I'll be 3 Weeks post OP.Thank you

Thank you for the information.

The tightness, I guess my throat feels like its tight or swelling. I'm on mushy stage. Yes I have allergies. I guess what has me concerned is I was fine for almost 2 Weeks then boom. But the swelling is what I'm also leaning towards.thank you
