on my way to doctor to get a scope I pray I just need a pill and nothing out of the band it has worked so well for 3 mos. thanks for your posts

reflex gone after surgery but a month ago I got a cold and started to get chest pain and couldn't drink or eat without great pain.. fianaly went to doctor and he thought there was an infection there from the cold and I have been on meds for the past 2+ wks. pain is gone but still get that stuck feeling when I eat or drink and I get woken up at night with stomach acid coming up into my throat. Take my perlosex and zantax150 and nothing helps. Any ideas? is my surgon the person to go to or go right to the GI guy?

I read newly written one twice a day not sure where u r going when u come into the site.

for God sake why would u think the band is doing anything on day 17 with not fills...did u even listen to the doctor b4 and after surgery? heal and rest and follow the plan get your fills on time and as u go along you will loss and learn God give it a chance...

just nervous and adrdenlen is working....I usually get less hungry. how's your fill level and are u drinking enough at work?

take some sinus pill that should help....I have a cold and having the same problem not sure whats going on ...

Are your friend over weight? if they are then they are jeoulos that you are doing something positive for yourself. These are not friends or they would be supportive in any wa the by they could be. The know they are hurting you and hope you will give this up and start eating your old way. I go out to eat and have soup after I got the bsnd put in. Now that I am getting near goal people are telling me to stop I am getting to thin but realy I am getting close to there weight but I love it and will keep going weight loss if for me not anyone else.

Start therapy now its always helpful and it sound like you are in the right place to get a lot out of it. I have been heavy all my adult life but I am enjoying losing weight now and the way I look. I don't let my naked body bother me because I am not planning of showing that off but I am looking great in cloths and line dancer behind me now are liking the view a lot better. Go one day at a time and soon you will be braging ti all of us how your loving the work and the rewards.

I agree with the above the beginning is hard but it is so worth it. In 6 mos I am down 60 lbs and every day bless the band for being invented. I had 90 lbs to loss and cant beleive how close to goal I am now. Good choice you made to get the band and I look forward to hearing how you do...

boy if I hadn't loss I would be right in the office asking for help that's what he is there for even if its all in your head. I lost 10 mos from the beginning and 28 lbs from goal. I went throught all this to finally get it down and have a hard time understanding when someone isn't also.. I wish tons of luck and stuck it up and see your doctor, clean out the junk food and track ever bit you will get it down to..

It is very hard in the beginning I lived on creamed soups and as often as I needed to eat figured it was a healing time not a losing time but I did loss durning that time...It took 3 fill for me get get into the green and now it is a great place to be...its all so worth it just hang in there a while longer.

wow great job if I ever get over my cold I am going to aim for that....wow

you'll be able to have your bread utb in the right portion there is nothing you cant eat if you plan like all others diet have told us plan, plan, plan, so don't that be your excuse.... like is so good with the weight off and the trip isn't so bad either...you can do it

have you had these cramps b4? is it your TOM? does the heating pad help? and call your doctor

can he take the band out and do a sleve?

I have a cold but went to doctor for a pain in the middle of my chest that went to my back as well as pain/pressure in my throat. this second visit for this the doctor gave me maylox with litacane in it and within 5 mintues pain all gone. He said acid reflex but due to the cold the esophagus is swollen and now irritated that is cause the reflex who knew...I have some for home and new meds for the cold and I still fill ok...I am not going to eat anything soild tonight just to be careful but maybe this is happening to you.

I tell then explain how the band works specially mentally I never know who I can help with my story. But of course it is personnel for us all and there is plenty of time to share information. great job on you loss isn't it fun to have the work pay off for a change...I love it I am 28 lbs from goal and I have never ever been able to say that b4...I can see the goal line and it is so shinny its like winning a 5k run....

it is stiched in and it is not strechy that's why you hear us tslk about being stuck cause the bsnd is pretty firm and to big of bit just sits there cause that area no long stretches out...not to worry but do follow the plan so you heal faster. I know its hard at this stage but it really is for your health and success.

your band is under you breast at the bra cup line so the pain cant be from the band. So where is the pain? csll the doctor and see what they say. take a laxative semms if it helps

I didn't get out of that feeling until my 3 rd fill and I have been great for 3 mos I have a 10 cc band with 6.5 in it. Sounds to me like you need more in the band.

I gain and loss the 3 lbs daily cause you pee and have BM's and gain under 8 lbs is usually water and will float away.

if you already have emotion issues u might want to see a therapist first and understand why food means to you it will help in the long run. I felt great but then I have been on meds ( a lot of us are) for years so I was set.

get a doctor that more supportive..I have lost 60 lbs in 6 mos and very happy if you follow the plan and get enough fills you'll be fine. talk to your doctors about fills if they are to slow with then and u need one then you will be unhappy so folks can go with none other need to fill it half way find out does he put any in at surgery tie how much and how often and how much each time after that.

only u know if your ready it h was been the best thing I every did for myself. It is a diet along with the band. Can you clean out your house from the junk food? can you stay on a plan? can you track all your food...if u said yes then you can do it..you have a better chance to losse weight with the bsnd then any other way so do it

call your surgeons office they have worked with your insurance company before and can let you know how it works. I have depression and it wasn't a consideration it was all the other medical conditions I had that helped me get it covered.
