  2. Thanks Matt Z
  3. Well, I've not been on here in a while but I need to see if anyone has been through this before. I just celebrated my 5th year with my lapband and my bananniversary was on Nov.8th 2018. On Nov.9th they Emptied my Band due to a Upper GI infection which cause my ban to be Inflamed causing me problems With even trying to drink water. December 21st 2018 will be my 1st fill To which I will have to start all over again to find my green zone. It's been a while since I've had to deal with the hunger pains and I know some of it is head hunger , But nevertheless It's still Hunger I'm feeling. If you have been through this And would like to offer some encouragement, advise or tips, I would really appreciate it for I'm really struggling right now.

  18. Is it normally 2 cc's? That's great if they do but I thought it was just 1 cc to start off with.

  25. Why does it take a few fills to notice? Why don't the doctor give you the amount you need? Is it to make money?
  26. I'm so excited to finally getting my first feel tomorrow! Can anyone help me in what to expect? Will it hurt? Will they numb the area? And how will I know if it's too tight or not tight enough before I leave. I'm kinda nervous but excited too, your input would be greatly appreciated. :-)
  27. Well the butter is what Quick Weight loss said when I was going to them before the ban, it did seem to help and to me made sense.:-)
  28. Hair loss is caused by losing the fat that holds your hair in, so I was told that 1 pat of butter per day would help keep your hair from falling out. You can mix it in your eggs when cooking them. Now if you lose a lot of weight at one time you may need additional help to keep it in. You need some fat in your diet, but not too much.
