  1. U did not fell....the lapband in my opinion was not the best choice and was not research properly by the FDA...alot of doctors dont do the lapband surgery...I removed my band last year and it was the best decision I've made so far...I was miserable..had meat stuck most of the times..was not happy at all...again this is my experience...all I can tell you is be strong keep going to the gym stay focus and be positive. Best of luck!
  2. My advice would be to go to your surgeon ASAP... and if your throwing up liquids ... Sound like the band slip or your too tight ... I would go as a walk in and ask for X-rays of the band

  5. I Know you guys wanted me to keep you posted so here goes, I was at 192 but the I had to get unfill since I was throwing up now am up to 207 pounds which is still way less than 265....I will go to the doctor to receive my fills and have a better restriction, I not so happy about gaining the 15 pounds but I am trying my best........so hopefully by June once my insurance kicks back in, I can get on my grind and keep continuing where I left off....and of course I have pictures!!! Hope everyone does not stop which is the most important thing!! I lost a total of 58 pounds!! The difference of 265 to 200!!!
  6. So I had my first fill last Tuesday and lost 6 pounds I guess with da liquid diet....but now am very hungry and when I try to eat I get that stuck pain that I use to get in the begining I don't know if this is normal...or if am just suppose to learn how to chew better???? Oh n I gain 7 pounds back in a week !!!!......can someone please tell me there experience...
  7. I think 2 cc should be good..I did 2cc and I deff feel the restriction...in only one week I lost 6 pounds...just make sure u follow the liquid diet all over again for the first 3 days...but next time I would do it for 4 days.....and then gradually go bak to eating food
  8. I just got my first fill as well but only 2cc....maybe I should of got 4cc as well??
