  1. Please help! I have 6.75 cc in a 9 cc band. I have lost 60 lbs and was feeling great. I am in a slump for the past 7 months and am gaining weight because I eat all day. I can't get it through my head to stop and I feel disgusting!! Tight in the am and as long as I keep grazing I can eat more and more during the day.

  5. Almost to 60 now....have lost 57 lbs now
  6. I have been experiencing a lot if hair loss over the last few months....my hair is everywhere and comes out every time I touch my hair. Anyone else experience this? What did you do?
  7. Talk to your pharmacist. I had the same and had to use a capsule and break it open.
  8. Got my fill today and everything is perfect!
  9. My port started hurting a bit last week. It hurts if I move the wrong way or carry something a bit heavy. I am scared to death that my port flipped from the things that I have read. My port has always been sensitive but now there is a pulling every now and then inside. I think now I am hyper sensitive to anything that goes on. Any ideas what it may really be? I am going for a fill tomorrow so I will see for sure.
  10. Happy 50 day to me! I weighed myself this morning and I am down an incredible 50 lbs!!!!!
  11. I was banded on Jan 28/13 and to date I have lost 49 lbs! I feel so much better. I am now shopping in the lg - xlg section which feels surreal to me!!! 67 more pounds to go!!
  12. I seem to get a slight hiccup when I'm full... Not that I feel full for long because I am sooo hungry!
  13. Yay! My shoulder pain has been gone for a couple of days now...do not want that back anytime soon!
  14. I had my surgery Monday and still have some shoulder pain. It gets worse when I sit, lay down or walk around the block. Anyone else had this for several days?
  15. My surgery day was great! Yesterday I had a lot of gas pain and today some gas and lots of shoulder pain. I can't wait to feel better again.
  16. Thanks! Today I have some gas pain. Using gas ex and trying to keep up with the pain meds.
  17. Today went awesome and I just have a tiny bit of pain where my port incision is. My tummy sure gurgles when I drink something
  18. Tomorrow is my day!! I can't wait to post on here that everything is done and went well. I am excited and so glad that the day is finally here!
  19. It's getting easier for me. I am on day 9 of 14 and yesterday was so much better. Everyone is going to handle it differently. I could eat a Protien and veggies 3x per day and was still hungry after, now I am more content. I was use to eating so much before I had a hard time with my reduction of carbs and sugar. And... I haven't cheated! Although I still want a chocolate bar really bad!!
  20. I have been told many times by doctors and orthopaedic surgeons that Asics put the most money of all the brands into the design of support in the shoe. I realize everyone has their brand that they like and i did too. However I bought Asics recently and they really support my feet. It has helped a lot with the plantar fasciitis which is now gone.
  21. Becks, I went through a horrible time a couple weeks ago feeling like this. I questioned everything you can think of.. Did I make the right decision, did I chose the right clinic, did I do enough research on this clinic, are the surgeons going to kill me, ... My list goes on and on. I had so much anxiety and panic I couldn't stand myself. I called the clinic I am going to and let them know how I was feeling. They gave me reassurance and answered all of my questions also consulting with me more. I am now at ease and my surgery is on Monday.
