Texas Rose reacted to MsDuran in Year anniversary
Well... It's been a year since I took the leap and got the lapband! I would do it all again tomorrow ! I must say a year out and I am JUST getting the hang of this new life I have to live now.! I'm down 62 pounds and according to my bmi and my dr I'm no longer morbidly obese or even obese.. Just simply overweight.. 52 more pounds to go but I've got this! Life is good....!!!

Texas Rose reacted to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! in band hadn't been filled yet!!!
Having adequate Fluid in your band will help to control hunger. Optimally, it should allow you to to be satisfied on a cup or less of food for at least 4 hours. However, some people take multiple fills to reach this point so don't be surprised if you don't notice a lot (or any) difference after your first fill.
Now as far as cutting back on what you can eat- that's not the band's the job. That's your job. The band's job isn't to restrict what you can physically eat. It will always be your job to make good food choices and stay within band sized portions.
Have a look at this link, I think it'll help you considerably: http://drsimpson.net/fills/Lap-band-eating/lap-band-not-restriction/lap-band-and-restriction.html
Best wishes.

Texas Rose got a reaction from alknva in band hadn't been filled yet!!!
I had that same fear I had second thoughts as to why I had the surgery but it's because you have NO restriction. This is in case of swelling. Some people swell more than others after surgery better to be too loose than too tight. Your going to do great it just takes a while to get to that darn green zone.
