  1. Yes that's what it sounds like to me. Many of us are usually tighter in the morning. I have also noticed that since it's colder, I'm tighter. Just take really small bites and chew chew chew. However, if you find that after another week you are still experiencing pain, I would request a small unfill. Best wishes
  2. Yes B-52 it is. It is really amazing how this band works. I'm like you, I can't overeat if I tried. If I forget and eat quickly, the band does what it's supposed to do. I'm still losing inches even though I'm not trying. Life is totally grand!!! Thank you.
  3. That's great! Congratulations!
  4. Yesterday made three years I've been banded. I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. I am below goal, I don't count calories anymore, I do watch what I eat because I don't want to get stuck. Life below goal is AWESOME!!!!
  5. Mine too!!! No problems with any exercise.
  6. I stay cold too. I've been asked if I'm anemic. I'm like nope!!! Lol
  7. Hope your "procedure" went well for you yesterday. Personally, I would tell my boss and ask him or her to keep it confidential because you may need time off to get your fills. Something to think about.
  8. Today is the day. Wishing you a successful surgery and a blessed recovery.
  9. I don't believe anyone can feel the band as it is a belt around the stomach. Many of us can however see and feel our ports depending on the position it is in and how much weight we have lost. Nothing to worry about though.
  10. Awesome!!! Keep healing.
  11. You may just want to ask that question on the sleeve site. I'm sure there are individuals posting who have converted. Best wishes

  13. Hi Floridays, I too am up on three years as well. I'm still maintaining and still losing inches since I reached my goal this summer. I love my band so much. Congrats on maintaining.
  14. Sending peace and blessings your way.
  15. Sounds like a happy ending. Continued success!
  16. Yes, doctor's instructions are different. I am almost three yrs. po-stop and I had to always fast before a fill and do liquids after.
  17. I certainly hope they find something to treat you with. Good luck and best wishes.
