I am due to have band removal on Nov. 30th then sleeved 8 weeks later. I was banded in 2013 and lost 42 lbs but that's all. Every time they tightened the band I would get so sick and reflux is so bad. I slime all the time. It was getting to the point I could not eat hardly anything. Even Soup was an issue at times.

I had by band put in March of 2013. I lost 48lbs no problem. But as I continued to get filled, I started getting reflux bad, my food kept getting stuck even slider foods. I slime all the time. My doctor doesn't even put the bands in anymore. I still don't eat much and can not eat meat at all since being banded. I go in to have the band removed at the end of this month. Then will be sleeved 8 weeks after. Sent from my Z963VL using the BariatricPal App

You look awesome!!!!

Was banded March 19, had 1cc fill then 2cc fill. And I feel like I can eat a horse:( feeling frustrated.

Dont be nervous I was so nervous and had my bp up and it turned out to be nothing to worry about:)

Thank you so much for the advice

I am having trouble eating some meat and cant stand any of the protein shakes and believe me I have tried 8 different brands. Is there any other good ways to get my protein in?

Ok so I went for my first fill yesterday...and may I say I was worried over nothing. My doc put in 1cc he said I was doing great but because I am still feeling restriction when eating he didnt want to over do it by putting in 3ccs. And I am glad he did 1cc because when I got up this morning I could hardly eat lol. I go back in 6 weeks for my next fill.

I was banded on March 19, it took until April 25 to actually start feeling completely normal around my incisions. I was able to lay on my stomach without the tenderness. But all of a sudden today for some reason I went to lay on my side and then when I turned over there the tenderness was again...ugh now all day it has been tender wtf? I go to my doctor this Monday but has anyone else had this problem? Will I ever feel normal? The doctor said I should be able to do anything that I was doing before...whether wrestling around, hard-core exercise etc....but it doesnt seem like I ever will be able to do anything like that. Frustrated!

Going to get my first fill on Mon. May 6th...excited & nervous at the same time.
