I love my growing confidence. I missed her, she's buried a long time.

I meant to write area of the band. It's why I wear a med I'd bracelet with it. I was recently in a situation where I was in so much pain I couldn't open my mouth without puking. So that bracelet helped me explain my band before they stuck that tube down my throat. And my surgeon was called

I just went through that surgeon emptied the band first scope can damage the band if it's tight

I had surgery in end of November 2013 and have had two adjustments last one was 5 weeks ago. I've lost 46 lbs and I can eat approx 1/2 cup to 1 full cup of food. Or more depending on what it is (sliders try to avoid) all of a sudden in the last week I'm getting heart burn after I eat (none a night) I don't think I'm eating spicy food so I'm baffled. I thought at first it was sore throat because I get reflexive swallowing since banding (allergies I think) I don't know what's going on. Anyone else go thru this?

I went to a Christmas party three weeks out one glass of white wine and was violently ill not long after drinking it. I thought it might of been too soon

Can't deal with bread. It's a bully and steak is nearly the same

Right a bunch of roid heads have opinions on WLS that matter? In reference to the article itself: Wow people really need to not comment on things they have absolutely no understanding of. As I've learned it's one thing to be thought of as foolish and quite another to open your mouth and prove it.

Right

Omg I went through this with my own mom. First thing out of her mouth was oh please don't you'll die. And that's how it went every conversation till i told her until she's carried my weight to shut the f up. I'd be dead before fifty remaining this way so what's the diff? She's more supportive now after I've done it and loves to hear of any loss. Don't sweat it she'll get over it. ESP after she sees results.

Can't do even a little won't cooperate. I love peanut butter and this one made me cry not even bread upset me like this one

So if I chug water and it still sort of hurts 3mos out is it dangerous? (terrified of slippage)

I just wanted to share how thing are going since banding back. n November. So I've lost 33 lbs which is great but I pray it speeds up or at least doesn't stop. I am eating less have a whole list of foods I've tried that the Beast won't tolerate. I've had one fill about two weeks ago and now I'm down to a 1/2 cup of food. I eat more than that and it's a world of pain for me. I feel full for hours but I'm still battling head hunger in earnest. I wonder constantly am I doing this right? I eat till I feel full which is approximately when the hunger stops. I struggle with slowing down still and taking smaller bites (alot of eating on the go to undo) I pray constantly that I don't screw this up because I truly don't want to have to do any kind of further WLS if I can avoid it. I'm thankful for the support group here. Was curious about how your journey is going?

Yeah I,think that's what concerns him he wants me to be good for me not what everyone else is doing. I'll get over it but for now im stewing about it.

Your story broke my heart. Prayers that it gets better for you and your angels. Glad you know you must do what best for you and your children with or without him.

My doc won't tell me how much is in there or how much he recovered or put in. Im kinda aggravated but maybe it's a good thing. He knows im very inquisitive about all thing medical and ESP my band. I think he doesn't want me to be obsessive about it? Im not really that way just curious really. I don't know, I feel that this is mine and I have a right to know but he won't tell. I love him to pieces but this is annoying me.
