Was wandering if a group was ever started? I live in Dallas Ga.. Would love to meet up with others soon, Patricia

Have lots of 2x and 1x shirts and size 16 and 18 jeans in the Georgia area

Well I am all about chatting with some new friends , I really need someone to talk to about my eating habits, it's horrible. Since my last fill on Dec 2, 2013, I can't seem to keep anything down. I have had problems slowing down... And everything gets stuck, even my drinks seem to make me sick. I believe I spit up at every meal. Not throwing up, just spitting out excess on too. I am not sure that's normal. Because of my fast eating!! Any advice

Looking for someone to share food ideas, meet for lunch and chat and someone to maybe work-out with... Pat

I am in Jonesboro, good luck!!!

I need 14's desperately. Finally out of the 16s

I believe that I have 3 1/2 cc's in my band now!

Banded on Aug 29,2013 just had my 3rd fill and I have been experiencing cramps in my stomach area after eating or drinking any thing. It comes in waves, I have to spit out food at every meal. Still trying to SLOW down... is the cramping a normal stuck problem or something I should worry about?

Thanks everyone, I called today and was told try slowing down and smaller bites!! GUILTY i really am trying old habits are hard to break. Pat

I am looking for lapband buddies in my area for support and encouragement, and maybe lots of prayer. Pat

Hello Georgia band girl!! How are you doing so far?

How is everyone doing so far? I'm ok it's been 2 months and I am still adjusting, had my second fill about 3 weeks ago and I am still getting daily stuck problems, I really need to learn to slow down and chew, really struggling. I have to spit up overflow at every meal just about. It's not a forced spit-up but the stuff that feels stuck in my lower throat. But I feel great other than that- weighed last night made it to 199- whoohooo super excited .

I also ha a hernia repair- I used dr gorjava in southern regional for my surgery. And we should meet up once a month for support, do you have a support class near you? Have one at sothern Regional once a month

Hello, I'm about 6 weeks out and I just had my second fill- feeling great. Hellooooo neighbor!!! Oh I'm from Jonesboro, and I need a support system myself. WELCOME

Ok this is what I'm feeling, so I DO NOT wash it down! Ok I will try this next time, I think I may not be taking small bites, or I'm eating to fast

Are you suppose to feel stuck in your lower neck, top of chest

What do you do when this happens, I kinda feel like I'm choking

That makes since, good to know. Lol I wasn't sure that is what was happening, so I tried washing it down with water, did not want to choke.

I ask my Dr what size band I had he just said large, and he put 2cc in it and said I will do 2 more next month.

I have lost 22 pounds so far :-D yehh

Hows everyone doing so far? I am not feeling any restrictions so far:-( looking forward to my 2nd fill.

Thanks for the tip, I love this site, great people and advice. Wonderful support. But looking forward to my next fill. :-)

I have only had my first fill, and I feel no different, ;-( I'm ready for some restriction, my dr said I received 2cc and he will put 2cc more in a month. That's so long to have no restriction, I think.
