I just took a road trip and found the best thing for me was lunch meat.

Out of curiosity, how long have you been banded?

Hi,

I've got size 14 pants...jeans and a couple work slacks. PM me your info and I'll send to you, I'm not liking to make a buck, just pass down

Hopefully you will start feeling restriction soon. That's another thing I'm kind of worried about. I just bought a four way band from everlast. Hopefully those 5lbs will come off quickly. Keep me posted on your fill.

Will do, let me know how those 5 pounds are doing.

Who is your doc? Mine is Frank Chae at Skyridge Highlands Ranch?

Dr. Brown at St Luke's. I really like him, he reminds me of Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation.

Oh, and good luck with that 5 pounds!

The fills are not painful at all. I'm still hungry, no real restriction yet. Everybody has told me it takes at least 3 to feel it. My next one is 12/11.

No problems yet. I've only had a couple fills and not getting the restriction I'm looking for but, I'm told that's normal. I started with a low BMI of 33. I've lost a total of 19 pounds including the 3 day pre op. So far I'm happy I made this choice. Do you know when your. Surgery might be?

I was banded 9/13 but in Colorado.

I'm from Reno, miss it tons.

I had a kink in my tube once...lot's of kick back through the syringe...nothing to do with restriction.

Did it fix itself?

I sure hope he doesn't tell me this is all the fills I'm going to get. I've lost 12 pounds since surgery and I'm starving.

Thanks 2muchfun for the response. I didn't understand what he meant and why I couldn't feel it.

Oh and now has 4.5cc's.

It's a 10cc band.

Hi,

I was banded 9/13 and had my 2nd fill yesterday. Both fills the doctor said he got push back and could feel the restriction. First fill he gave me 3.5cc's, yesterday was 1cc. I'm starving and it's not head hunger. Why can't I feel what he says is restriction. Getting annoyed and discouraged.

NaNa, thank you for posting this article. I've been banded for just under two months and starting to feel discouraged and turning to old habits. I REALLY needed to read this. Thank you

Checking in at 161.

Going for my first fill tomorrow

I'll check it out now, thank you!

I'm on the market for a good lap band cook book...any suggestions? I'd like to find one with recipes for all stages.

I'm having the same issue. I'm eating about 800 calories a day but my doc wants me at 1200. I'm full and don't want to over do it.

I use the 'Eating Slow' app on my iPhone. You can adjust to whatever speed you want.
