I went to a dermatologist about this and she recommended vitamins and rogaine. It worked for me!!!!

Hello all! Although I haven't had any of those traumatic sounding stuck episodes, I have had a lot of sliming (which leads to minor vomiting). Is this normal? Have you guys experienced this ? I know I need to work on eating smaller bites, chewing, and taking a break between bites.

I had this too. It is your insides adjusting to the band. You probably won't feel this for much longer.

I just got a fill today and he told me he hit a small vein and that I would bruise. Now it's a hard ball near port site. My hubby is an MD and said don't worry it's a hematoma but I want to hear your experiences. Thanks!

Hat did you all do when you plateaued ? I have lost 50lbs and am 5 mo out of surgery. What can I do to step up my losing power?

Awesome. I dvr it too ! He is my dr.

Thank you so much! I feel wonderful. You are an inspiration to me :-)

Down 50 lbs since January 1, 2014

I hope I can make it June 14

Thanks ladies. I didn't get the fill. I lost 8lbs last month so no real need. I think it's a better idea to stay like this for a while. Also, I tried chicken today for the first time since...success.

HOw long before a flight should I have a fill? Been banded in January and had 1 fill so far. I have an appt today and am going to Puerto Rico next Friday.

I wasn't vomiting or anything like that. I feel fine now. I guess that's how the band talks to us lol. I didn't get that feeling until about 20 min after I finished eating. Guess it was working it's way down

Hello. I was banded jan 15 and have lost 42lbs. The other day I over ate and felt a tightness under my bra underwire. After feeling uncomfortable it finally subsided. I am feeling some residual bloating and discomfort 2 days later. Is that normal? It doesn't hurt just feels uncomfortable. Now I totally understand the power of the band. I'm certainly not going to over eat again. You guys don't think my band slipped do you? I would be in more pain I guess.

Thanks! I feel really awesome.

Interesting but I worry about the source of these findings. My husband is a cancer specialist and had no prob w me getting band
