Glad to see you had nothing wrong; keep up the good work on losing weight. Let me how you're doing in future. :cursing:

Your doing GREAT with your weight loss, hope you get the reflux under control. Maybe you should have an upper GI done, it’s easy and they can see when you’re swallowing what’s going on in your stomach? Good Luck the best to you! :cursing:

If you start having reflex, that means you’re over eating or the band is to tight, let your doctor no so he can help. I no from the past exp. I went threw.

The same happen to me and I caused myself to have to have my band removed, the band is to tight.... It makes you have reflux may cause you to have a slip. Be careful..... See your doctor about the reflux......

You look fantastic, sounds like your very happy with yourself. Keep up the good work you're putting into yourself. Your picture, what a big change!

Yes, your right I forgot that, I done exactly that and didn't loose any wieight also.

Glad you're doing better now, Boy 7 pound is great, what a way to do...... Your doing great, one year goes by fast........

I think you should go back to the doctors and take out more. Then wait a week or so and have some put back in, see how you're doing. I was having reflex even when I drank water. I had some taken out, much better. Hope your doing better since you wrote this message.

Yesterday I went back after being unfilled for almost 6 week with weight gain of 4 pounds. Not good, could of been worst. Doctor put back in 1.5 and now I fill full again. If it happens again then I need to have the band redone. When I was this level before I had bad heart burn bad. Good luck.........:smile2:

The 12th will be here before you no it, I am completely empty also, out over one year, yes I want to eat too, and a lot...... Hang in there; try food of more Fiber and substance, what I mean is thick, heavy type food. I do this and it helps me. Have you tried drinking Water 30 minutes before eating? I'm trying to think of what has helped me in the past. Have you tried not chewing the hell out of your food, maybe it is to mushy and not filling you up and goes right threw the band? Once you get your fill the weight will start falling off of you and you won't be so hungry.

Hi, Have you tried a support group to help you? I would write down all you eat, maybe the calories are to high you are consuming, try eating protein first, then veggies and if you have to then carbs. I join a support group, it has open my eyes, I now see what I'm eating, amounts, when I turn to food. I now drink over 64 oz of water daily, it help you feel full. I haven't exercises either but the doctor wants me to and I need to, just don't no why I don't. :cursing:

Let me no how it's going in a couple of days. How much did they put in your band? Your on the right track.:cursing:

I have learned that if you keep track you can see what works for you. I was unfilled two weeks ago and wait until June 12 for an upper GI, then maybe at that time they will refill me again and I can start losing weight..... I hope this happens! PS. I need to start working out, this website has a place where we can go to join in on working out.

Hi, You will always be able to eat and drink at the same time, but don't only drink 15 minutes before or 30 minutes after you eat, if you do, it will all wash threw your band and it won't feel like you had surgery at all! Try very hard not to drink when eating.

Boy, Do I know, you get sick, pain and other stuff happens to you. I don't think you can do damage, just start over the next day. Drink plenty of Water at least 64oz a day. Keep it up your doing great.

I glad you found this site, it's help me out alot with useful information. Maybe you need another adj to start losing wight again? Drink at least 64 oz of water a day. :thumbup:

Why did you have to be unfilled? I just was unfilled also, the last adj I had made me have heartburn so bad almost very night. I had some pain, the upper GI showed my band had slipped. So now I have to wait until June 12th for another upper GI and then then doctor will let me know if I can have a fill again. I leave for a trip on June 20th, I don't want to gain weight either. I'm trying very hard not to eat to much and make the right choices:frown:

You know I feel the same way you do. I didn't realize it until just lately, that people are more helpful, smiling, hold the door open also. I must have been in my own world, never the notice how people were towards me. I didn't care before what people thought of me. I always dressed nice, did my hair and wore make-up. But noe I have started to notice a difference in people. I still need to loose 100 pounds to reach my goal. I'm now after one year haveing some problems with my band, Thursday I had to have my band unfilled, my band has slipped a little and need to wait four weeks, then recheck my band before going foward again. I don't have any great advice, just look foward and keep up the good work. :hand::biggrin::wink2:

Try the Water first, see if you doctor has a support group you can go to. When you get your first adj that should help you. Try eat slow, take 30 min. to eat, put you fork down between bites. You'll make it....... :wink2:

Well, I felt the same way you're feeling. I join the support group where I had my surgery, its help me a lot, its in your head your hungry, or you need to drink at least 64 Oz of Water through out the day. Wait 30 minutes after drinking some water and see if you still feel the same way, if you are then eat food. The classes open my eyes for me, made me think before I would eat, still have 90 more pounds to go, but we will all get there. Keep up the good work.

Well, I should be working out, but not..... I need to I'm at a stand still with my weight.:cool2:

I can't stand this heartburn, wakes me up in the middle of the night, I have it when I even drink Water. I'm also going to try some of the suggestions before I have a little unfilled also. Good Luck.:crying:

Thank you, I will try the Pecped Complete, sstarting today! Thanks

Yes, I'm having problems since my last fill, it was about a month ago. I was banded Feb 2007. :confused2:

Hi, Has your band sliped? Mine did and had to have it unfilled. We waited 9 weeks and had it filled again. Now everything is good and lost 100 pounds, was banded the day after you. If you eat soft of mushy food this will put pounds back on or stgop your weight lost, I know it happen to me. Have you talk with you doctor about what happens to you?
