  1. Hello everybody; its been a long time. I have a question. Back in April, I was going in to do a tt (didn't do the tt!!) so i had gotten .5 cc to take out!! i had my ugi also and was told that i was too tight. ( i promise you guys i didn't feel i was tight) dr. took out all fill!! about a month later, started putting back fill, i am now at 10cc's. don't feel any restrictions and now my stomach is bulging making me look pregnant. what's the deal with that? Please, please i need responses!!!:rolleyes2:
  2. Hello Everybody; Its been a while since being on here. I have a question. I had gotten the saline taken out of the port about 3 weeks ago. I immediately gained 20 lbs. It was gas and I was too bloated. :tt2: Last week my surgeon put only 8cc's in my 10cc. (by the way, I am making him put back every ounce of saline) and I am still bloated and have gas. :biggrin: Whats the deal with that? Anybody is there anything I can do. I've tried gas-x and other methods
  3. hey swellshell; well my dr. says that we will have gas for the rest of our lives (smile) i am 3 years out and sometimes I do experience it. But you know what i've figured out as well, some foods i can't eat any longer and maybe that is a factor to some of the problems. my opinion
  4. question? how long do you guys feel unrestriction? for a week, couple of days? Knowing that all bodies are different, like i said when we lay down and when we get up, makes a big difference
  5. hi davsil; our bodies shifts, so i am assuming that saline will probably settle soon. 3 days ago, i could eat a lil sumthing. yesterday, a no go, today, had oatmeal, but now i can't eat until much later. how many fills have you had? But I am 3 years out and I am at the 10cc
  6. Hi guys. Yes, my goal is the tt on april 26th. yaay!!!!
  7. Oooo gingerjane. Yes been there done that!!!! Hee-hee!!That's a hater right there!!!! Girl, that is so funny, I know right now you don't feel like chuckling!!! hee-hee but girl, she knows that you gonna be looking better than her!!!! lolololol. I'm sorry to keep laughing!!!! Its so funny!!! That's her insecurity, not yours. You keep doing what you need to do!!!!! Now if you gonna sit there and let that hater stop you from doing what you want to do, than "shame" on you!!!! Don't take it personal jane!!! that's her faults not your. Now I do apologize for being blunt (smile) but its for your own good!!!
  8. Ohm; thats a good observation. I don't do the protein shakes my self. I try to get those other protein foods in. eggs, turkey, fish, etc. and also like your doctor stated, we should be exercising. but every bodies are totally different. What works for one, sure doesn't work for the other. How ever its gonna work, roll on!!!
  9. Omg, everybody. This was the best decisions that I made almost 3 yrs ago. It will be june 9th. I've reached my goal, at the top of the 10cc's and preparing for my tt on april 26th. wooo hooo!!!!:thumbup: For the ones that is preparing this journey, or the ones that just got it done and the ones who is on the journey; just let it ride, make sure you take care of yourself and the weight will come off!!!

  15. Hello Cure; First off, congrats on your journey!!! Secondly, I don't know which ones you've seen but there are quite a few ppl out here that have lost weight quickly. Since the band is only a tool, there are many things you have to do in order to lose the weight and then maintain. Exercise!!!! Whew, I'm telling you, I would probably be one of those ppl you saw on the site saying that they only lost 30lbs in a year. Its very important!!!! Well in my opinion it is and will be my life style until i leave this earth.
