How much in a 4 cc band does everyone have to have consistent weight loss??

Have done it when really have craving and feel guilty about having it

I have had five fills and this last one I have felt restriction like the nurse practioner said it will take 4 to 5 fills to get the restriction you need very impatient but I have lost 56 pounds not where I wanted to be but I will keep trying to find that sweet spot let you know

gooooooooooo.

This is like dejavu my husband met me for the four years I was relatively thin 145 150 5 4 and over our 13 year marriage have gained 100 pounds he was verbally abusive and called me names and said fat jokes and was always hounded me but I felt stuck I have 4 children and had zero self esteem but one day after 10 years of marriage I confronted him and told him I had had enough he was verbally abusive I did not want him if he didn't love me I didn't want him there just for the kids and he realized that he had hurt me severly and he admitted that he did all those things he said that he loved me and he never once after that mentions fat or lazy or none of the choice words he had to describe me. All it does is wear on your self esteem and you end up believing it I did lap band for me but I can say I can't wait to reach goal and jam it in his face.

I want to do it to count me in How are we going to check in with our progress??

What are the cheese balls caused from can they get rid of them I think I have the same thing

The negative is slow weight loss I'm impatient a flipped port and occasional pb but I have lost weight not gained and that is a plus I still want to lose 60 more but at 1/2 1 pound loss a week it will take awhile oh well our time will come

I think the band is more follow-up after surgery and it takes awhile to find restriction but I chose it because I didn't want re-routing but I would get rny if this fails. so far okay losing weight very slowly

Could you guys tell me when did you quit getting fills when can you tell that this is enough what is the defining factor I have gotten I think 4-5 fills and am scheduled for another one I feel tight but how do I know it could be better please help

How much have you all lost?????

Thanks all you guys for the support words can hurt. "It didn't work anyways" I over the years have taken alot of crap because I think I am not worthy but I am trying to better myself and I am determined the lap band will help me thank all of you and I love this site and am staying everyone have a good day.

What are the symptoms of a slipped band from the people who have had one what would be the feelings you have in your body. thanks

I am so upset my husband got in a fight over our computer keeps shutting down so he thinks its from e-mails and this lap band site why who knows then he has to put in his two cents your always on that site and it didn't work anyways I was so upset okay I am not where I want to be yet but I have lost 54 pounds in 8 months with some problems with re-operation of my port it flipped so why is it other people notice and he can't give me credit oh just had to let off steam

I know she is definetly whacked one show she was so out of line it was embarrasing I think Chris is going to win

My doctor does fill 4-6 weeks apart I have had 4 or 5 fills finally I feel restriction very long process.

Just want to say I am at 200 pounds I am so happy that was one of my goals I am on my way look out 143

You know whats true I thought getting the band I would not have to diet but you do and it has taken a long time to resolve to that fact blahhhh.

Its very normal after surgery they give you tons of fluids you swell from the surgery your not moving as much after a week it will subside

Can feel it when he leans on it but it wasn't painful just felt pressure on the site.

I just take the pills whole haven't had a problem so far.

Does it seem difficult to lose weight before during and after your menstual cycle it seems I always put a .5 to 1 pound on prior to my period and it takes so long to get it back off it is so frustrating. The bloat and the retention just frustrated

I thought of it seems you lose weight alot quicker with it. A girl did have the band swithched to rny and she looks great no complications with her but who knows I'm not to quick for more surgery anytime soon although the band is harder than rny because of the absorption factor I guess its a personal matter but I have thought of it too.

I thought Kevin was definetly out but he wont' make it to number 1 anyways he is so geeky. Chris is number 1 vocally. Michele or Mandisa or lisa for the girls. Who knows its lucky they made it this far. only time willl tell.

For the people out there that have hypothyroidism or some form of it how was it diagnosed and what blood tests were done to discover it. My daughter was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism for short stature and the doctor says it runs in families I believe I had tsh done but not t3 or t4 I always thought something was not right with my metabolism but anyway if any body has experience with this let me know so I know what to tell my doctor I want for blood tests.
