I KNOW I SHOULD GO BUT I HATE TO TAKE ANY OF MY FILL OUT AND WHEN SHE PUT IT IN THIS TIME SHE MISSED AND MOVED THE NEEDLE AROUND AND I'M THINKING IT MIGHT HAVE SWOLLEN A LITTLE. AND I JUST CLEANED MYSELF OUT I SAW WHERE THEY TOLD YOU THAT, YOU WOULD THINK THEY COULD HAVE JUST LET YOU CLEAN YOURSELF OUT INSTEAD OF TAKING YOUR FILL OUT. I'M GOING TO TRY AND DRINK MY PROTEIN ONLY AND IF THAT DON'T WORK I WON'T EAT FOR A DAY IT WON'T KILL ME WE HAVE ALL DID IT AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. IF IT'S NOT BETTER IN 2 DAY'S I WILL GO TO THE DOCTOR AND DO WHAT I HAVE TO BUT I SURE HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO. I REALLY THINK IT'S SWOLLEN A LITTLE. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR THE INFO ABOUT THE REFLUX, LOSING MY BAND WOULD BE TOTALLY THE WORSE THING THAT COULD HAPPEN. AGAIN THANKS FOR THE WARNING AND I WILL GO IF IT DON'T STOP. SHARON

SINCE I CAN'T EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING ANYWAY COUNT ME IN ON THE THANKSGIVING CHALLENGE. GOOD LUCK EVERY ONE...:clap2::clap2: SHARON

= IF YOU WOULD LET ME KNOW HOW THINGS GO. I GOT MY FILL LIKE I SAID THE 16TH OF THIS MONTH AND DID THE LIQUID FOR 2 DAYS AND NOW I CAN'T EAT ANYTHING WITH OUT SLIM SORRY BUT YOU KNOW. I AM DOING THE SAME THING WITH CRYSTAL LIGHT TO. I GONNA TRY AND LOSE A LITTLE MORE WEIGHT AND HOPE IT WILL LOOSEN IT UP. MAYBE I'M A LITTLE SWOLLEN TO YOU THINK THAT COULD BE IT BECAUSE I COULD DRINK FOR 2 DAYS NOW I CAN'T. BEST OF LUCK AND KEEP ME UPDATED. :sick

:faint: HEY ,I GOT MY 3RD FILL THE 16 OF THIS MONTH AND I AM DOING LIKE YOU IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS STUCK IN MY THROAT AND I AM HAVING MANY PB'S ARE YOU? I AM HAVING THEM AND THEY ARE LASTING FOR A HOUR OR MORE I THINK I'M A LITTLE TIGHT TO DO YOU ALL THINK I SHOULD WAIT IT OUT AND JUST LOSE A FEW POUNDS AND DRINK LIQUIDS? IT'S PRETTY BAD. GOOD LUCK WITH YOURS MANGO. SHARON

<p> I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THE LAP BAND I HAVE JUST BEEN DOING IT MYSELF. WHERE DO YOU LIVE JUST 3 HOURS AWAY. THERE ARE VERY FEW TIMES I'M REALLY HUNGRY, IF I DO GET HUNGRY I DRINK A 100%WHEY PROTEIN DRINK BODY FORTRESS CHOC AT WALMART 14.00 FOR 2LBS AND THAT WILL FILL YOU UP SOME PEOPLE SAY YOU SHOULDN'T DRINK THEM I DON'T SEE WHY NOT THEY ARE GOOD FOR YOU AND HELP WITH THE PROTIEN AND I LIKE THEM. I DIDN'T DO THE BYPASS BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE THE IDEA OF IT. I DON'T THINK IT'S WORTH THE CHANCE. THE BAND IS A SAFE WEIGHT LOSS. IT'S SLOWER BUT IF YOU LOSE WEIGHT TO FAST YOU WILL HAVE MORE LOSE SKIN. I THINK AFTER A YEAR THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT THE SAME. I'M DISABLED I CAN'T RUN BUT I DO EXERCISE. I AM GETTING SOME GRIT BACK AFTER BEING DOWN FOR MOSTLY 5 YEARS AND YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TO LOSE COMPARED. I HAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN THAT BUT NOT MUCH AND IT'S JUST A LOW CARB AND HIGH PROTIEN. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO EAT SOMETIMES IT'S HARD FOR ME TO EAT 3 MEALS A DAY. AND YOU CAN HAVE A TREAT EVERY NOW AND THEN. WE HAVE S/F PUDDING, S/F JELLO, I LIKE COOL WHIP ITS EMPTY NUTRITION BUT IT'S GOOD SO WHAT DOES IT HURT. CARB SMART POPSICLES. ONE MORE PLUS THE SURGERY IS A BREEZE! I JUST READ I HAVE NOBODY TO HELP I THOUGHT THE HOSPITAL HAD GROUPS AFTER SURGERY. BUT I DO NEED A FRIEND TO WORK WITH. SORRY I TALKED SO LONG BUT YOU ASK LOL. MY EMAIL IS REDRUNNER61@AOL.COM I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE MAYBE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT. I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM THIS HOUSE<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/car.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Car" smilieid="141" class="inlineimg" /> I HOPE YOU ARE CLOSE TO MY AGE! WRITE SOON.</p>

Thank You So Much For The Information You Just Stay On Here So You Can Help Us. I Doing Pretty Good So Far. I Have Also Lost 5.5 Of Fat Maybe You Can Tell Me The Difference In Losing 25 Lbs And 5.5 In Fat. Is That Ok For 2 Months. But I Havent Been To The Doctor. It Will Be A Month The 16 Of Oct So I Know I Have Lost Quite A Bit More Of Pounds Or Fat Or Both. I Don't Get On The Scale Until I Go Back To The Doctor.thank You For You Great Information. Good Luck. By The Way Dr.morton Did Mine To Isn't He So Nice. And He Did A Great Job. Shand

Thanks For Your Email Let Me Know How Everything Goes. I'm Just Out 2 Months Today. My Email Is redrunner61@aol.com Drop Me A Line When Ever You Get The Time. Where Do You Live? Sharon

Yes It's Normal, I Had More Pain In My Left Shoulder Due To Gas But I Guess It Never Came Out. Have You Got Your Protein Drinks Yet? That Will Help You From Being Hungry Just Go Slow. And Try And Get Your Water In To That Helps The Hunger To. And Broth. I Got My First Fill 3 Weeks After Surgery So Maybe It Won't Be To Long. Good Luck And Let Me Know If That Helps And Just Do What Ever Else The Doctor Says. Shand

I GOT MY BAND JULY 30,2007 AT BAPTIST HOSPITAL IN NASHVILLE. THEY WERE GREAT. DR. CHARLES MORTON DID MY BAND AND HE IS GREAT. I HAVE HAD 2 FILLS AND I WILL GET MY 3RD ONE OCT 16,2007 AND I WILL BE GLAD. I HAVE HEARD OF THE SWEET SPOTS BUT I DON'T THINK I HAVE HIT MINE YET BUT HOPEFULLY THE 3RD TIME IS A CHARM. I GUESS I AM LOSEING OK. I JUST HAVE TO GET IN MY HEAD THIS IS A LONG TERM THING. CAN SOME ONE TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE IN LOSING FAT AND LOSING POUNDS? I LOST 5.5 OF FAT LAST MONTH AND 25 POUNDS THE MONTH BEFORE THAT. IT WILL BE A MONTH THE OCT16TH 07 SINCE I HAVE BEEN TO THE DOCTOR I KNOW I HAVE LOST QUITE A BIT MORE I DON'T WEIGH BETWEEN DOCTORS VISITS. SO I HOPE I WILL BE PLEASANTLY SUPRISED. GOOD LUCK EVERY BODY. I HOPE TO FIND SOME FRIENDS ON HERE TO TALK TO I HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE BUT NO ONE EVER TALKED TO ME SO I DELETED ALL OF THEM AND I'M GOING TO TRY ONE MORE TIME. SO HOPE TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE. SHAND OR SHARON :clap2:
