Hello .... Since I had my second filling I have not been able to eat "normally", this was about 1 month ago ... I have lot tremendous amount of weight (I had my surgery Feb 24, 2007) and so far I have lost 30 kilos out of the 35 I need to drop, I am very happy about that, but what is starting to worry me, is that for the last 3 weeks I can not eat solids, I had startet with fish, since meat and chiken did get stuck on me, but now I can not eat fish either, I have talked to my doctor and this weekend he will see if I need to have my band loosen a little bit, he said that maybe my stomach was swollen, and it not the fact that I have not been able to eat solids, but also I have problems with liquids (water, juices, etc) that is what is getting to me the worst, I get so thirsty, but I can not drink enough Water, I have stoped excersicing, because I'm afraid I might get dehidrated. Has anyone had this problem? Regrds ... Malu

Hello I just had my 2nd adjustemnt on June 23rd, and It ws really hard for me While I had my 1st adjustment, I measure up my portion sizes prety well, making sure I had meals with enough Protein on it and less fat, I even had (everyday) a small bar of chocolate (i crave for chocolate like creazy) . But right after this adjustement I just can't seem to get my portion sizes. Last week (it was my birthday) I took a big size of chicken and it just got stock in my stomach, I had to force it out, and that irritated my stomach to the point that I had to be on a liquid diet for 2 days before I could start eating solids again. Basicly right now I eat for Breakfast 1/2 glass of Protein shake, I cant tolerate solids in the morning, for lunch/dinner 2 spoons of meat (chicken or fish) and a spoon of rice, I can take 1/2 of Soup before, but thats about it. Saludos ... Malu

Hello, Thank God I found this support forum. I was almost going insane, I had my lap ban surgery this past February 24, and it had gone great, I have just 11 kilos to loose. I'm in my 6 month after the procedure, but last month I notice that I lost hair in big amounts, I was reall y worried,but after reading from your experience, I have hope it will grow back. I'm from Mexico,
