I had 2cc in a 4cc band I was going the wrong way (eating to much) so I went for another fill and the put in another cc. At 3cc's I suliva was making me pb Thank god for unfills. I was so dehydrated that when I went into get it one of the nurses went to the store and got me some pedialite and they made me stay there and drink 3 of them. I like how they care enough to do that, and I like that I can go back without waiting to get this done. I now have my sweet spot and have lost 35 lbs sence they took .5 cc's out. I learned a great lesson in two day's ( DON'T BE IN A HURRY) lol. Gratefull for banding in Traverse City Michigan. Luv ya all and God bless!!!!

I can get into that stuff now

You don't want to body build so do less weights and do more reps or you will gain because you're gaining muscles. And always rest you muscles and do your protien please.

I was banded on 06/06/2007 and have only lost 11 pounds went in for a fill and now can't even swallow water so I need a little unfill and hopefully I will get on track.

Thank you all and god for this page. I thought I was going crazy! I'm calling my Dr. in the morning for a little unfill. It's been two months sence my last fill and they just put another cc in now I'm at 3cc's and pbing I can't take it, it hurts if it worent for you all I would not know that I'm ok and it's not just me. Thank you:)

Vanilla Ice Cream Gold Standard Whey 100% Protien by (ON) is the besssssttttt stuff out there. You can just add anything, mix it with a spoon and go. Great flavor. Get it at GNC. I know I sound like a comercial but, I, along with some good banding friends enjoy the fact that we can add water or milk or juice or friut and it will still taste good and wont make you gross out.

I'm two months out and (yes) it does hurt when food get's stuck. This is the time to start chewing 28 times before swallowing. When you start eating sollids then cut meat into very little pieces and try to chew 28 times each piece and when you feel pressure in the chest area then stop for a couple of minutes to see if it goes down or not. if it does go down then eat one or two more bites slowly and give the food time to go down then go from there.

I was banded June 7th 2007 First fill is in one week and looking forword to it but scared as heck. Dr Featherstone in Traverse City Michigan is awesome. :dance:I'd like to fallow some of your jurnery's so I'm happy that this forum exists. Remember one day at a time and it wont seem so overwhelming. I've lost 16 pounds so far but that's because I stoped drinking my Coke:faint:lol, but it's worth it and I actually have more energy because of it. Well good luck everyone and God Bless ya's.
