  1. What do people mean when they say their stuck? What is slippage? I'm somewhat aware, but I know it may be different for some people.
  2. Yes, please do. It is very helpful and thanks for doing that. I think you should let Alex know to put it up, newbies like myself find that very helpful. Also, congrats on 8yrs banded. I wish I did it yrs ago, but I got now. better late, then never.

    Stuck? Slip?

    NaNa....Woah! I read it...long but worth it. I understand Red, Green, and Yellow zone now. Plus, the eight rules make sense. Its all in what you eat. Band a tool, but its work. I love the article from the maker of the band. I see what makes it work and what wouldn't. Its all in the individual. Thanks!

    Port Issue!!

    Okay, I haven't been banded yet, but I'm trying to get all the info I can before my surgery. Yes, I've ask my Dr. but I want to ask people too. Where is the best place the port should be? Because after a yr with my band, I plan on getting a TT and I don't want it sticking out.

    Port Issue!!

    Aw ok, yeah, I'm a talk with my Doc on that. Good to know...thanks.
  6. Man I can't wait until I lose this weight for good once I'm banded. I have sleep apnea and I get up in the middle of the night in shock, heart rate pounding to where I feel like its not beating, then I go into panic because I get some sort of anxiety when it happens. Ugh!!! Anyone had sleep apnea with their weight at a high?

    Port Issue!!

    Ok, I was told under rib is the very uncomfortable. Constant pain, near breast area was better. But, good you have little trouble with the port.
