I w as banded in 2007 and met my goal of 100 Lbs lost I thought I did wonderful well that came to a end when my daughter told me she was preg. and that I needed to quit smoking so I did and gained 25 lbs. Just went for a fill the dr. didnt put much in hoping I lose the weight before summer went from a sz 20 to a 12 which was my goal and now I am back to a 16. here is a word of advice dont get rid of all of your fat close just put them in storage or you will be like me having to go out and buy them all over again I have learned my leason I will be putting the larger ones in storage and hopfully never to be in my house again.

I so agree with everything u said. I am 52 and retired. I was banded about 3 yrs. ago. This yr. has been amazing for me. I did the Avon Breast Cancer Walk (me can't believe it). My Cousin and Daughter wanted to do the walk and I said No there is no way I can walk 40 miles. But my daughter kept on me saying that I could that all I needed to do was try. well I didnt do the whole 40 but I did do 26 miles AMAZING. I LOVE my life wish I would have done it sooner.

I was banded 3 1/2 yrs. ago and I am always cold. I spoke to my Dr. about this and she said that I have lost all of my insulation (fat). But let me tell you I wouldnt change a thing this is my only complaint. Just wish I would have done it sooner. Good Luck to the both of you

I was fine even went to the mall the very next day shopping. Just be careful about lifting and carrying anything heavy. Good Luck

me too I am so cold that I walk around the house in a blanket or robe and i use to hate to wear socks now I wear heavy socks and slipper. I just think that our bodies need to adjust to have less fat (a good thing) a insulation.

Hi, The hot tea kinda helps and I also chew 3 paypa pills about 15 min. before I try eat. I also drink Gatorade or eat pediolite popsciles to keep some kind of fluids down. Hope this Help you. I have a question thou if I continue to loss weight ( Loss 47lbs) will this band open or do I have to go and take some out?

Hi, I was Banded in Mexico on July 25 2007 and have lost 45lbs. but I have gotten my second Fill and am having a problem with liquids. I can eat crunchie food but not much and I am always spitting up slim. is there anything i can do to fix this or just wait and it will fix it self when i loss more weight?
