I have had my band for about 10 months now. My first fill was in Nov it was 4.5 cc in a 10 cc band. Yesterday 7 July 2008 I had another 2 cc put in. Last night I tried to eat soup and I couldnt pass it. And this morning I tried to drink milk and I can 1 sip and then after that I couldnt pass it either. Has anybody had this problem before. If so let me know what you did to solve it and or if it went away in time.

Hello I live in France I been here for 4 years. I moved here from Texas. I got banded sep 25 if 2007 so far i have lost 23 kilos or 50 pounds. Next week I will join a gym for 6 months. The Doc told me I should lose about 30 kilos or 66 pounds per year. I cant wait until I get my goal weight. Losing 50 lbs so far is good and I feel better in my body, but I still dont like the way I look in a mirror.

As for me I am drinking Nestle Nesvital for breakfast. It has 34 grams of protien and 12 vit and 12 minerals. But sometimes I drink slimfast.

So far today I have lost 37 lbs. I dont have any pain in my chest but after the 2nd day it hurts to drink anything. My doctor said if i have any trouble I should call him. 4.5cc for my first fill.

<p>Yesterday Nov 19, 2007 I got my first fill 4.5 cc. For 10 days i only can eat yougert or soup. And after that I can eat mashed stuff again lol. It didnt hurt at all. They took pictures and I had to drink nasty stuff again lol. They said everything was fine. For my stomach they said it lost weight lol.</p>

Thank you both very much. This monday I go for my first Fill.

I been banded for almost 2 months I have lost 28 lbs after 6 weeks. And I will have my first fill 19 of Nov. I am wonder do you still lose weight like you do after the first 6 week until the first fill. After the first fill what is the normal weight lose. My Doctor said I lost 10 lbs of water and 10 lbs of fat after the first month. I just want to know because I lose 2 lbs and it stays the same for a week or so. Help me if you know how to help me.

Hello In 5 weeks since I got banded I have lost 28 lbs.

So far I have lost 24 lbs in 4 weeks. It feels good to lose the weight but I dont see any difference.

Well i work standing up 12 hour shifts where is very hot and I have a lot of very hot rubber from tires going under my shirt and my doctor told me no you cant work at least I get paid for the days that I didnt work.

I have to give them a try I used to drink soy Choc milk when I lived in Texas.

I am going to try to ask my sister to send me GNC Mega Men® Maximum Nutrition Formula - (2.25 lbs.)

After I got done being banded they told me I could eat soup and mash potatoes for one month.

The nearest GNC is in the UK.

Ok thanks I dont think there is a GNC where I live at so do you take multi vitamins

Juliegeraci what kind of protien shake do you take?

I had to pay the doctor 700 euros and the person that put me to sleep 150 euros and the stay 217 euros. That kind of sucked. I am going to send them to my insurance company to see if they would pay me back for the 3 checks I had to write.

I got banded Sept 25 and I was told to eat mashed potatoes with ham but very little bits of ham and other stuff. I eat soup too. But I havent been hungry because I eat until I feel ok. I have lost 9 kilos. I live in France. But when I see other things like fast food and I want to eat and I said I am not hungry. But Being over weight a very long time. Before I ate just because I felt like it not because I was hungry.

I have it sleep Apnea. I had to see 9 doctors before i could been lap banded. I had to spend 1 night in the hosptial to see. So now I sleep with a machine and I had to bring it when I had my surgery. Which I am lucky I dont have to pay for my machine.

I got banded sept 25 and my doctor told me I had to take off 3 weeks.

I lost 19 lbs in 3 weeks

no I have tasted worse when they look at my stomach first.
