banded in 02/2007 i have lost 70lbs and now not losing much at all, hope ta do better, i have never been able to not drink liquid when i eat.

good luck eillen, sounds like your on the right path

please get the surgery your life may depend on it, we all had this surgery because we have severe eating disorders, you need the surgery or you may gain it all back in a very short time !

has the doctor withdraw some fluid to see how many ccs are actually in ?

have you thought about getting a wound specialist involved, good luck sweetie

i have an amazing dr. as a human and as a expert in the field, please call him dr spaw 615-284-2400 i promise hes the best you'll find !

i wonder if your band was attached at the right place?

sound like ya gota go real slow with your fills like 0.3cc for example

this is problem with the lap band. gastric by pass you have no choice but to lose weight

i started in feb with my surgery, i have the 10cc vg, and today on 8-30-07 had my 4th fill to make 8ccs total. i can swallow liquid and soft food no problem. if you are having trouble with liquid you are too tight. I would have a little removed, dont wanna get dehydrated ya know. since feb i have lost 45 lbs and 2 months ago i actually gained weight, but last month lost 5lbs. its been a struggle for me to lose weight, hasn't come easy for me. but im doing it im just a little impatient with myself sometimes. remember you have to wear your lap band not your dr.-so get a restriction thats comfortable for you jorge
