I was doing great at first but I'm only down 35 lbs. I'm frustrated with it because I feel like it stopped working. I get sick a lot and for the amount I throw up I should be anorexic. So I'm kind of lost at the moment. What about you?

I'm doing ok so far 3 months post op I'm down 24 pds. I need to start working out more than I feel like this is a reason I'm stalling. With the throwing up it could be that you band is too full

That's awesome congrats! And yes I'm going to the dr next month and going to discuss everything happening. Just hope everything is in place where it should be and that this will continue to help me reach my goal

<p>Sorry, just have to vent for a sec.</p> <p> </p> <p>Everything is going great (had my surgery this past Tuesday), and I'm recovering nicely. BUT THESE GAS CRAMPS!! Ugh! They are killing my shoulders and collarbones! I've walked around stores. I've walked around my house. I have heat packs on my shoulders, but I can't get over the discomfort.</p> <p> </p> <p>Okay, that's all. Just had to vent! LOL </p>

I had the same problem after my surgery. The only things that helped me was chewable gas-x and walking helps subside the pain slightly. Congratulations on your surgery and good luck ! Hope this helps:)

A couple of questions, first what size band do you have? when was your last fill? the things you are describing are ones in which a doctor would decide to do a fill on you. if you are not filling up on 4 oz of food and are getting hungry between meals generally this means its time for a fill. call your doctor office for a appointment.

My last fill was about 2 months ago I did make an appt for April to go see them. My band is the one that fills to 10 I'm at 5.2

I am turning 23 in june and had the band in august would love to chat with others around my age

Hi, I had my surgery in august so I am about 7 months in and have only lost about 35 lbs. I lost 10 of those on the pre-op diet. I am filled at 5.2 I believe. I get sick a lot no matter what I eat. I can eat something and be fine and the next day eat the exact same thing and it gets stuck. Also, when I do get sick because i feel my food is stuck most of what comes up isn't even food its flem. Does that happen to anyone else? I haven't lost much weight in a while no matter how good I eat. I don't know what to do. Hoping everything is ok with band and that it hasn't stopped working. I know Im eating bigger portions then I should. I don't get that same full feeling I did when I first came out of surgery. Does anyone have any advice or have experienced some of the same things?
