hi... now u have me thinking..... my last fill was oct 8th... i NEVER had a problem swallowing food... all of a sudden for the last 4 weeks, almost everything i eat gets stuck and im throwing up like crazy!!!!! i think how can that be when my band is not even tight???????

Hi i am Chiqui.... I got banded nov 1, 2008.... its now a year and a half later and i have only lost 30 lbs... the reason??? well i have come to learn that i go against my lap band and i dont know why... it makes me very sad.:biggrin:.. for instance... when i eat, after just a few bites i do get full and even if i have food still in my mouth, instead of spitting it out i will chew it until i can swallow it.... and i will eat everything eventhough i am stuffed... i dont know how to stop even when i am full!!!! I have fought my insurance company to get this surgery, and now i am working against it!!!! i feel i need some help!!!! any ideas???

omg!!!!! sweetie... when u do lose the weight..... Get rid of HIM!!!!! Let him eat his lil heart out when he sees the new you.... I have gained sooo much weight since meeting my husband and he tells me all the time... dont do it for me... i love u the way you are..... do it for your health.... You deserve sooo much better than that!!!! How can u feel happy at all when the one person that is supposed to love you unconditionally tells you he would have never gon out with you if he met you the way you are now!!!! I tell you.... men are from mars... women are from venus!!!! Its sooo true.... .... I wish u luck sweetie... I think you should not only lose the weight but LOSE HIM!!!!!! Double the weightloss!!!!! good luck take care... chiqui

HI... i am not a teen but my kids are i have twin girls 13 years old. They are struggling with their weight and i feel bad for them because i know they are uncomfortable and also kids in school can be mean.... They are sooo beautiful inside and out and i feel sooo guilty because i have the lap band and i am eating such smaller portions and for them its hard to eat smaller portions because they are not restricted.. I actually feel bad losing weight. I am going to look into getting them banded. i just want to wish all of you good luck in your weight loss journey...and remember.... "nothing tastes as good as thin feels"

Wow You Are An Inspiration Keep Going!!!!!!!!!
