Hi hon, i understand what you are feeling. I too was in a lot of pain for a while. I still get a twinge when i move in a certain way but stick with it and it will get betteer, take care

DITTO HONEY, I WAS BANDED IN AUG 07 AND I HAVE LOST JUST OVER 40LBS BUT I TOO FEEL THE PAIN AND TIGHTENING AND I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE FILL. I FEEL IT EVEN WHEN I HAVE ONLY EATEN SOUP SO I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. I KINDA WISH I DIDN,T HAVE THIS THING CO,S IT AIN,T DOING ME NO GOOD.

SURE YOU CAN EAT SPICEY FOOD IT,S NOT THE SPICES BUT THE AMOUNT OF FOOD YOU EAT, ALTHOUGH SPICEY FOOD MAY MAKE YOU HAVE A SLIGHTLY LESS TOLERANCE, JUST TRY IT AND SEE OK XX

PRUNES ARE NATURES LAXATIVE HAHA! THEY MAKE THE WORLD FALL OUT OF YOUR BOTTOM HEHE :ponder::clap2:

:clap2::clap2::clap2:PRUNES BABY PRUNES!

MY DOC DOESN,T NUMB THE AREA BUT IT,S OK IT DOESN,T HURT IT,S JUST A LITTLE PRICK HA HA . DON,T WORRY YOU WILL BE FINE XX :clap2::clap2:

FUCK HIM RIGHT OFF FUCK HIM RIGHT OFF! YOU DESERVE SOOO MUCH BETTER. END OF. .

I CAN EAT ANYTHING BUT JUST A LITTLE OF EACH DISH WICH IS COOL :whoo::kiss2::kiss2:

<p> I FEEL REALLY SORRY FOR HER, AS A LOT OF US DO. </p> <p> I DON,T PARTICULARLY LIKE HER MUSIC BUT HAVE WATCHET HER AS A WOMAN AND A MOTHER AN I KNOW THERE IS LOADS SHE COULD DO TO HELP HERSELF AND HER PUBLIC PERSONNA BUT AS A YOUNG MOTHER I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW OVERWHELMD SHE MUST FEEL. I WAS ONCE IN HER POSITON (MINUS THE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL) HOWEVER I KNOW SHE IS GOING THROUGH A LOT WHILST STILL TRYING TO BE YOUNG AND WILD. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I APPROVE OF HER BEHAVIOUR BECAUSE I DON,T BUT I CAN GET IT AND HOPE SHE SEES THE WAY FORWARD SOON. </p> <p> <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/kiss2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Kiss2" smilieid="154" class="inlineimg" /> </p> <p></p>

sorry this reply took so long but i have been stuggling with myself; i have lost 40lbs so far but know i am letting myself down even as we speak. i need another fill but am reluctant because it,s not the band lthat,s letting me down but myself!! i feel like crap! but there you go i know i,m not alone.:cry:cry:cry

I KNOW THIS IS A WHILE AFTER THIS THREAD BEGAN BUT I WANTED TO KEEP UP UPDATED. I DID SEE MY DOC AND I DID MENTION ALL THE ISSUES I HAD TO THE AFFECT THAT I SORT OF KEPT HIM HOSTAGE UNTIL I HAD SAID MY PIECE. HAHA BUT HE WAS MARVELOUS AND ASTONISHED AT MY POOR TREATMENT UP UNTIL THAT POINT. HE SAID HE WOULD DO ALL MY FILLS IN FUTURE WHICH IS LIKE A VISIT FROM THE POPEL LOL AND HE SAID HE WOULD NOT ONLY LOOK INTO ALL THE ISSUES I HAD HE HAS RE ASSIGENED ME A NEW NURSE AND SAID THAT IF SHE CAN,T DEAL WITH MY ISSUES HE WILL PERSONALLY CALL ME :clap2::clap2::clap2:1

i was absolutly commited to this procedure but feel let down now. i know it,s only a tool and we have to work at it so i suppose i am the failure. but it makes me feel like an even bigger failure than i didi pre op. i have been doing very well for some time now dispite having to wait 14 weeks for my first fill(don,t ask!) anywhoo i am only human and have cheated and like my doc told me i a m a victim of my own biology so hey ho. but seriously i feel like s..t i am being very good or very bad and i know it,s all up to me but every tiime i am bad i am sooo hard on myself instead of what my nurse tells me to be is kind with myself as i am trying to break a lifetime of bad habits here and i have done well so far but with xmas coming i feel i am on a hiding to nothing and hate feeling like such a failure.:help:

THE FIRST FILL IS 6 TO 8 WEEKS HERE IN THE UK BUT FIRST APPT THEY HAD WAS 10 WEEKS THEN LIKE I SAID PREVIOUSLY IT WAS CANCELLED SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DOC SPLITS HIS TIME BETWEEN THREE CITIES AND IS ONLY AT MANCHESTER THE NEAREST TO WHERE I LIVE EVERY SO OFTEN, I HAVE SINCE THE LAST POST ON HERE SPOKEN TO MY NURSE OR SHOULD I SAY MY SECOND NURSE THE FIRST ONE HAVING STOPPED CALLING ME BECAUSE I WAS CRYING THE DAY MY APPT WAS CANCELED. SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE DOES NOT WANT TO RING ME AT ALL AND WHEN I TOLD HER I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH MY WILLPOWER SHE WAS JUST SO SNIPPY AND SAID "IF WE COULD BOTTLE WILLPOWER WE WOULD BE MILLIONAIRES!" SHE JUST GIVES ME THE IMPRESSION SHE IS ONLY CALLING ME UNDER DURESS AND I FEEL AS IF I AM A PROBLEM TO HER, I FEEL AT MY WITS END , I FEEL ALONE AND ISOLATED IT,S ONLY THIS SITE THAT HAS HELPED ME KEEP IT TOGETHER,

WE NEED TO BE STRONG? I CAN VOUCH FOR THAT....LOL BECAUSE OF APPT BEING CANCELLED I AM GONNA BE 14 WEEKS POST OP WHEN I GET MY FILL:help: I HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD UP TILL THIS WEEKEND BUT HEY WE ARE ONLY HUMAN AND I HAVN,T BEEN TURNED ON YET IF YOU GET MY MEANING (THE BAND I MEAN) HEHE
