well i have decided to return to lapband talk. it has been a long time and i feel like a failure. I had and issue with my band. Had coughing problems at night, had some taken out. I have not followed the rules i know and my band is only sustanining my weight at around 275. i am not able to lose anymore. I am thinking about having it removed.

I have had a bad cough during the nights after my last fill. Went back to Dr J and they took out 2 cc's. Now I cough during the day! Getting really tired of this cough. Sometimes it is a small cough other times I feel like my stomach is going to come out!!

yes, your dr is an idiot. My dr in dallas does both. The choice is yours. I work with a lady that had the gastric bypass and wishes she could do the lapband. It takes just as much control if not more on the by pass. She has found a way to drink beer and is now putting her wieght back on. Both ways can be failures. The band is less invasive and you can be back to work in a couple of days!! I am 48 and just had the band put in on april 22. I have lost about 30 lbs so far, i feel better and my clothes are getting loose. So go for it man!!

i just sip on my water all day long and don't have a problem. Of course, i can eat what ever i want. I need to see about getting another fill!!!

I found tomato soup to be my saving grace!!!

Hey Michelle: I attended Dr Jays support group on June the 2nd. I think you were there on the 2nd row. The one taking a trip soon if i remember. I was on row behind you and over to your left, the first of the two guys sitting there. You and your friend are a real hoot!!

I used Dr Jay. Very good, IMHO,. has a good aftercare support group also

Just found the website, really cool. My name is Lloyd. I live in McKinney Texas. I had the lap band surgery on 5-22-05 and my first fill on 6-9. Surgeon was Dr. Nirmal Jayaseleen, really good guy. Attending my first support group meeting with him and some other last night. So far I have only lost 22 pounds. Think i need to go get another fill! Look forward to hearing from others in the area and getting to meet some of you.

Movie night sounds cool. comedy sounds great. I live in McKinney, got band on 5-22 got my first fill on 6-9. Dr Nirmal Jayaseleen did mine in Richardson.
