I had my surgery 3 yrs. ago and still belch. My gallbladder was removed due to belching and nothing,I still do! Bella.

Banded Nov 2007 and still burping. Gallbladder taken out and still burping..:thumbup:

You look great and it looks like you were never overweight.... I also wanna be size 8 by the end of the year. :thumbup:

I lost 71 lbs. in almost 2 years. You can do it! I even eat ice-cream sometimes. I do have a lot of restriction,I wouldn't mind keeping this restriction for the rest of my life... You can do it!:thumbdown:

Same here; I've had to clean my closet several times. Went from a 20 to a 12. I have bought pants at Macy's. Always from the Clearance rack. I also have bought size 10 pants,but don't have them in the closet,because they don't fit yet... I had to give away 20 pairs of shoes,because I went down a size.. It is unbelievable how this has happened,but we can do it!!! Can't wait to be an 8!:thumbup:

I had surgery in November,2007 and I weighed 242 and I'm 5.1 1/2" Now I weigh 174 lbs. I still have more to go,but I think that anything over 200 lbs. is obese. We're not dying,but we can get sick in the future....

I was dizzy and almost had a panic attack, and guess what didn't feel much and it was nothing to worry about.

Hi, I pb'd a couple of times,but still managed to lose 1 lb.

Hello! I take Lexapro without any problems. Just don't take it after eating. Bella.

My mom asked me tonight over the phone how come I'm still the same size since January. I told her that I was slow and that I had to lose 25 lbs. to change a size. So I'm a 14 now,but the clothing around the butt and front are loose. I will probably be a 12 in the summer,have already bought clothing on clearance for size 12. I did not let her hear my anger. She hasn't seen me since Nov. ,she will come in August again.

Thanks for that website! All the yummy desserts...I'm gonna try marzipan!

I always throw up for 2 weeks after a fill, after that a couple of times a week.So your normal.

Tell your doctor the truth,he'll understand. This happens all the time and during this time of year it's hard to lose weight,the economy,your separation... It's a lot! Start again, we all go through this.

Hi, I used to have the same recurring dream and it would always be when I was really following my diet, not when I was cheating or wanted to cheat. I had this dream when I used to diet pre- band and during this journey.

I have 7 fills. Everybody is different, but maybe it's time for another fill. I'm making funny noices when I swallow. I tutor some kids and they stare at me and ask me why I'm making funny noises ha! ha! The stares I get at restaurants and at confeences when I'm eating so slowly.

Hi, I am burping a lot after my 7th fill today. No gas pain, though. The fill hurt a lot,the needle was just hurting my skin.

Same here, but only before my period.

Oh and no sleep study. but I didn't have sleep apnea.

Hi! They approved me in 24 hours and I had to pay about $1,200.00

I weigh about 197 lbs. Soon we'll be there,before we know it. It is so hard and slow. But when you will look back, you'll just laugh and love yourself. Can't wait. Bella.

I would stay this way until you don't feel much restriction and stop losing. You have already lost 47 lbs. That took me about 9 months. I got restriction after 6 months. Also, the band is weird,you don't lose for a while and suddenly you lose 3 to 4 lbs. Good luck.

Mabrouk on your weight loss. But they chipped your teeth , what is that? I also had a sore throat, but not an infection. I am so happy now, I have lost 45 lbs. I still throw up and it is not easy. But it is worth it. There is another guy from Qatar who was doing great! Jelbel.

I weighed 242 when I had my surgery and weighed 197 today. Size L blouse and size 16 pants. 1/2 a shoe size less. Isn't this great? Bella.

Next time I start whining about how slow this is going, I'll remember you and all the patience you have. Congrats!

I have that experience in the morning too. The doctor said that it means that I have restriction.
