I just learned about PB last wk, at my first doctors apt since Jan. I switched doctors because we had a very bad personality conflict. My new doc was on maternity leave. I do the PB thing at least once a day. I thought it was the chewing and swallowing to fast. I got a fill last week and I feel fine. Oh do I have alot to learn about this band. I just don't want anything bad to happen to me in the mean time. I love my new doc by the way she treats me like a real person opposed to the other doc I was a statistic. Want to talk about mental abuse???? I would never go back to see him.

Hi Are you in therapy? I had some of these reactions also. I'm 2yrs out and only down 25lbs. I have to remind myself this is not just about a tool but about a life long phycological journey as well. I would have to say that if you don't have the physc in check everything else is that much harder. I would look into seeing a therapist who specializes in food issues. good luck

Ok so it's been forever since I've been here. I have not been to my doctor since Jan. I have been avoiding him. I hate they way he talks to me so I've stoped going for now. I'm always looking for a new way to make me thin. I'm so crazy. I can't seem to do this. Anyway How is everyone???? I have a favor to ask if anyone does read this could you pass this along http://www.amw.com/allstar/2006/detail.cfm?id=224 and vote for my husband Scott. Please send it along to everyone. Thanks a million. :) ;) ;) ;)

goodluck on the 25th. You will be fine.

Hi Everyone Happy New Year! I went to see my doctor last tuesday the 3rd and he is so angry with me. I had my surgery on July 27th 05. He said I'm not doing well. I have had 2 fills since my operation. A total of 1.5cc in a 4cc band. It wasn't until my 2nd fill that I have noticed restriction. I have only lost 26lbs in 5 1/2 months. He was so angry. I get such conflicting messages from him and the nutritionist. She says I can eat 5 small meals a day he says absolutely NO snacks THREE meals a day thats it. I asked him how much food should be a meal 12345 cups????????? He couldn't answer me. His response was until I was full. Well If I new that answer do you think I would be fat???? Since my fill I have been working very hard. I need to see him Feb 23rd for another fill. I always have my fills under floro because he can't find the port without it. Since Oct 31st my brother was in a car accident and rolled his SUV 3 times Stressful holidays, My mom had a stroke, fell, and has phenomena. We went to Tennessee for Christmass which was a traumatizing trip from start to end. So Yes I have been eating out emotion that horrible demon. Could some one tell me how much to eat at on time?? Thanks:) :) :confused: :confused:

I'm so upset. I've losing my hair rapidly. Not the weight. It seems to have began with my first fill about six weeks ago. I'm going to be bald by x-mass. I had my blood taken to see what's up?? Everything came back fine. I also did the nioxen thing and I really don't see a difference. I have not lost any weight, but have gained 5 lbs. I'm eating out of stress and I need some help,support and advice. Thanks for the ear bending. Have a wonderful Holiday!!!!!!! :cry

i had a fill 2 weeks ago of 2cc in a 4cc band. When i'm upset i can feel the restriction and when i lay down. i want to know how you can hurt your band. I know that i'm eating way to much. I'm still trying to figure out feeling full. My doctor wants me to eat three small meals a day. I know that if you don't eat enough your body will hold on to its stores and you don't lose weight. I need some help. I have not lost any more weight i go up and down between 3 and 4 pounds. Can someone help me. I think i need my jaw wired next. thank you

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP. I THINK I'M JUST A NERVOUS NELLY. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY SIDE AFFECTS [NAUSEA, VOMITING, PBING] I GUESS I'M JUST LIUCKY. ALSO I THINK I'M EATING WAY TO MUCH. I KNOW WHEN I'M HUNGRY BUT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT BEING FULL

Does Anyone Have Dr.mun As There Doctor???? He Is At The Faulkner In Ma.

are you banded yet? I ask this question because I'm 3 weeks out and seem to be able to eat alot. I don't know if it's because i'm drinking and eating at the same time????? I just don't want to mess up what i just had done

hello everyone Would the pouch ever get streched out???????? I'm so scared that if I eat to much I will strech the pouch out.

Hello Bandster Babes I Had My Surgery Back On 7/27 Everything Went Just Fine. I Started Eating Mushies About A Week Ago And Have Now Graduated To Soft Foods Like Fish And Eggs. I Was Feeling Full For The First To Weeks But I Feel Like I Can Eat Endless Amounts. Is This Normal? I'm Going To See My Doctor Tomorrow Morning. He Told Me I Was To Stay On A Liquid Fase Until I See Him. Should I Tell Him I've Been Eating Real Food?????? I Feel Full But Not Sick. I Felt So Horrible Just Drinking Protein And When I Started Solids I Feel So Much Better. I"ll Take Any Advise Or Suggestions. Thanks So Much For Helping.

I WAS BANDED LAST WEDNESDAY THE 27TH. EVERYTHING WENT VERY-WELL. I SATYED IN FOR AN EXTRA DAY. I WAS TO TIRED TO COME HOME. I GOT HOME FIDAY MID AFTERNOON. I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS NEW LIFE CHANGE. I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON EARLIER BUT THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE MAIN CABLE TO MY PHONE LINE WHICH LINKS ME TO MY INTERNET. I'M DOING VERY WELL. MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD DO. I HAVE BEEN GETTING VERY UPSET AND CRYING (FIGHTING WITH HUSBAND) CAN THIS DO ANYTHING TO THE BAND. HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL. I NEED TO MOVE MY TICKER. HOW DO YOU DO THIS? GOD BLESS ! KEEP SMILING! EACH DAY GETS BETTER AND BIIIGGGGG HUGS!!!!
