Getting Back To The "Green Zone" After Complete Unfill?
oui1213 replied to maygoddess's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was unfilled prob 8 months ago from a slip (completely my fault). Then started going back up slowly. My dr saaid once u have had an unfill it will take more to get u back at the same place asu were before the unfill. We filled up soooo slowly it was miserable. I wanted to eat everything. Now in the last 2 months i have hit my green zone losing 5-8 pounds per month. I have just now been diagnosed with very high thyroid. Dr wants me to start taking anti thyroid meds. But i am scared of gaining weight. Apparently 5% of people with hyperthyroid are overweight. I guess i am one of unlucky few. Hope u all find ur green zone again (78 lb lost in 1 yr????) -

Getting Back To The "Green Zone" After Complete Unfill?
oui1213 replied to maygoddess's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had complete unfill. So nervous and upset. Noticed hunger came back like a mad dog!! Took phentermine to get through. I was only unfilled 3 weeks because of a slip. I gained 3 lbs but i was freaking miserable. Cancelled all plans. No one could be around me or i would bite their head off. Now slowly getting refilled and just maintaining. Not losing ???? -
Just had to have all fluid taken out because of terrible left sided pain. Dr states probably happened when i threw up. Now no fluid scared on liquids for four days. Have list 55 lbs in 7 months. Had finally gotten to green zone ????
-
I experienced same kind of thing. But had vomiting every time i ate. Intestinal cramps etc.... My dr did the weirdest thing he gave me .2 cc fill and it all went away. I know its opposite of what u would think. But thank God i feel soo much better

I think johnsydney ur not helping anyone with such comments in the lapband forum. I come here for advice from people who have made their lap band work. Please think about that before u post. Especially in response to someone just a few days out of surgery. U can really put bad thoughts in peoples heads. -
Say no to Lap-Band video
oui1213 replied to soundlogik's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Horrible video. She contradicts herself back and forth. She says she cant eat anything without throwing up. Then says she can eat a whole plate of food. I call bullshit!!!! Dont know why but for some reason she failed and now she is trying to discourage others from success. -

He said i will b fine just to use this as a learning exp and dont do it again. I am sooo miserable. Just horrible full feeling. Have to stay sitting up with small sips water. Thx again.
