"First Bite Syndrome" ???
Okay I have a fill of about 2.8 or 2.9cc's in a 4cc band. Almost every time I take my first two bites of food I get the Deer in the Headlights look because I get stuck. I know this is not a good thing. Sometimes if I take deep breaths it goes down. Weird it feels like kind of a plop when it does. On other occasions not that many it comes back up. This only happens after the first 2 bites(not all the time but frequent enough to question). DOes this mean I am overfilled. After the food either goes down or comes back up I am good to go and can finish eating. Help!!! :faint:

Anybody start at over 300?
ANother Here. I was 336 the day of surgery. I have lost 46lbs so far and it will be 6 months on Feb. 28. I am loving my band. Wouldn't change it fort nothing. I think that maybe your surgeon is saying RNY because of faster results. Some of the bandsters lose at almost the same rate as RNY from some of the postings I have read. I know you will be happy with your decision to have the band. The best thing for me is I think that with the band you are not gonna have as much skin to deal with after you lose all of the weight. With proper exercise and weight resistance training we can get a better hold of the excess skin problem because the weightloss is gradual and not so extreme. :peace:

I did it!!!! 50 lbs gone!!!!!!
Yeah! What she said. Mary you took the words write out of my typing hands. It is hard to lose 10lbs and 50lbs is great.So many of us have been in the background because of our weight. To lose that amount and be proud and say I did it is GREAT!! Diane you ARE NOT boasting. In the words of my 89 year old granddaddy "it is a po' frog that don't praise his own pond". Can I get an AMEN!!! :peace:

85 % Burnt - Stupid Stupid Me
HOpe you feel better. Be careful about the creams. I was burned once( not by a tanning bed lol ) but in a house fire second and third degree on my back. I found that wearing light cotton shirts(white ones) helped with the pain because clothes hurt burns. Try to wera light cotton fabrics while you are recooperating. Drink water too. God Bless!

I am so f'in pissed
OKay it is obvious that the money is spent. He probably was so excited about having the $200 extra bucks he couldn't see straight. He might of thought you slipped. LOL So with that said next check give him just enough for a beer and some peanuts. Go buy you something fabulous. Get the hair , nails, and toes done. WHen he gets home dress up and go somewhere all dolled up. Even if it is just to the movies or to dinner with your girlfriends. When he asks you where are you going tell him oh it's Valentine's Day and I have plans. LOL LOL
