Before I lost 95lbs., I was a 38D. Now I am a 36C, with moderate sagging. I am getting implants on Dec. 14th, without a lift. Is there anyone who had moderate sagging and got implants without a lift?

My surgery was a success, but I did get a lift with my implants.

@ Lellow, did you need your band unfilled?

@ Nannie i run 3 to 5 miles aday and do push ups along with weight lifting, and nothing helps. @ Lellow, I will have to get lift with my implants, I'm do excited. Was you in a lot of pain?

How did your breast lift go? I am getting implants and a lift in December.

Take tums and a laxative.

I was banded on 11-14-2007 and I have 5.5cc in my band. Everytime I try 6cc, I am over restricted. So far I have lost a total of 80lbs. I now weigh 173lbs.

Have you every been sitting in a quiet room and you start doing inner burps? :eek:

Airkuhl, what is nigiri and miso soup? I never heard of that before.

I can eat almost two sushi rolls and then I'm full.

I'm glad you listen to your band.

It's good that you are going to have some taking out, because last year in April, I was hospitalized, because my band was too tight, so tight that I was dehydrated. This went on for three days, before I went to the hospital. I had to have my band completely unfilled for one month. I have a 14cc band, with 5.5cc in it.

Yes my band is a 14cc. Everytime I try to go beyond 5.5cc, I get so sick to the point, where I can't eat or drink.

It will be two years on Nov 14, since I was banded and I only have 5.5cc. in my band and I have plenty restriction. I am still losing weight.:purplebananna:

My nutritionist said that it's okay to eat bread, try using low cab or wheat bread.And wheat crust pizza is delicious, even my teenage son enjoys eatting wheat crust pizza.

Don't punish yourself for eat a slice of pizza. I have been banded for a year and a half and I still eat pizza ocassionally. Just remember not to force yourself to eat and exercise, whether it's a walk around the block or a jog. You will be alright and take your time that good restriction will come. Happy Easter!

In Dec of 2008 I had .5cc removed from my band, because it was so thight, that I had problems sleeping at night, due to acid reflux and could barely eat. After I had the .5cc removed the acid reflux went away, but it's hard for me to eat, so therefore I'm not getting my hard protien. Fluids stay down and sometimes food, but for the most part, what I eat usually comes back up and it's nowhere near an ounce of food. I currently have 5.5cc in my 12cc band, when I see my doctor on Feb. 18,2009, I'm going to have 1.5cc removed and go from there, because in April of 2008, I was hospitalized for a day, because my was so thight that I could not eat or drink and that caused me to get dehydrated. My band was completely unfilled for 4 weeks, but I did not gain any weight. And again this happen when I decided to go to 6cc. I'm starting to realize that 6cc is not for me at this present time. Since I haven't been able to really eat, I haven't lost any weight, because my body is feeding off of stored fat. Being able to eat the right food is the success of the band. I can say that since I had my band, I have lost 75lbs. I run anywhere from 2 to 4 miles a day, but I still need to able to eat.

Had 1cc taken out today, I'm now at 4.5cc and I already feel relief. I will tell anyone to take it slow.

I have a 14cc band and I have been banded for 15 months, all I had 6cc in my band, but I had .5 taken out in Dec. 2008. I am going back tomorrow to have 1.5cc taken out, because I am too thight. I am tired of getting sick. I have lost a total of 78lbs. Big Dan, I wish you luck.

Just a little pissed off, my doctor's office called me today and told me that the doctor is canceling all his appointments on Wednesday, because he has an emergency surgery, so I have to suffer until Friday. It's hard for me to make appointments, because of my job as a police officer and going to school. I feel like, I can't properly function. I will be glad when, I can get some of this fluid out of my band.

On Oct.30 ,2008, I was told that I had blood clots in both of my lungs. I stayed one night in the hospital. I was released on the strenght that I inject myself twice daily with lovenox and take one coumadin pill daily. Is there anyone else on this site, that have been through something like this. Your response is well needed.

Ifish where is the filter placed and is it permanent? I'm just curious, I want to know everything I can learn about PE. I never paid no mind to PE, because I thought that it would never happen to me .

Kayleighsmommy, I really pray that I never experience this again. It truly scared me and now I have enough puncture wounds on my stomach to last a life time. I think that your OB was inconsiderate to your health problems. You and giddyupgrandma has been a great source of information to me, it great to chat with someone who have been through, what you are going through. I will keep the both of you in my prays. I hope others who have experience pulmonary embolism will join this post.

Kayleighsmommy, I was Banded 1 year ago. I got my clots from birth control pills, that I had been taken for eight years. I was able to go home the next day, because I knew how to give the lovenox injections. If I was unable to do the injections I would have had to stay longer.
