I think you would feel it if it was stuck...I am sure you will be fine....can you drink? or eat?

Sue--just curious...is your insurance covering this?? Good luck :thumbup:

I didn't feel restriction till my 5th fill!! If you are feeling discouraged, I say try and move your appt up a bit!! Good luck :thumbup:

I didn't get anything stuck until 5 months out when I finally felt real restriction!

I had some numbness in my upper left thigh too, but it would come and go, and went away completely since I have lost weight...I had this before my lapband surgery...very weird....it used to worry me a lot....but it's gone now!!!!

try smaller bites and more time in between bites...it is hard, I sometimes have to get up and do things after a few bites, just so I won't take another bite!! I get up and do the dishes or some paperwork, etc. then come back and take a couple more bites.....

What is your diet like? Do you take a vitamin? Sorry you are feeling this way!! The only time I ever feel dizzy is if I haven't eaten enough....

I have felt in the past that I was turned down for certain jobs due to my weight, also felt discriminated against as a customer in stores...I do not feel that way anymore...there is definitely discrimination against fat people...

I eat two meals per day with 2 snacks usually, plus an iced coffee

Just do it

Honestly, it was the easiest recovery for me...felt totally normal 4 days out..only took two doses of pain meds. Was back to work in a week, and I work with special needs children so it is not a sedentary job...

Yes it does...I got very constipated when I was very tight...now that I am at goal, I have loosened my band and bowels are back to normal thank goodness!!

I cannot eat any food in the morning...or I will get stuck...many people are a lot tighter in the morning than at night...sounds like it might be the case for you. Maybe just drink a shake in the am?

fat free refried beans..i love them....you can add some low fat sour cream and cheese melted in!! Good source of protein...also love the idea of homemade blackbean soup...I will have to try it

And the great thing about the band is that it is gradual!! So it you will be able to eat less food, but only a little less than before...and then the next fill a little less than that. And then, what I am doing now...although I know a lot of people don't do this...but since I am at goal, I have been getting small UNFILLS each month. I want to use my head more and my band less....it is very hard! But I have been maintaining since January....so far so good! Your feelings are totally normal
