    No weight lost

    I have lost so far 105 lbs in 1 yr.l have no problems with the band in the last 3 months I lost 4 lbs and I usually average 9 or 10 lbs...I haven't gained any weight during the holidays "mind control ",I know I lost about 4 inches in size..I have no restrictions with my band and I'm not hungry and I continue the same routine every time..I'm glad I'm over the mind hungry phase...I am not a gym person but I did bike riding and the treadmill until November,our friend winter is here...What else can I do or should do???

    No weight lost

    Yes,I have no issues at all,believe me I'm so happy...Is hard to understand but I guessed that loosing weight constantly and come to a stop suddenly concerns me.When I say no restrictions with the band,I can eat anything or as much as I want .My band only has 3cc and one filled only.I listen to people about their restrictions and I don't want that for me.I must learn to eat and know how much is enough.My weight was 371 lbs now 267 .I continue to avoid the gym because I want to do the best way in a normal daily routine...

    port flipped

    I'm having same issue but so far in one year I lost 100lbs,I don't have any restrictions at all.the doctor was only able to add 3cc and due to the pain from all that pocking I hold him to stop...I go and see him every 3 months and he keeps telling me let's continue doing the same right now as soon I stop loosing weight than he recommended to do surgery to fix my flipped port....

    Port flip?

    That happened to me and it was so painful trying to get my first and only fill in 8 month..I notice people talked about their doctors giving local anesthetic around the port and I told my doctor if we ever do any more fills I want him to use local anesthetic

    Flipped port

    Mine is flipped and is really very hard to get a fill.I hear that may be in the future I have to have another surgery to fix it.
  18. Not hungry at all but I notice is all on your mind and habits.Some times because I see something to eat "like a burger " I want to have bite but I know I'm not hungry.I drink water, no more sodas and I used to drink a lot pop,I also don't missed the taste.i did switch from regular break to wheat bread...I don't measure the food because I'm learning to understand how to eat healthy and make the right choice.im not junk food lover neither.i eat for breakfast cottage cheese with banana,blueberry,raspberry,some times eggs "scrambled" bread but there is one thing that I will never stop drinking is a great cup of coffee "fresh ground beans"..Around noon salads or few pieces of pizza remember is quality not quantity.Sometimes fruit or yogurt.Around 3 pm I might eat few pieces of cheese with crackers.Dinner anything my wife cook and remember quality not quantity...I'm not an expert but I see that my success depends on how to make the choices.I will not go hungry,I keep telling people "I'm not in a diet,Im eating better."I still have to make time to do exercise and I want to enjoy it too.All in good time.
  19. Ok ,still not able to get another fill 2 weeks ago.right now all I have is 3cc.i feel really good about my results so far.Since my surgery in jan I,2015 my weight was 325 but original weight in October was 375lbs and today the scale reach 299lbs , the last time I weight 299 was over 15 years ago.i don't feel any restriction at all and no problems.During my last visit the doctor told me that I should wait for a fill since I being loosing weight without any problems.i have to give my wife 100% since she is the one really making this happen....
  20. I feel you, I got my band in dec31,2014,but before that I had knee surgery 2 months prior. Since October I lost a total of 70 lbs.my first and only filled. so far and was 3cc only since they had a hard time getting the needle in the port since it flipped "very painful".no restriction at all. Several coworker the first thing that came out of their mouth did you had stomach surgery !!!that's cheating!!!again I feel so good that I lost all this weight so far.I must say my wife has help me control some temptations like eating "bacon".I also stay away from white bread,Pasta,rice,,she is the great person. She is against the band since I lost all this weight without it...but hopefully everything turn the best. PEOPLE could be cruel sometimes may be because they are jealous or ignorant .Believe I share your feelings too...lets keep moving forward.
  21. I have me problem ,last Tuesday I went for my first fill and the had a real hard time getting the niddle in and finally they were able to fill my band after several times and it was painfull since I was told that my port flip .im concern and I will be speaking with my doctor about ay concern in the future...
