before before right before before before about 2 months after about 5 months after also 5 months bout 6 months later these 2 r a good comparision pose of before and about 7 months later december 8months later 2weeks ago down bout 70lbs want 15 more

Well to start I was wanting the surgery for about 3 years , and 3 years ago I checked on the By pass I really hadnt heard of the lap band... my insurance said I didnt weigh enough... SO that was that I decided not to any more... then last year in february or so I had a misscariiage that was my second one , my doctors told me I needed to loose weight... so there I was my crazy selkf looking into getting this done.. I remember telling my owner one day that I wanted this surgery and he told me you are crazy i cant beleive that you would think like that ... SO about a year or so after he told me that Insurace wouldnt pay I was off too vhecking it out in mexico I believe I checked on it in march and by april 12th I was banded... As for work I told one very close employee friend... and a few my of my personal friends famliy and husband knew , I told them I was having bladder surgery... And then My Cell phone does owrk in Mexico and a fEw people called to check on me and it rings different so a few people got wonderring what is she doing in mexico , (the ring is different when you are in mexico) so when I took off 3 weeks because I didnt have a vacation for 6 years and I figured I would milk it for all its worth.. and for some reason I was in pain the whole time... I had some family probelems when I got the surgery and I was crying alot and the stich on the port came off my doc said that was why.. so now a few coworkers knew when I got back... then I started to loose weight and they ask how, and for a long time i have been telling them I am on a diet.... well now I had a slippage and I had to goto mexico to get everything checked ... and i am on liquid for 4 weeks so now I pretty much told all my emp0loyees, and they are all being so supportive to me right now because I work at a faset food rest and it is so hard to not eat any food when you serve it allday... but i do not regret telling them now .// i should have probably trusted them in the beginning... but my owner still does not know and i will never tell him , if he finds out from someone else oh welll but it wont be me... Sorry for such a long stroy just wanted to get all that out ...

i was banded with dr aheves in april 2007...he is great I loved him.... staff was great ... hospital was great..... couldnt ask for a better doctor

hi there my band had some slippage and the doctor said 4 weeks of liquids..... no food at all till i make sure it goes back

I had my procedure in Mexicali with Dr. Acheves

my doctor said tommorow i need to get an exray to check for slippage what are the pre exray things to follow... they r in mexico and i need to try to get it over here in the us.. can you not eat or drink after midbight? stuff like that??

i am curious if anyone on here weres a gurttle and doesnt vomit alot if they are wearing it... i wore it the first 6 months and i vommited alot i thought one day it might be my problem, and i think it was w stopped vommiting for about 2 weeks now.... just curious if anyone else has this problem!!

:help:Hi everyone i have been looking at info on fills and i see alot that have 4 or 5 fills and have 5-10 cc's I only filled once 7 months ago at 1.2 cc and i still vomit often i am concerned that i need some taken out but it doesnt seem like i have much in there to begin with ... i am looking for any suggestions ...... i have been vomiting for a about 3 days straight now anything that i put in my stomach i am so confused with this i keep thinking to drive to mexicali and get some taken out .... i mean my fills are included for life with what i payed for my surgery so that is not the issue i am afraid to take some out , cause i think that i wont loose any more weight and of course i dont want that.... but i afraid to slip the band by vommiting too much.... any body out there can help me would be great . I would really appreciate it ... mer.bmp

well today all i have had is liquids ... i am going to try do that tommorow also... As one says it feels like a tightness in your chest and you have to vomit to relieve the feeling and making my self vomit is how i relive the pain... it is a terrible feeling ...i hate it ... i also dont want to take any out i still have about 20 or so pounds too loose and i dont want it to make me not loose anymore weight... i was banded 7 months ago.... i have vommited countless times since i got the first fill.... i cant figure out what i am doing wrong.. i am chewing well dont drink and eat... i try to be very carefull.... i am going to give it another day on liquids and then go to mushies... is it healty to not eat solids and only eat muchies???

Hello everyone ... My name is Lyndsay I was Banded in April 2007 with Dr Acheves in Mexicali... Wow great job , couldnt ask for a better doctor... I had everyone telling me please dont go to Mexico lyndsay that is scary, Let me tell you I have never been In a better hospital in the US than over there... I started at 250 I am now at 186 I am feeling so good I want to get to 150, I am 6-0 tall... I still dont eat much... Although I have been stuck at this weight for about 3 weeks .... nOt sure what I need to do .... But I dont beleive I need a fill... I cant enough as it is now ... I am not hunry I eat just to live... But it was the best thing that I could ever have done for myseld.. Now I am looking for a good plastic surgeon to get my arms fixed they have a lot of skin on them ... That isthe only thing that I hate and I want that fixed... Any suggestions on a doc.... please let me know I am am for Arizona... Before after about 6 months and today!!!

I know the bad thing is that I am awake when i fo it also... it is how i think i got in the weight probelem i got into was eating at night and going to bed again.... half the time i will be eating it and i will fall asleep with it in my hands and my husband gets so aggravated with all the crumbs that get in the bed..... i need to lock the foood up at night or have omething in the fridge remind me not to eat!!!

i have allways done this and i never have taken sleeping pills... but i have done it a few times after the band and i will wake up coughing and the food is right at my throat i think it dosnt have time to digest before i lay back down...

Ya you might need to check on a flll.. I have only had one so far ... I get hungry before the Tom and I eat alot.... All the other times I am never hungry I eat because I know that I have to eat to stay alive... It is weird... I also do vomit sometimes ,.. I work in a fast food restaurant and it is very hard for me to find anything oto eat there... Even the stuff that they say is healty.... I try to be carefull what I eat cause I cant stand the sick feeling... it feels like I cant breathe and I have ot vomit I try not to... Keep going ... Check on afill you might need it .... how many have you had so far? <a href="Weight Loss - Diet Ticker"> <img border="0" src="<A href="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wqkcFix/weight.png"></a">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wqkcFix/weight.png"></a>
