  1. @@IvonneBX throwing up is not good for you! that is not part of the "lifestyle" I was way too tight last week and started throwing up yeah I was losing and that's cool but I didn't want to become bulimic or erode the band and hurt my body by throwing up everything I put in my body, I went to the doctor and got a barium swallow and I was almost closed off so they took a cc out and I feel 100 times better. please get your band checked and do not take throwing up as a normal thing!

  4. well last night I was able to eat and drink fine but I made an appointment for this morning anyways and I went in and had an xray and barium swallow. My band is good but the fluids weren't going through fast enough and we went ahead ad removed 1cc and I am already feeling much better and have drank half a muscle milk protein shake(not my ideal choice but that's all there was at the gas station) everything Is going down much better:) always go with your gut!
  5. I have been working out (mostly Cardio) the first 7 months of having the Band, I started Working with a Trainer and doing more Weight Training and have upped my Cardio. I am preparing for a 5k this weekend. But I have noticed that it seems like my band has Tightened on its own, I haven't needed a fill since January I only have a 8cc band and have about 7cc already. I am having a hard time some days keeping anything down. it is mostly mid morning that it happens but It has been kind of Worrying me and I am thinking I may need to go see my doctor and get a small unfill and see if that changes anything. has anyone had this happen to them once they started working out more? I work out about 5-6 times a week and for about 1 1/2 hours at a time.
