hi all miss talking today chat is still down whats up I need to hear from my peps lol

:thumbup:God bless you Karen you are in good hands with Dr. Choban she is great. I did have a teddy bear in the car for the ride home to put between me and the seat belt. and some lip bam. you will be just fine, write back when you are feeling better oh get some gas-x that will help with the gas after. I will be praying for you Ladyroz

hi silly keep doing what you are doing and soon you will get you date to start your new life. about the eating when you are upset it is hard to eat when you are full lol I have that problem at time when I feel like no one is supporting me or when I'm just sad I had to learn to do other things bysides eat that has been my out for years and now I must find other things I walk now I couldn't walk for a long time like 15 years now I walk 2miles a day that is real deep for me I have new knees now I go to the gym 3 times a week I like to work out in the water at the gym easy on the knees. Just think of all the things you will be able to do when you loose weight. So keep all of your appts. oh by the way the sleep test is messy in your hair so don't wash your hair until after the test. good luck on you walk to good health. LadyRoz

Hi all It is so good hearing from all of you guys. I'm doing fine I have lost 115lbs so far was banded 1/7/08 all those banded march last year great job on your walk to good health. The lady who feels she is not being supported by her partner always think of your health and when you start feeling good about yourself everone around you will start to support you and if not that will be alright too.

HAPPY -B K GOD BE WITH YOU ON YOUR DAY It is nice to see some of us old banders on here again I miss writing and sometimes I don't have time but I'm think about all of you. I'm doing fine now I was tight my food can go down now I didn't have an unfill I wanted to wait it out. How is Debby doing has anyone heard from her? Good luck on your road to good health Sillypuddy was in your shoes last year also I have lost 110lbs so far and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. LadyRoz

Hi Clempir I have been banded for one year and have lost 110lbs so far God has been with me all the way with out Him I couldn't have done this and the iceing on the cake is that I'm on no more meds. You must keep in mine God wants us to be healthy. God didn't make us to be sick that is when sin came in to play so when I think of the band I thank God for the band it has changed my life, I can fast without getting sick, I can walk without being out of breath glory be to God. So keep your head up my sister God is in control let Him lead you to good health. God Bless our sister LadyRoz

hi all I'm having some discomfort now I had a fill 1/13/09 I think it is to tight however I have started to go back to the start of the band and eat broth, jello, proteins drinks. It was hard to hold the food down and there is pain I have never had before even jello hurt going down and it would come back up. I made a big pot of soup chichen with veggs. and drink the broth slowly after a week I was able to hold mash veggs and fish slowly. I think sometimes there is gas inside and when the food comes down it sits on the gas and until it moves it hurts that is why drinking something hot before eating helps 1/2 hour before don't drink while eating that will make it hurt also. I not sure if I'm to tight or not but I have lost 7lbs since the fill so I think I'm not going to get a unfill my next fill is in feb. if I still feel this way I will not get a fill at that time. banded 1/7/08 lost 110lbs so far 40 more to go at this point I'm very happy with my band good luck to all with your walk to good health. LadyRoz

Hi dkj When I started I read all of the posts because it helped me to know what to look for and what to look out for. Every day there is something new going on with the band and some times old posts can help don't be scared of some of the stories all do not happen to all and some will never happen because you have gotten a heads up for older bands. Enjoy your band it is a great tool to help you to a better life good luck. LadyRoz PS welcome you are on your way to good health

Hi K and Debby K it is so good to hear from you and to know you are doing well 83lbs is great. I have to appts to see doctor choben if debby wants to use one on 1/22 at 9:45 she can I was seen by her on 1/13 and I was filled to tight I was going back to have her take some out but now I think I will hold out and see how it goes. At the start I couldn't hold water now I'm eating a little after a week lost 7lbs maybe it was a good thing lol. Dr. Choben also takes all the fill out and then puts it back I have 10cc now down 110lbs so far.

Hi All It has been a long time since I have been on line. Things are going will it has been one year since my banding 1/7/08 I have lost 110 lbs so far and had my knees replaced I'm a new preson in 2009. I can walk without pain and i'm down to a dress size 18 from a 30 Ilove my band I'm so happy I had it done. Dr. Choban is the best doctor for the band (smile) I have a 14cc band I have 10cc in I'm hoping to lost 40 more lbs. by june that will be 150 lbs. pray for me I always pray for all of us banders on our way to good health. God Bless All hope to be back soon. LadyRoz.

Hi Everyone Sorry I haven't been around I hope all is well with all. I went in for a fill today it was done by Missy in x-ray she is getting very good at doing them she put 5cc in I have lost 50lbs altogather banded 1/7/08. Missy asked me to ask all Columbus banders to come to her suport group in June the frist Mon.. Hope to see you there. ladyroz

HI All I was told that Mellisa would do my fills and on 2/26 Mellisa did my fill she did a good job got it on the frist try but she only put 2.5cc in my 14cc band I didn't think it was enough until I ate some rice and it got stuck she came to see me in the hospital she said that I had enough cc in my band. Dr. choban told me to get my next fill in april they told me there was no appts. for april so I have to wait until May 8 which is 9 weeks I don't think that is fair it is so hard to control your eating with the band so loose. I have to fight not to eat and I still have 4 weeks to go. So I'm praying each day not to gain weight. Hope to see you all April 7 do any one know the time I'm coming for Zanesville OH Thanks LadyRoz

Hello all As I read your letters I know I must have seen you guys at Mt. West I had my banding on 1/7/08 I had a scare on tues. morning on mon. I ate some white rice that got stuck I have never been in so much pain in my life at about 1:30 in the morning the rice would not move it could not come up or go down I started to throw up but only water came up. I had to call the doctor on call for dr Choban who told me to come in right away because he thougt my band had slipped I was so scare. Thank God it was the rice I had to stay overnite. I saw Dr. Choban weds she let me go home after lunch. So please stay away from RICE. Michelle leaving is a great lost to the program I will miss her. She was great with me before I left the hospital. I hope all is well with the new ones who where banded this week. I wish I could come to the get togather next month than I would know each other when meet.
