Hiii. I'm almost filled to the max in a 5 cc band..I'm at 4.45..but haven't really been losing..not gaining either. I'm actually goin to the doc friday to see if I can get a lil more for a top off since I haven't had any adjustments since 2009. Maybe some leaked out or doc said when weight is loss u may need to get adjustments. So anyway..everyones different. Maybe chew more thoroughly so avoid stuck situations. Or I would ask for a flouro..where they can see what ur band looks like, maybe its slipped a lil hence not bein able to keep anything down..I heard that's a symptom. I would def go back tho and demand them to figure this out. Bc its not adding up that u can't keep anything down but ur also not losing. Good luck!

Go to a bariatrics place. They do everything for u..all my doc put was knee problems..which I didn't have and my bmi was high. And I was approved no problem..they'll at least work to get u approved.

Well how's ur weight loss been goin? If not so good its bc ur not eating and that starvation modes kicked in or will eventually. Plus u should eat bc u need ur Protein and Fiber..otherwise u won't feel so good. My doctor wanted me doing 3 meals a day but I found I was gettin enough protein and meeting the daily totals, so I do the 4-5 mini meals..3 meals and 1-2 Snacks a day with one of the snacks is usually a Protein Drink..a low cal one like myoplex lite. And at the beginning during healing I wasn't too hungry as well..ur still probably a lil swollen..but that will change soon..around the 5th week I was beginning to be really hungry and it took me a few times with the fills to be comfortable..it'll happen, just follow the instructions by ur doc, tweak a lil if u must to better fit you..bc everyone is different..just remember a lot is trial and error and it takes a lil bit to get the hang of it..its been almost 3 yrs for me and I finally feel like I got the swing of things. Good luck!!

ugh..ive been at such a stand still...and it is totally my fault..its gotten so cold i havent walked and i havent gone to the gym. im stuck at 216 right now. i have a drs appt on monday afternoon..last month i was 220..so my dr will be proud to see ive gone down a lil..but i think i was just bloated and stuff that day i saw her bc within a day or 2 i was back at 216 and have been there ever since. NOT GOOD!! i have to kick myself starting tomorrow..i need to do something..i feel like im getting lazier and lazier..this is wat happens to me in the winter. monday night i think im going to attempt to go swim at the gym..if not then def..no matter what..walk at night. i have to take control right now!! grr..so fustrated!!

thank you very much!! u too!!

I was a diet coke addict for a very long time. And I had to give it up after surgery..wasn't too bad bc I xouldnt have anything rieally bc I was healing and didn't want anything. I'm 3 yrs post op and I have a few mouthfuls every now and then when I crave it. My dr said its not good but a tiny bit would be ok. I would not recommend drinking more than a tiny mouthful every once in awhile. Like I said it doesn't bother me when I do..plus its only like once a week or 2..but I wouldn't wanna chance it with any more than that.

I agree..try uping ur calories. I played with mine..I found I too wasn't losing at 950 calories a day..now I have about 1200 and its been falling off..what a difference. And for night eating..go for healthy choices and something that's going to satisfy you and fill you up. I sometimes have a few grean beans or half a protein shake..I have the shake closer to bed time if I'm hungry bc I'm not comfortable with food sitting in my pouch all nite..I've woken up choking and spitting up in the middle of the nite and that scared me straight lol. Good luck

My lapband was done by dr. Davis at lawrence hospital in westchester. I don't think I was the exception. All I did was look up other lapband specialists and yes some did say they couldn't see me. But dr. Buchin totally took me with no issues. I just had to get all my records and bring them in for him. He's been amazing and I've lost over 60lbs with them so far and still going. So I highly highly reccommend him. He's part of lij and his new office is in huntington. Look him up or message me for his number. Good luck

26 from long island here. I agree with paula..so much easier when someones been or is going thru the same..the support system for eachother would be amazing!!

I'm curious about them too. Never had them but they look so good and have been wanting to try them..but I'm nervous too that my band may not like em lol.

Fedz..I saw dr geiss a few times..wasn't impressed..I needed a fill and was told to "give it a month" then come back..sure enought I gained. I didn't go back..I found a new dr. Maybe its time u might consider that. I saw dr. Buchin in lake success..he didn't do my surgery but he said..ok we're startin all over..let's pretend this is the beginning now. And he worked with me..still does..takes the time to sit and discuss..tests my band fluid..maybe u lost some fluid, it happened..I lost a lil before. But he's generous with his fills..he makes sure its the right time tho which is why he sits and goes over everything with u first. But I've never been denied..I also see his nurse practioner sophia..she's amazing too. Like I said maybe u should maybe look into them. They're in huntington now..not too far from syosset.
