  1. Dr. Marley did my lap-band .
  2. Thanks for the information. I'll try it.
  3. I just started with this pain right below my breast. I've had my band for a year now and I haven't had any problems until now. Has anyone else had this problem? It can be very painful at times.
  4. After I eat I get pain in my shoulder and neck is normal.
  5. I had flu last weekend. By Tuesday I had to call Dr. When in and he unfilled my band to give my stomach a rest. He said if this happens again to call right away, and if after hours or weekends go to the
  6. I'm feeling fine now. Called the dr. he wanted to see me. He unfilled my band for a week. I go back next week and he will start to fill again.
  7. I was sick and throwing up. Now I'm worried that my band might have slipped.
  8. I'm having a hard time with head hungry. I struggle with all my bad habits. I have lost45 lbs. gained 5 lost that now I gained 2. I feel that my band is tight enough, because It hurts when I eat. . I know I don'tI feel like a lost cause. I was baned Feb 11th. Please HELP!
  9. My Dr. has you do liquids after a fill. I was wondering what others do?
  10. So sorry to hear but your bad experience. Hope you are feeling better. God's speed. Jill
  11. OUCH! I feel bad that it hurt so much. What my Dr. does is:you lay down & put your hands above your head then when he is ready you lift your feet so your stomach is hard, that way he can feel the port better. Hope next time goes better.
  12. Congratulations! Me too. It feels sooo good. It's the first time in 5 years.
  13. I didn't realize that I would have to count calories. I thought the band would do the work for me. I'm not good dieting that's why I'm fat. I knew I would eat healthy but count calories. Boy was I stupid.
  14. I can walk but not for exercise. Thanks for the help. I never think of the YWCA. Thanks again.
  15. I 'm disabled and need to find exercise that I can do. I can't walk etc. I ride a stationary bike, but would like to do more. Any idea would be great.
