    Wednesday I had my lapband filled back up. I recently had Fluid removed from being to tight. So Wednesday I got 2.4cc back which is a total of 5cc. I'm eating and drinking fine. No issues at all. But Saturday I woke up with this pain right under my left rib cage. Dull pain but gets pretty intense sometimes. Then it goes to my shoulder as well. But my complaint is under my rib. It's off and on but doesn't go away. I thought maybe it's because I don't go to the bathroom regularly maybe once a week. But I've went and the pain has not went away completely. I've looked up symptoms on google and well I don't want to worry about all the horror stories I see. I thought maybe a stomach ulcer as the pain comes and goes but I don't feel like I have enough symptoms to say it's that. I fear it is my band but I'm eating and drinking just fine. Any ideas or share the same experiences with lapband?

    My rant.....

    Maybe I'm just being a brat but I feel like I don't have support on my decision to have lapband. Yes I spent the money because I was tired of the struggle of not losing weight. Not that I still don't struggle but my lapband helps me. So yesterday I was told by my step mother that she's lost 39 lbs (same as me) that what helped her lose weight was the motivation that I got surgery and spent money and she was gonna prove that she could do it without that. Geeeee thanks! 😒 Mind you we never had a great relationship. Glad I could motivate you in such a way to make yourself healthier. Idk how to respond I was just like well I needed it and said I was happy I could help. But part of me felt like it was a jab and I even told my husband about it and he had no comment and I know he didn't because he also thinks I shouldn't have done the surgery and paid money for it. My step mother has been losing consistently but in 300 calories maybe 500 if that. Well I'm still enjoying my food and wine and losing weight not starving myself. Granted I have days I can't eat without being stuck all day but usually I can have a decent meal with no issues. Anyways I really can't help but feeling irritated that she said that. Idk but I do know I've tried and without my band I wouldn't have lost the weight I have so far. I know there will always be nasty comments but ugh it sucks. Especially feeling like she was pretty much laughing in your face like hahaha I lost weight and didn't spend all that money. Idk feeling irritated 😤

    Currently I have 5cc in my band, I think it might be to much because I do vomit often. My throat feels sore today at the base of my neck. Wondering if that's the case or if I'm just having tighter days more often? Just don't want to have my band slip.

    I have no idea what happen because I feel fine but I've lost restriction. I'm hungry all day and feel like I can eat eat eat..... I go Monday for a fill. Hope it gets better but I know I've gained a few pounds back.

    I would ask them why they take so long between fills? I have to wait 4 weeks. Idk how long it's been for y'all but seems like forever to me hopefully this time you both will feel some restriction

    Thank you!! @@jcordova204 please let's keep in touch! I know the more people I can talk to that is in the same boat as myself makes such a difference. I actually think I may be in my green zone finally. I lost 2 more lbs already. I'm at 5cc's. I really feel full most of my morning until afternoon. I make myself drink my Protein shake though. But food isn't on my mind until 12-1pm. I hope to encourage everyone and we can all "band" together and help each other out when we struggle thru. This really has been the best decision I have made for myself.
