Once a week isn't much bathroom time. Try to get things happening more frequently.
If nothing seems to help, be sure to run it by your doc.

The pain you are experiencing is colic. It starts from underneath rib and radiates to left shoulder. A simple remedy for this is peppermint tea.

It's a sad reality but there are many people that feel the need to put others down to make themselves feel better. Take all of the negativity and turn that into your motivation!!!! I don't know about you but nothing drives me more then when someone thinks I can't do something. You see them standing in the background, waiting for to see failure but when you succeed.....No words need to be spoken, it's in front of them and there's no denying your success and their nastiness! Good luck you've got this!!!!

Thanks y'all for all the support 😊

Finally lost 30lbs WOOHOO!!! Just proud of Myself and wanted to share ????????????

Indeed. The KEEPING weight off is the true help for me.... years later, I still have to try, but it stays off

She may indeed also lose the weight... but in my experience the real problem lies in keeping it off. For me, it was yo-yo dieting which made me fat in the first place. You just keep on walking forwards and be glad you have an awesome tool to help you on your journey.

Don't let her get to you.
You are on your own path.
You felt the band was best for you.
You might see better long term results.

Your band is probably just a little to full, Have you dr. Remove a very small amount & see if that helps. If it still does it remove a tad more. Better that than having a slip. That is what happened to me & Dr. Said give it a few more days for my band to a just & boy was that a mistake. Ended up having to have band completely emptied for about 4 months because of slight slip,am having it slowly filled again now. I'm almost 4 years post op

Vomiting is nothing to play around with, go back to dr. The sore throat maybe stick to liquids for a few days. For me the weather (cold mostly) makes my band tight in am. I saw suggestions here, to drink something hot, I started drinking hot Water with a little lemon in it. Or heat up a cup of almond milk and a splash of coffee for Breakfast.
Even after 6 years, I still have trouble, so don't beat yourself over the head. Eventually you will find a rhythm to the eating and drinking, and a reminder no big bites

good luck

WELCOME!!! Mine lasted a week and by the 2nd week I was back to feeling good. My hunger didn't come back until 3 weeks later.

Only had one stuck episode but I too need to slow my eating way down

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
LapBand ~ November 1, 2016

I would defiantly get another fill. You may still be able to eat those things just fine but not losing weight would defiantly make me go back for another fill asap.

Thank you @ cz.99 I'm by far very happy with my band. Loving this journey we are on. Hope your doing well also

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.

Thanks y'all, I've been very happy with my band so far.
@@weneebug it will happen, just seems to take a little more patience then we want to give at times. But it will happen.
