slimmy120

After reading your relplies sounds like low cal jubes,or little tic tac are best.

You are and have done really well, you are what shows me can be done, so looking at my stats, i am doing just as well, just a few people who new others told me their weight lose was double and they were roughly my weight to start.thanx

How much have you lost over what period of time. And how long have you stayed at goal, not put on?

thank you for clarifying not actually an erosion, with search for info on it. Thankx.

What can cause band to erode? My friend said cola, but the band is on the outside of the stomache???? Any known facts?:thumbup:

Hers hoping some of the skin will catchup with the weightloss. Otherwise the drastic bit but will make me feel good about myself t/t etc.

If i had to wait months and months for a fill i would be ringing twice a week to see if anyone had cancelled or rebooked.

thank you for the book ideas will get both to read

thanx dont want to increase the appetite thought would decrease the appetite, but was worried what the juices would do on band thanx.

Thankyou for your comment what you said makes real sense, and you just saved me some money from gymics thanx

I noticed i too am eating alot more, have had my 4th fill 3 weeks ago, 27 kilos lost since 18/09/07. have my next fill 2mnth and 1 week away. I think fills getting addictive.:ohmy:

I had lap band 18/09/08 have lost 27 kilos so far. how does that compare ?what is it in pounds?:sneaky:

I currently read slimming and health magazine, and weight watchers magazine to keep me motivated, any other books magazine,etc ideas?:sneaky:

will try low cal mints, no gum then thanx.

looking forward to when get to goal and new low profile port, can see the weight gettttinnn there.:sneaky:

Do nicabate patches/lozenges affect lap banding? i know you cant take asprin. Any idea of what else you cannot take?:sneaky:

Are you allowed to have chewing gum, am trying to give up smoking? is it okay with the lap band?:sneaky:

I am for two litres of water a day, am having 2 skinny large flat white coffees a day, dont drink with meals,and am having 1000 to 1400 calories a day, trying to have more proteins protein 30 percent or so of meal. am i doing everything ok, got banded in sep 2007 and lost 25 kilos so far starting weight was 101kg.:sneaky:

Can really see my port now, have lost 25 kilos, but always been slim around waist area where it was put. But can see mine when am standing up without clothes, when lye down and turn over boy oh boy does it stick up. hope nothin horrible happens like happened to your mum, breaking the skin.:sneaky:

I have had 4 fills since sep 2007 , last 1 3 weeks ago, lost 25 kilos so far. the next fill not for another 2months 1 week.:sneaky:

I tend to eat 1200 to 1500 calories a day, will cut bread down, and add more protein to fill me up

You done really well I have lost 25 since mid Sep 2007, I started just above 100kg.Thank goodness someone else had port like mine,was starting to get self conscious and he said would get more noticable.I am now in 70's and sticks out, but i have always been slimmer around the waist area.

Drats thought may help with weightloss

Eating later a good idea, but cant eat too late as other half already home when i get home, and he wants to eat not too late as he gets up early, bumber, but will try and make as late as possible.

Thankx for your advice, want to lose faster, so 60 to 90 it is.
