i had lost 13 pounds within that week. after my 5th fill. because i got scared an ran to the doctor. but he said everything was ok. that was in may during that memorial day weekend. i still do not consume that many calories a day. maybe 400- 500. hope you feel better.

thank god i don,t my docotr hits it right everytime. i just push forward with my hands behind my head. like a situp position an i close my eyes everytime. this is my fifth fill so far. i go monday for my sixth one. but the area is starting to feel a little sore.

I did not start losing weight until my 4th fill.an i lost 12poundswithin that week.an during my 5th fill i have lost another 10-12 pounds this june-july. i go for my 6th fill monday.

That was my main concern. when i did mine i weighted 324 pounds. but i had lost 30 by the time i has my test. that help a lot.i had to do the treadmill test.which was my first time ever on one. i had to do the heart test. hang in there, it will happen.i had to wait 4 months before my surgery. at first i was so mad but everything happens for a reason. good luck.

on the news today a mother was aressted for neglect. what do you think. hes only fourteen years old.where was the intervention, where was the teachers, she says she was working. the kid is in foster care.he did not get this way overnight. what do you think.

I was banded on january 13th 09. had diabetes for six years. the day before surgery i was taken off my diabetes medication an have not been back on since, its been seven months. an was also taken off my high cholestral meds.so far everything is going great.

I seen the show. he was also featured on oprah. with his best friend. but i did see all that excess skin. when he pull it out. an it just fell. my goodness that was a lot.i love watching tlc. it has so many different out of this world stuff. that you have not seen before. like the tree man the lady who eats 33000 calories a day. the man with the exploding arms. conjoined twins the tumor man. just stuff you would not believe.

the same apply to me now in the mornings i can barley get coffee down.an for lunch sometimes its ok. then again when i try to eat yogurt i can only eat about two teaspon full.an again at night same thing.

hi i have the 4cc band. an i am on my 4th fill. an i have plenty restriction.it does work. so far i have lost 76lbs.
