KCV

I was at Disney last yr at Christmas. Don't worry about not fitting in the rides, you should be fine. Good luck i hope you make your goal!

WOW, you said it. YES, I too feel angry with the results thus far from band. I feel the same way you do about this "stuck, painful, choking" feeling. I have asked before , is this what I signed up for for the rest of my like. I'm not losing weight, but I am choking with terrible pain when I eat, and yes I am chewing really good. I see my doctor next week, he needs to help me understand this!!!

Ok, so here I am banded about 4 1/2 months and I have gained and lost the same 5lbs now 4 times, its like I have restriction them I don't. Not sure about this. Need to get back to exercising more. Still I feel like I eat WAY less then I ever have before in my life, yet nothing. Anyone been banded as long as me with no loss?

3 months and NO restriction..........this is tough, such a disapointment. I can eat whatever I want as much as I want. In fact most of the time everyone is done eating their plate of food holding their stomachs because they are so full, and I'm sitting their after eating the same portions they did and I could eat more and not even feeling full. I say all the time, I'm the only one who could have weight lose surgery and still out eat the table.........of course I work hard at just stopping becuase I know there is enough food in there. Just praying for restriction. Go in for fill #3 next week, hopefully 3rd times a charm..!!!

WOW, that is awesome!!

Ive been banded 2 1/2 months now and I have not had and any restriction. I have had one fill and I go in today for another, I am worried sick this I will be of those people that this don't work for. No one ever talked about this, I wish I would have been informed.

Not sure about the pain, i hope you get to feeling better

Thanks! I will keep everyone posted. getting hungry today, so uping the protein intake, hope it helps!

Surgery behind me going into 2nd week of poet-op diet, it has been so easy. Mainly because I just have not been hungry. Recovery is slow, tried to get up and at em to fast. So I am back in the recliner forced to take it easy a little longer. Looking forward to feeling 100% so I can really start moving and get this weight off. I tell you it's like something inside has snaped and I am so ready to make this work for me and oh so excited!!!! good luck to everyone getting ready for their band, do the diet, do the best you can do. It is so worth it!!:thumbup:

GOING ON 2nd WEEK OF POST-OP DIET. THE PRE- OP WAS VERY TOUGH, BUT THE KEY TO SUCCESS IF PROTEIN!!!!!!!! YOU MUST FIND DRINKS HIGH IN WHEY PROTEIN. GO ONLINE AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND SOME LOCAL STORES THAT MIGHT SELL SOME HIGH WHEY PROTIEN SUPPLEMENTS. HANG IN THERE, IT DOES GET BETTER.

Funny you should ask, I just got off the phone with my doc office and they said that pain on the neck which feels likes tightening and needles is the band contracting. They said it will take time for that to go away. OUCH, I hate it!

I added my starting weight, but dont see it added yet?

I will be banded April 3rd at 7:45 am in Charlotte NC

where do we go for the april 3rd group, i am new to this whole site thing

Yes, I am set for 4-3-08 can't wait!
