I recently got more fluid in lap band and now i have chest pain. It hurts every time I inhale. I am still able to eat (no blockage) but my chest is consistently hurting. Does anyone know what it could be?

How can you tell if the pouch is stretched?

I have a slim fast drink for lunch and have Pasta, vegetables, or something else I am able to eat (I'm a vegetarian). I exercise around four times a week, usually swimming for 45 minutes or going on the elliptical for around 30 minutes. I do feel I have restriction for what I can eat or how fast I eat but not how much I eat. I have a 10 cc band filled up with 7 ccs. I am frustrated because I am not losing weight. Any suggestions?

To answer your questions... I do exercise around 4 times a week and I always follow the no drinking while eating rules. I keep track of my eating habits, I usually skip Breakfast (not hungry) and have a slimfast drink for lunch. I am a vegeterian so I usually eat some kind of vegetables, Pasta, or other non-meat, non-bread foods. I really want to lose weight and I try to stay away from the bad foods and eat the good ones... my concern is how much I'm eating. I am always very hungry by dinner time. Any suggestions how to keep losing weight? Thanks for all your help!

I had Dr. Kurian and you should know that you are getting the best doctor in the world. Not only is she very experienced but she truly cares about her patients.

It has been 6 months since my surgery and I have only lost around 15 pounds. I do not know why I am not losing weight. I had a leak a couple months ago but that was fixed and now I have 7 ccs. I am exercising but I am still hungry. Please help because I am feeling upset and discouraged. I though I would have lost a lot more by now!

I had my surgery on 10/15 and I only lost around 15 lbs. I am up to 7 ccs so why am I not losing weight?
