Suzi,

I had the same problem as you with the vomitting. I ended up irritating my espohgus. With all the vomitting I did not lose any weight. They had to loosen my band ,I actually am going this week for them to start filling again

He sounds like a quack his expectation are unreal. Do yourself a big favor and get a different doctor

AMY,

I too have AENTA and they paid for everything. My band was done by Dr. Ferrara from Dr. Smith's office. Everything will be fine

I know go to nutrionist and therapy for overeating. If you would like to get some more info you can email me at PHIL0355@AOL.COM.

I would love to find a support group in our area that really helps a lot.

Good luck

PHIL

It will be 2 years may 6 that i had my band. In the begining I lost a lot of weight then I got sick and they had to loosen my band and I put some of the weight back on. I go this Thursday for a fill 1st in a long time

I think my illness is finally under control. I am now going for terapy for my food addiction and working with a dietician. I am also planning on going to Shades of Hope

for an intensive 6 day inpatient care. I am looking for a support group in the Fort Worth area. To every one good luck and God bless us in our battle against our food problems

Once They Gave Me Happy Shot I Didn't Know Anything. Your In Some Pain After Surgery Nothing You Can't Handle. You Will Be Fine After A Week.

The Fisrt Week You Will Be Able To Eat Very Little. After They Put You On Mushies You Will Eat More And Feel Hungary That Is Normal. You Will Not Be On Total Restriction For A Few Months. It Takes Several Fills Befoe You Are On Total. Just Hang In And Don't Overeat And The Weight Will Come Off Fast. I Had My Band Put In 3 Weeks Ago And Have Lost 37 Lbs. You Will Be Surprised How Great You Will Feel. It Is The Best Thing You Could Do For Yourself. Best Of Luck

Phil
