Hey Luluc, I too feel that it can take more for some people to reach their sweet spot. I have a 10 cc Realize Band and I was banded on Sept. 8, 2008 and I have just reached my sweet spot at 8cc's which was about a week ago. Some people need more and some people need less, but it's your band and remember it's also your Doctor and you need to be able to talk to him and ask more questions concerning your band.

Thanks lonestar, I now know that I will be able to eat chicken again, but I will be sure to take my time and chew very well. Right now I am at the point where if anything I think about eating even looks like it can get stuck I choose not to eat that :thumbdown:.

Hang in there Suzette!

I have to say that I have learned the hard way with eating and not chewing up my food good enough! I actually decided yesterday morning that I was going to eat some chicken that I had bbq'd the day before. It was still nice and tender and I only ate a little bit of a drumstick. I thought I had chewed it up well but as I left home and was driving, I had to pull over and vomit. I have been banded since Sept.8th and I have only thrown up once. I have gotten things stuck two times before and I've never been able to vomit it back up. I really was in bad shape yesterday and eating chicken will not be on my list of things for awhile.

I am with some of the other people who have learned to not worry about my weight during my cycle and a couple of days after. I also have experienced my cycle date changing and I did not know that when your weight changes your cycle date will change.

Hey Cathy when were you banded?

I took off two weeks, I am a teacher assistant.

Congrats Muurphmann, you are doing great! You are right about the excerising, I was banded on 9/8/08 and I've lost bout 46 pounds and but I know that if I worked out I would lose more. Thanks, I needed the inspiration.

Congrats on getting your date, it is worth the wait even though sometimes it seems like it takes FOREVER!

I remember posting this same note the day before surgery, I was sooooo excited but at lil nervous. Stay strong on Congrats!!!!!

hey great problem, grateful.congrats

Hey Kal, I feel you on the quick jab when you wear jeans. How funny! It's a quick reminder that it's there.

I Yes, I can feel my port. It is located on my left side right below my breast. I can see also, but it does not bother me at all, I just ignore it. I hope that everything goes well with you.

Congrats, hows it going?

Hey, sorry about your good/bad experience. You seem strong and together, and you know what your next step should be, which is great. Keep your head up and continue holding yourself together and I hope that your revision goes well. Sorry about your mom.
