I agree with dacreid. I think you should seek a second opinion and ask them to check the fill level. From everything I have read, and benn told by my docs, you SHOULD feel restricted! Also... is it possible that your band is not positioned correctly and it is allowing you to have too large of a pouch? I am new here, but that was the first thing that came to mind.

I know this sounds silly, but thanks for doing such a good job of describing the sensations when you got sick. I am pre-op, and of course I am curious to know what to expect. Sounds like it was so unpleasant, and so sorry you had to go through it, but knowing what to expect actually makes me feeler calmer!

Way to go on weight training! It's hard to get into the rhythm of doing something like that if you have never done it before. I used to work out quite a bit, and I remember the first time I lifted weights... I just felt awkward. Right now, I can't wait to get back into it. Though, at my current weight, I am sticking to water aerobics! Soon though...

I bet you are doing much better than you think you are, so don't sweat the small stuff. Keep up the good work. Your daughter sounds invaluable in helping you stick to your guns.
