I think u can stretch the pouch, lately i hav been eating a little bit more im going in to see my doctor

u not alone we r all friends here,I experience the exact same thing with my cousin who is also, my best friend she wants the surgery but her insurance does not cover it,so she started saying negative things to me like u going to look good with ur clothes on, but when u take them off it will look bad with that excess skin, so I did her one better I told her she looks bad now with her clothes on and off, if its the excess skin I was worry about I can have that taken care of as well, its about me feeling good n being heathy for me she's upset that she cant get healthy,so now when we talk she just ask how much weight have u lost I tell her I dont weigh myself n I wont until I see results, but in reality I know how much Ive lost I just rather not discuss it with her,we dont talk as much anymore thats her lost not mine, so dont u feel bad it will be those people in the end that will wish they were u. Good Luck!!!!:thumbup:

hi, everyone im trying to figure ouy how to put my ticker at the bottom fo my page how can i make that happen, havent figure it out yet.

hello, im in vancleave,ms just banded on 5/12/08 still looking for a support meeting to attend in ocean springs do u know one

I heard u can stretch ur pouch if u overeat n that causes problems,like band slippage.

u should take 1 vitamin a day like flintstone multi- complete or a wal-mart brand n calcium chews n B-12 pills, this will help u alot.

i heard that u can drink some ensure or boost and tha will help, good luck!

be careful bending that can cause ur sticthes to burse,so be careful and good luck.

ashley blue my BMI was 50 and i was 295, borderline high blood pressure and i also had a five year diet history, I didnt have any medical problems, my doctor was a known surgeon with tricare I was referred to him by Tricare. Dr. Steve Weinstein in Mobile,Al

Elaine, u can start with full liquids lie yogurt smoothies, cream base soups, sugar-free crystal lightor the walmart brand its really good like the fruit punch or the orange early rise try these things and i promise it want be so bad, i ha my lapband on may12,2008 ive lost 35 pounds, just try some of these things it want be so bad or try mashed potatoes very thin like water this will help, but fix potatoes with skim or 1% milk. good luck!

you r doing great when i was on my econd week i started eating very thin mashed potatoes made with 1% milk, smoothies from the store and cream soup im doing fine ive lost 35 pounds since may12,2008 so it's ok just never eat more than 4oz. good luck!

hello, ashley blue Ive just had surgery May12,2008 I was approved by Tricare Prime it didnt take much it depends on your doctor and you to send in any weight loss attempts and thats it i was approve in 2 days, but also your BMI has to meet their requirements, so just hang in it will happen.

u should not get discourage it takes time just stick to your liquids it's only been a week if u stick with your diet u will see results soon.

Hello, everyone I had lapband on May 12,2008 so far Ive lost 35 pounds,but Ive starting having pain on my left side that comes and goes anyone having this problem.
