I had sore throat and my blood test showed it as well and they did the surgery.Good luck to you

I agree it was the best thing I have done! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

hello, I had my surgery 4,5months ago and on Monday I had my first fill only 1cc but I feel I have a good restriction

my doc suggested to consume 750-1000 calories and 1000 being a top.But for me if I consume only 700 its not enough and I get dizzy and very very tired. So everyday Im close to 900-1000cals. Also I had a problem, when I wasnt eating enough 700 cals or less my weight loss stopped and I guess my body was saving everything I ate.

Sammy, as far as I remember my belly looked bigger for a week or two.The gas was there for not more than week.I was using syrup Sabsimplex (medicine for kids) and it helped a lot.

I had my first fill 4,5months after my surgery. Last month I was feeling that I could eat more. Now I got one cc in my 10cc band, and it feels good.My doc said he wants everything to be healed perfectly. Im satisfied with my first fill:-)

I sleep only on my belly, cant sleep on my back.I dont think its bad as long as it doesnt hurt you.

hey girls:-)) you can find out how much muscle, water and fat you have in your body on special scales.the scales sends through your body low electric current (you dont feel it) and based on the different resistance the scales counts the percentage that you have in your body. you can buy those scales but the ones the docs have are much more accurate and of coourse expensive. I told her that I go to the gym at least 2-3 times a week and she said that should be enough. On the other hand, we must lose some muscle because I have like 60kgs of muscle in my body and if I want to weight around 70kgs it cant be just the muscle.You always have some portion of water and fat along with muscle.Anywas I got my protein drink yesterday for dinner an d it has 37grams in one serving plus I try to eat protein during the day,so that should do. The hairloss sarted so Im eating some vitamines for it, Im also a bit scared of low calcium, because I definitely dont get the daily amount.So I have too buy some pills. I went to gym yesterday and spent one hour on threadmill and 20minutes doing weights.Let me tell you if there wansnt our thread I wouldnt probably go:-)because I was kinda lazy yesterday. The thread definitely helps me!! Everybody is doing great, keep the good work!!!:-)) we go girls:-))

Hi all:-)) I wanted to go to the gym yesterday, but I was trying to eat by the docs guidelines and I almost fainted.well from 7a.m. till 7p.m. I ate only 450cals, for me its torture and I cant even think not talking about moving...lol I guess my doc is a bit crazy:-)) Today Im doing better I will be something around 900-1000 cals after dinner.I guess I wont be able to do hour of threadmill + 30minutes of weights but at least 30minutes on threadmill+weights should do:-)) Do you know how much muscle you have lost? Cause the doc told me that I lost too much muscle,I dont understand it cause I go to the gym + I try to eat my protein! do you have any suggestions? you all are doing great!!!

If you feel you want to wait why dnt you suggest that to your doctor? I would definitely do that its your body and you know what feels right! I think its better too lose one pound each week than to be too restricted that you have PBs (although I had Pbs without fill, but that was entirely my fault-not chewing well). Good luck!!!

I had my first fill 4,5months after surgery.They wanted everything to heal and at the begining I dont think its necessary cause at least for two three months I didnt need the fill I had quite good restriction. Yesterday I got my first fill and it was only 1cc into my 10cc band.

Hi, I have 10cc band and only one cc in and I got my first fill today (after 4,5months after surgery) and the doctor said that it was a last one for a long time,cause she doesnt like to give fills cause once the weight loss stops there are no more options if the the band is filled. so restriction or no restriction Im not getting any fills anytime soon:-( Im so mad, isnt the band supposed to be filled so you HAVE some restriction and dont have to rely on your discipline only????

hi Susan and Bluehill, once she accesed the port with needel it didnt hurt although it was a weird feeling,yep it was my first fill ever. I was also lying down and she just did the fill no standing up or sitting?:-)I guess every doctor is different. It was my first fill ever and I guess for a long time last one,because my doc says she doesnt like filling her patients too much cause she is afraid that they will come back later on and there will be no more room for another fill and what I think is that they never fill you over 7-8 cc even if you have 10cc band. she told me to eat much less,so I gave it a try I was hungry as hell and cause I ate only 400cals till 7p.m. I was nauseous and thought that I would faint.thats not a good way for me cause I need some energy to be able to go to the gym.I think that the woman is a bit crazy,she also told me that alhough I have lost a lot of fat I also lost a lot of muscle,I dont understand it since I go to the gym and excercise plus I do some weights...hm Im just thinking that it might be that Im not eating enough...she told me to eat veggies for dinner and I said oh ok with meat right and she told me no cause it stays too long in the stomach...ok where from am I supposed to get the protein? she said yougurth but if you look at the packaging yougurth has like 3.2grams of protein in one glass (or however you call it:-)) and Im supposed to get at least 80grams of protein? Theres something wrong in her calculation,dont you think? I know shes "just" a surgeon and wants to see the results but there are some limits I cant go under or over...like eating under 800cals.I cant work or think when I dont eat... sorry about the bickering I just needed to tell it to someone:-)) thanx for listening:-)) hopefully you all are doing much much better:-))

Hi everybody, well well, lately my favourite excercisse is shopping and I tink shopping for 5 hours and walking counts as well:-)) I bought dress for a party that is held 1st December and it kinda fits but needs to be more loose.I have them hanging on the wall,so whenever I want to eat something bad I wont cause of the dress:-)) keep up the great work oeverybody!:-)

Hi everybody, count me in I will try my best to do that:-))Its not that much and at least a walk is better than nothing!!!Good luck to everybody

Hi all April Bandits:-) I would definitely go for the excercise challenge,cause lately Im so lazy and that would definitely help!!!

Mallorie, LMAO I just imagined you sliming on the judge:-)) hey you are getting banded at my birthday, I guess its your(and mine) lucky day!! Truly said I usually have PB or sliming or golfball only when I eat at home, I think its because I dont watch properly what I eat or talk to my flatmates so I dont bite enough.PB never happend to me in public,restaurant,work... Good luck to you and keep us updated:-)) Eva

Hi Kelliebelly, you are lucky that the chromium works for you. It didnt work for me or my mother and sister. I asked about it my doc and he told me that we all have enough of chromium that this excess chormium just gets out of the body without any use.Basically he said it doesnt work. Its awesome thatit works for you!!!

hey Amourette,I put some new pics on before and after thread:-)) its the last two pages of the thread:-)put your pics up as well:-))

wow sounds great! those stupid guys must have been so embarassed and I think you taught them good lesson. For a while they will be afraid to say ugly stuff like that!!
