I've had my lap band for... gee... over two years now! I've lost 80 pounds, I'm HOT and I feel great. I really wanted to lose a few more pounds and by band was at 7cc's. Well, I went in and got .5cc's. MISTAKE I got home and couldn't even swallow my own spit. I was throwing up foamy spit all night last night and even woke up choking on it. I wouldn't swallow my own spit, girls! Can you even imagine!?!? Well, I went in and got .25cc's taken out and boy, do I feel better. I'm on a liquid diet for 48 hours now, but I am just happy to be able to drink some water! ...anyway, that was weird. Interesting night.

This makes me so angry: Sara Rue is on those (annoying) Jenny Craig commercials claiming she lost 55 pounds using the great food plan that Jenny Craig gave her. LIAR. She got the Lap Band and that is how she lost 55 pounds. I don't know how they aren't getting sued for this. It's false advertising. We all know how hard it is to lose weight the traditional way, and they are making it look like no big deal. She did that with the LAP BAND like I did and what makes her so great that she can't admit it? Someone should file a complaint because this is ridiculous.

I'm asking for people who have had their band for a while... so say: 1. how often you puke and 2. how long you've had your band for.

bump it up with another complaint: my mom totally copied me and got the band, too and now she is always complaining about the same things!!! SIGH!!!

Well, I woke up this morning and I felt all better - temp is 98.6. Not a problem!

I've read the the fever (as long as it's under 101° and goes away within 2 days) is nomal.

Is anything wrong? Should I go to the DR or should I just brave it out? I spent the night at the hospital for monitoring 9standard for my DR). It varies between 99.9° and 100.5°. Also, why can't i stay awake for more than 5-10 minutes at a time? The anesthesia?

Will someone help me? I'm SO full!!

I had one (ughhhh) and it gave me a bladder infection! P.S. "old" is ten years older than you are. So, yeah, 31 is old (for me, at least) :-)

...and I'm wondering what to do with this second half of a peach. Woah is me. I have SO many problems. I think I'll so shopping at Victoria's Secret to make myself feel better... I love this band.

Don't reconsider... it's the best decision I ever made. Bypass was too major for me and I didn't want to cut my stomach out.

I'm at 7.5 and I think this is the best fill I have ever had. weight's just falling off, which is nice. What are you at and is it working?

This is what the the band is like!

I di well on my liquid diet, but only becaues I knew I HAD to do well or I would die... or so I thought :-) I just didn't want to ruin my band and I was ready to start my weight loss and that was the first step. I was very happy with the liquid dietbecause I lost 50 of the 80 pounds that way!

The upper GI was the worst part of the whole process for me.
