I eat oatmeal everyday as my breakfast. I occasionally add some raisens

I have 1 14cc band with 3.5cc in. I am going Thursday for .5-1.0

Milk of Magnesia

I went in today for my port revision. The surgery only lasted about 10-15 minutes. My doctor dais the port had flipped asa staich had torn. he also added 2cc while he was at it. I have very minor pain now. I hope that my next visit they will be able to hit the port on the first try.

did your body have a reaction to the band to make this happen?

After 5 unsuccessful attempts at a fill I go in tomorrow for a port revision. The doctor is going to add 2cc while he is re-locating the port. How common is the issue of port flipping and does the surgery generally fix it. I read the above post that says a surgery has to be done for every fill and that has me nervous. What is recovery time, active on exercise again and also the diet right afterwards:confused:

Some RiteAid drug stores carry a line of GNC products

I would put it under my pillow and hope that the LapBand fairy visited me:cool:

I am not quite 3 months out and have done two conventions plus a week in Vegas, just be consious of what you are eating and look for mushy or soft foods. I was in Vegas a week and lost two pounds:cool:

you go girl.....:smile2:

I plan to attend and the things I am interested in are: 1. Nutrition 2. Execise 3. Motivational speakers:smile:

Look at it this way; if you lose some weight you can be thin. But they cant do anything to change from being assholes!:drool:

They will fall off on their own in a few days

I wasnt walking much before, I am watching what I eat such as carbs and sweets. I dont eat any fried food, drink plenty of water asnd protein and go to the gym regualrly

I lost a bunch of weight about 20 years ago before being banded. My ex-wife was not happy with my new look or body, she constantly made a point that I did it only so I could attract more women. Some people are just idiots and we need to move on. I am sure you will find someone that appreciates your committment to getting healthier.:thumbup:

I would take a picture of you at your highest and a pic of you or someone you wish to look like(lowest) and post them both on the refridgerator door and by your computer. Looking at where you want to be should be motivation to get you moving. Good Luck!:thumbup:

We had a rep from the Lap Band company speak at a support meeting. He said that a couple of revisions had repaired or improved all problems with their product. He said that the band should last forever:smile:

Most over weight people have sleep apnia and it will not prevent you from having the surgery. I also have sleep apnia and needed 16# pressure to stabilize. I have now lost over 50# and do not use the machine anymore:smile:

If I remember correct, Slimfast is higher in calories and sugar:smile:

I go to The Viatamin Shoppe and buy the whey isolate protein powder. They have a wide selection of flavors. I mix the poder with non fat milf in my Bullet. When I need to take a shake with me, I but either Lean Body or Muscle Mildk also available in flavors at The Viatamin Shoppe:smile:

I bought some baby food and was not able to eat it because of the taste. I know why babies dont want to eat that crap. I ate applesauce, soups, squash and cottage cheese it the mushy stage:smile:

lol...so if I lose 100#.....

The port area was not knumbed and I was not asked to sip water which leaves me to believe that nothing was put in:angry_smile:

Very Very mild discomfort. I went to the support group meeting the same day as surgey and walked one mile on day 2, on day 3 I walked 6 miles

My doctor told me it was based on the diameter of the esophagus
