i felt like that for a week. i was always thinking a good burp would clear this up. gas x and walk

hey just saw the updated post. sorry to hear that but stay positive and if you still feel this is for you go for it. i was postponed for 3 months after i received my first surgery date and was so mad so i understand. let us know if you decide to continue your journey.

a pillow for the ride home, place it over your stomache before putting on your seatbelt

good question i had no idea about the sleeve when i chose the band. i like that the band can be reversed. if in the future it has to come out who knows. i want to wait to see the longer results of the sleeve too, i have not researched it much.

i agree with the other posters. i was nervous up to the day of my surgery. on that day i was calm. they took me to the back, the doc said we are giving you something to relax and put a mask on me. 3 seconds later (lol thats what it seemed like) i was waking up in recovery. i dont remember a thing after the mask was placed on. best wishes

i think its normal to have that feeling i had it and i just enjoyed my eating. im not sure if i pigged out i just ate whatever i wanted. lol maybe that is pigging out. i can honestly say i do miss eating large quantities of food especially my favorites (chpis) BUT....im loving my results and the help of my band so bye bye buffets. good luck on your journey.

if you go to lap band complications you will find people who have had issues. as for me i think i have first bite syndrome. in the beginning like the first 3 months it felt like i constantly had something stuck in my throat. over time it went away it was just annoying. it does come back every once in awhile. im fortunate to say so far i have not had any major issues.

bobbie hang in there, now that your band is repaired im sure you'll do fine. 22 more to go for me. im hoping to be there by my bandiversary too. if not so what i cant remember the last time i was this small. lol at myself at saying 267 is small but for me it is considering where i started. keep up the good work.

prev weight 272 curr weight 267 im glad with the results thus far, i have had struggles along the way and im just trying to learn from my mistakes. i know i can improve my nutrition as well and not be so Protein focused. good luck everyone!

i agree with dsimms....plan a getaway even if its only for a few hours.

stacy i agree with you all the way.

lizabeth you are so close, keep it going

rd77 congrats to you. thats 2 successes at the same time.

congrats to you that is so awesome. its so much fun to be able to clown around with the kids and not worry about anything. i played volleyball yesterday and was actually running to get to the ball. have not played VB that hard since high school. im loving it!!!

great advice....im taking my first cruise in may so i needed this.

congrats all, i will be joining this club soon

xavier yes its a great feeling, i know im so close. in the past i never would have bought jeans in advance. these were on clearance so i figured why pass up a good deal. i enjoy clothes shopping again,yea!

prev weight 274 curr weight 272 im happy to see this loss b/c i had gained 6lbs and was back at 280. im glad i got my head together and im back to being a loser.

this is a great thread, i hate always thinking about the scale. i bought 2 pairs of 20s while i was a 26. i hope to be in them this month, im in a 22 now and they are getting a bit baggy. i can put the 20s on but can't button/zip. im looking forward to getting in them.

hi. just signed up my goal is 17lbs. good luck all!!!
