Hi Rose, sorry your having trouble too, but misery loves company...lol..lol. Maybe we can help each other. I eat all the wrong foods and never exercise, I need to get motivated, I lost 45lbs but gained back 7.

I wonder if it would help when taking pills. I have more problems with taking my medications than anything else.

What's the trick with pineapple juice and papaya enzyme?

I went in today for a fill, the first one in a year. The Dr. said he would only give me 0.5cc since I already had 8cc's in my size 11 band, then he checked and said I only had 6cc's so he gave me 1.0cc and wants me to come back in 2 months. He didn't seem too concerned that the fill didn't compare with his notes, should I be????

I have found that the pain is from diverticulitis :tongue_smilie: and to top it all off, I now have internal and external hemorrhoids:cursing:. I have another Dr. appt. next week, hopefully they can do something, I am so tired of suffering!!!

I take 5 pills a day and have found the best way to get them down is to take with my coffee in the morning. If I wait till later in the day or try to take them with water, they usually get stuck and that is a terrible feeling.

Wow, let me know what you find out, I have blue cross.

I too suffer from pain on my left side and am thinking it has something to do with my bowels. I feel bloated and gassy alot!! This weekend the pain was also through my back as well. :biggrin:

I too was banded in August of 2006 and have lost a total of 45 pounds. Sure makes you feel like a failure doesn't it??

I know the feeling, I have only lost 45 lbs. since surgery in August of 2006. Gotta get back on track:)

I'm down south, in St. Mary's county and was banded August 29, 2006 by Dr. Singh in Baltimore. Have wondered way off program, need to get back on track!!

My favorite brand is Breakstone, mixed with International Delight liquid coffee creamer, yummmmmm :cool::mad2:

We don't check in til 06-30-07, I'll let you know when we get back!!

That's the one, we have reservations at The Inn at Pointe View. I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions of the place.

Has anyone ever been to Deep Creek Lake? We're planning on going there for our honeymoon, just wanted to know where's the best place to stay, what to do, etc.......

Hi Katschai, Dr. Singh did my surgery August 29, 2006. It was the best decision that I have ever made and I :kiss2: LOVE Dr. Singh, he is the best!!! Congrats and good luck!!

As of today, 204.5 :clap2:

Thanks for the tips!!

Any ideas for hair loss, I was banded in August and now my hair is coming out. Has anyone had this experience, if so what did you do?????

27lbs. as of today, stalled over Christmas but ready to get back on track!!

Good morning, I am down a total of 24.5 pounds as of this morning and I feel absolutely wonderful. I can just imagine what it feels like to lose 50!!!

August 29 Nochoice -15.5

I am so glad you started this thread. I was banded on the 29th of August and thought something was wrong with me because I can eat a whole bowl of oatmeal!! I'm on the mushie stage and following the guidelines but I didn't think I would be able to eat that much.

Could someone please help me, I don't see any site to go to but would love to find one as I also need help getting enough protein.:help:
