  1. I would love to join the Valentine challenge. I need all the motivation I can get.
  2. I was banded on 4/7/09 and only lost 50 lbs. It has been a struggle for me I work so hard to get little result. My doctor thinks I'm doing well considering I only have 3.50 cc in my band. It appears that the band is still tight n he will not give me a fill until it loosen up. I have manage to lose slowly but it has been a struggle. Sometime I feel like giving up bc I can eat a pretty good amount of food. I need restriction soon my next appt is Jan 18 hope I can make it.

  10. Delivered, I see we have the same surgeon Dr. Collier. I had to have .25 cc remove from my band this month. I was so miserable I couldn't think. I'm happy to have a doctor the listens too me.
  11. I had a fill a couple weeks ago and I was feeling the same way. I had the doctor remove some of it and I'm still losing but slow.
  12. My first fill I receive 2 cc.
  13. Sound like you are too tight. I receive a fill on last month it was too tight. I had to get .25 remove and I felt an instant relieve. Make sure you keep your appointment with your doctor. Take care
  14. I'm having the same problems maybe I'm not eating slow enough.
  15. I experience the same thing. I had to go in for an unfill on today couldn't keep anything down. I was miserable and scared to sleep. I felt much better right after.
  16. I'm in the same boat with the tightness and uncomfortable. I feel everything that's comes down and even PBing and throwing up but I have a appointment on tomorrow to get some fluid remove. I hope I hadn't damaged my band.

  21. I think I'm at a plateau. My intake is about 900-1100 calories a day but I'm exercising 3 to 5 days a week for 90 minutes. I'm a little puzzle on what I'm doing wrong.
