I have had a lot of coughing at night & can not sleep. I don't wont to get any full out cuz I haven't lost any weight & I can still eat what I want too. So I hope this HELP to others! I work at night I would go to sleep & won't sleep an hour I would wake up coughing coughing coughing. My son David he works in MRI.he was about to go to work & He heard me coughing & he come in my room and said Mom if your not going to take any fill out, will you try a ice pack and place it on the top of my band. So we fix me a ice pack. I woke up 4 hours later no coughing no acid reflux and really rested. My son David said to try it it won't hurt me and it make not work the next time. But I do know that I got a lot of rest and like he said it may not work tomorrow morning but I'm going to give it another try. This may not work for others but it sure help me today .

I take amiben too I love it

This is just great!!! I know your proud. I know I'm down from a size 16 to a size 4-6. So now everyone calls me Skinny Penny. I'm proud too.

Hello, I was banded in May of 2009 in Monterrey,Mx by Dr Zappatta. I love my band, I think it is the best thing since slcie bread. I would do it all over again. Only problem that I've had which is my fault that I don't eat slow enough and it will come up. But that's the only problems I've had. I love my band

every other day cuz I can't stop eating fast or too much. my fault

EPRESCO303 you go I know you are on cloud 9.

Thanks Spidey Mom for the kind words. I know you was turning some heads in your high heel boots & the mini dress. Plus I know you felt like a million buck. I know I would have. You keep up the good work and knock them dead. Hope you all have a Happy New Year & less pounds next year.

I'm gone from a size 16 to a size 8! Yeppie

I PB several times a week but my fault. I know that I shouldn't but sometimes I just want that one more bite & knowing I shouldn't cuz it's coming up. But I do it all the time I just can't or haven't taught myself to just say NO

Happy Holidays to everyone. I'm proudly to say that I only have 12 lbs to my goal. Thinking of christmas and the best present I could ever have is that I've lost weight & thankful for the lap band.

sheelk, Don't u just love Margaret. I think she's great. She really knows what she's doing.

Hello to everyone. It's been awhile since I've been on too. Maybe I'm getting back into things. I've lost 25 lbs since may of this year & I'm very proud of that. I went to little sturgis in sturgis ms, and everyone could tell that I've lost weight. Good riding to everyone and ride safe.

hello I'm from north miss but I had my lap band done in Monterrey,MX. I love my band & would do it again I've had no problems. Well I over eat sometime & that's my fault I've got to learn to eat slow slow slow

Stacy, Go for it. I had mind done in Monterrey,MX in May and never have had a group of drs and nurses treat you so well. I'm glad I went to Monterrey. My son is in the medical field and he was against it but after he saw the good work that that did he was glad too. So go for it you'll be glad you did.

EPRESCO, did they tell you why they wouldn't put a refill in your band.

less of me, I am deeply sorry about your port. I'm with the other your dr in mexico should fix it free. That has to be just terrible to get a fill and they can't find your port. Well hang in there we are here and feel your pain. I too went to Monterrey,Mexico and had my surgery May 18th by Dr Zapata. I've had a refill and they stuck me the 1st time and hit my port. Let us know what you decide and best of luck. Hang in here!!!

hello to everyone. I had my 1st refill on July 3,2009 and have lost another 5lbs since then. I'm really glad I had the refill I can really tell the differents. I'm looking forward to Little Sturgis Bike Rally next month finally alot lesser of me.

finally after my 1st refill on July 3, 2009 the scales has finally moved. I did lose 13 lbs after the 1st week of surgery but the scales didn't move after that. But now they are moving. YEPPIE!!!

I had my first refill on friday July 3,20009. Right after my fill I could fill the restriction. The nurse in Tupelo that did mind was wonder she really knows what she doing. She laid me on this table and had me to lift my head up off the table and she stuck in the needle and put in 1.22cc and drank so water and that was that. Didn't hurt at all. She's wonder & very well trained.

mksw, You was banded May 18th 2009. I was too but can't get a refill until the 2nd of July. Right now I have no restriction and hungry. I did lose 13 lbs the first week and now I've gain 5 of them back and it sucks.

Hi tnwalkersu, I had my lap band done the 18th of May 2009 by Dr Zapata he is so so wonderful. He's with ready4achange. Does Dr Byars still take Mexico patients. I'll need a refill the 1st of July and if you don't mind how much does it cost. Please!!!! Did you get your leak fix? Good luck with it.
