Kirsten,
Sorry if it seemed that I was rubbin it in. I wasn't. just commenting It has'nt been easy But I think in the long run It will be worth it. I thought it strange that I was not put on pre op diet and tried to cut back anyway. I have a lot of weight to lose.

Kirsten,
Sorry I didn't mean to rub it in. We all have our troubles some more than others. It has not been easy but I think in time it will be worth it.

I had 2 ccs put in after my surgery, but when I went to get a fill on the 4th of august the Doc told me I only had 1/2 cc. he said it might have stayed in port tube or whatever. I was filled with 2 cc's again but I am not real tight. I have lost a total of 30 in 2 months so I am happy.

I have a mid band that was put in on May 29th 2006. I have lost 27 pounds so far but the last few weeks have been almost nothing. I find that I can eat more so I am having a fill in a week. I notice if I am under stress I can't eat without P'bing. Then other days i can eat a full plate. Has anyone had a mid band filled?

Natural Beauty,
Just want to say thanks for the encouragement! I was banded on May 29th 2006 and I have lost 25 lbs. I have been wondering sy some days I can eat and some I can't. I was glad to hear from someone who has had the band for a long time.

Hi Lisa,
I went through the same thing. After researching for about a month I decided I wanted to for my health. I was banded on May 29,have lost 22 lbs and feel so much better!I had heard the negative side of it but decided I would go for it. I don't regret it. Good Luck!

Dr. V has lsot 85 lbs after having surgery himself. He has done thousands also and will give you a choice of what kind of a band,

Hi,
I had my first food attack last night. I was eating grits! I guess I ate too fast and the pain hit. I slimed for at least 3 hours off and on and could not even drink. This morning is better but I am still sore. I have been eating basically anything, bread, rice, chicken with no problem as long as I chew it to death. I am going to be drinking broth today as I feel too restricted.
Good news I lost a few more lbs!

I had a lot of pain from the gas, but everything else well well. I notice if I eat too much I get a backache. has anyone else experienced this? My brother was banded the same day and he gets a backache if he Doesn't eat.
So far I have lost 20 Pounds. I think it is mostly Fluid but I am so glad!

Hi, I am new here and am looking into the lapband surgery. I live in Lafayette, La. The prices in Mexico are much lower, but what about a fill doctor? how hard is it to find one?
Does anyone have a Mid Band?
