    No Symptoms ... ?

    I'm 3yrs out as of 1/21. I had an in office emergency unfill, something my dr does not do. I was so afraid my band would slip I insisted. That week my insurance changed and did NOT cover my band. So I went from March 23 2011 empty. Gained 30 pounds I'm going for fluro and possible adjustment if all is ok. I'm freaking out because I am afraid I may have a stretched pouch or my band may not be where it should be or a thousand other possibilities. Are there any symptoms I should be looking for, for any of these things other than I can eat like a horse?
  4. Thank you for complimenting my family.

  5. Is it worth getting done

    any problems

    i`m thinking about it.

    Feeling so much better!!!!!

    I am feeling so much better since my adjustment. I am eating more than I was. that wasn't much. But now I am getting in at least one good meal a day. I have my kids home for Easter break as soon as they go back to school. Next week I will get back on my food journaling and exercise schedule. I feel so much better now that I am not too tight. No headache no chest pain and it does not hurt to breath. I am eating 6 ozs per meal and it feels better than it was before the adjustment. I am 15 pounds away from my goal. Wish me luck reching it. :tongue:

    Omg!! Too tight again!!!!

    I don't know but it is annoying since I have to pay to have it removed as well. I feel like I need a coupon incase I need to get it back at a later date. LOL. I feel so much better thou. Best wishes to you as well. Rorochef.
  9. Hi I read your blog about having to have some removed. It has also happened to me. I do not understand why after 5 months the band just gets tighter? I also had to have some taken out due to acid reflux at night. I noticed you are a chef. I am so interested in cooking now for myself as I am on this journey to healthy eating I was wondering if you have any good recipes that you use that you may be able to share with me? I was banded June 29, 2009 Best wishes on your journey. I may need to get more taken out I am just waiting to see if going slower will help. I asked to be a friend. Thanks again. imaluckydog Kathy

    Well I ended up going to see my surgeon again. Under fluro 6 weeks after having a removal I had to have even more removed. Not much but it was enought to finally feel better. I can finally eat something again. Yogurt had even started to be a problem. I feel much better today, no headache any more and I don't have a tight chest pain in the middle of my chest. I can breath again.
