Hello, I have a few questions..comments statements etc lol I have had my band for 18 months.. I have gained 10lbs and I am not where I hope to be. I started out at 337 I weigh 258 as of today. I have I have a 10cc band and once it goes over 5.3 ccs I have major problems.. I have lost all the way down to 245 but then i have to take at the fill which causes me to gain weight. I also know it is my problem for not shoosing the right foods. Do you have any advice for me? You look so great!!!!!!

I started my the same day early that morning and they let when where pad and panties.

My last two fills kicked in two 2 wks later. I was told that stress oculd also be a factor but i have noticed when I get close to my period my bad tightens for whatever reason. uugh

Any one here fron atl

Oh yes I got a fill on 12-28-09 and started feeling the restriction 2 weeks later and actually had to go get an unfill because it was to tight.

Annisversat date 01-21-10 lost 88lbs to date

Is it pain or burning? I am having burning only when I eat or drink. but it eventually fads..and I have no insurance at this time so Im bumbed

what type of meds...im experiencing the same kind of side pain only when I eat or drink its like a burning sensation......the doctor gave me a persciption for prevacid? I think thats the name of it. I dont have any ins so i left it there at the pharmacy like a idiot lol but it was 211.00 cant afford that right now.

the left shoudler pain is normal. Try and walk as much as you can to get that trapped gas moving out of your shoulder. It took off 1 week and 3 days becuase of the shoulder pain i had no stomach pain at all. I was banded last year on the 21st of January. COngrats and you will be fine. Be bless

what kind of symptons do you have when its tight...reflux, burning above the large incision, waking up at night with pb in your mouth? those are all my symptons...Im not sure whats going on. I got a fill in dec 28 and just in the last 2 weeks it feels like it tighten on me along with pms its hard to eat anything.please advise or advice thanks

You all are so encouraging. Be bless

Yes count me in as well. I had my one year annisversary yesterday. Im down 84lbs. Started at 337 cas of today i weigh 253 yeah I want to get to 235 by march 20th my birthday. so right around easter is okay.

How do i get a tracker to post on my user id?

let me know how you do after six months...i had no problems my first 8 months but after that i have been throwing up. I'm finding soup is the only option some days that will stay down, besides liquids and thats some liquids.....

It will be a year on January 21, 2010 so far so good. I am just now starting to experience some side effects: like this burning on the right side of my stomach just below my rib cage. It comes and goes and I believe it may just be some inflamation from pbing and drinking water to fast. Let me know if anyone has experienced this? thanks:sleep:
