I wish I would of known this Sandy.. he put the port back in original area. So you were advise not to do certain exercises? my doc is fairly new to this and did not know himself. Do you think I am being selfish if I ask to be compensated for the amount of time I missed work? I missed close to 7 days. also had several co pays when the pain started went to my urgent care, primary dr.then obgyn prior to finding out it was the band. I feel sooooo much better. a little sore where incisions at. How much weight have you lost? when were you banded?

Had surgery doc reconnected port. he said it was due to using the torso machine ??? pretty upset because I was NEVER told I had limitations. Doc advised he's informing ALL his patiences not to do this type of exercise.

Doc can't give me an answer as to why my port disconnected. :smile2:

My port disconnected and the tube is in my pelvic area. surgery tomorrow. Anyone else experience this? extremely painful. :smile2:

I had my port disconnected very painful. I did contact johnson @ johnson they filed a complaint. I'm schedule for surgery tomorrow. Missed lots of work I would like compensation for days I missed work. I was never told this could happen:cursing:

Just found out my port disconnected and is floating around in my pelvic area anyone else had this problem. Surgery set for next week:confused:

does anyone know why I get stuck at times with the same food, and at times don't get stuck. also how do u get un stuck?

how do you get unstuck? also, why is it at times I get stuck with foods I normally don't get stuck with?

This is Arellano8.. I ride the treadmill for 30 min. lift 5 lb weights as i'm riding. Should I lower my calorie intake?

Wow 17 lbs !!! so I should not increase my workout? or cut calories? what's your total loss? were both from Calif. I live in Redlands. Who did your surgery?

I'm sure I'm at a plateu..any advise on how to break it. I am eating 1.000 -1.200 calories a day and working out 30 min. 3-5 days a week. HELP!!! I feel restriction.

So how much weight have you lost? Have you ask your doctor?

I'm experiencing the same thing. This is my 3rd fill. 1st one a little restriction, 2nd nothing and 3rd like a yoyo ride. the 3rd fill has been better but it gets frustrating because one day I get full off 2-3 spoonfuls and the next day I can eat a whole bowl and feel a little restriction. I am losing about 1-2 lbs a week.:thumbdown:

My doc. is new with the lapband..he normally does bypass gastric.. I thought drinking w/meals would help me lose weight quicker.. thanks

I was banded 2 months ago and lost 20lbs... for the last 2 1/2 weeks have lost NOTHING. I've had 2 fills. I can relate to you.. as i'm reading the reply's I notice your being advise not to drink with your meal...why is that? does that include water?
