Try Vitafusion fiber gummies. They helped me I take them every day. I switched to taking them at night because my stomach gurgles alot with them.

My fill is Tuesday and I am so ready for that! I don't want the Dr. to yell at me for gaining weight. I think I am up 5 lbs. now. The last time I gained with an unfill he was not so nice about it. Kinda scared of what he is going to say. :blushing:

Well I feel great....but can eat anything, I have gained the 3 pounds back. Ready to see the Dr. to get a fill. Why does food have to be soooo good?

Just want to give an update. I have lost 3 pounds since my unfill. Amazing! Hope I keep that way! No restriction at all right now.

I didn't get an option. They said we are emptying your band. I have an appointment on Oct. 24th. But was told to call Monday to see if the Dr. wants to see me sooner. Yesterday morning my hubby told me to get the thing taken out! All you have is problems.

Ok Claire I finally took your advice after I started having heartburn and woke up this am with bad reflux. I called the Dr. first thing when they opened. My Dr. wasn't in or his nurse. I explained what was going on and that I live 2 hours away and needed to be seen today. Long story short the Dr. on call for my Dr. refused to see me. So I pleaded with the nurse and she said she could get the PA to see me today. But couldn't guarantee she would be able to hit my port. Well she hit the right spot and emptied my band. What instant releif. Heartburn was gone by the time I got home. Staying on luquids the rest of today. Already feel better. Thanks so much Claire

productive burp .... not fun:drool:

Right there with all of you. Not hungry but always looking for the one thing to hit the spot. I need help.:smile2:

I finally got restriction In July (10 months out) Had a fill done under Flouro. I have a 14cc band and I am at 10.5cc. Lost 10 pounds right away. Now at a stand still with vomiting and pb'ing. Think I am too tight.

I am a school secretary too. I also have a bathroom close by. I have grabbed the garbage can also. Everyone can hear my stomach gurgle.

Ok so I backed out and didn't call the Dr. today. I actually feel really good today. Did that happen to you all? Feel Ok for a few days and then crappy?:rolleyes2:

I missed the first hour of the show. Was that when the LAP-BAND® contestant was on? I think I saw the girl that was 14 when she had weight loss surgery. I agree way too young! I really like this show....I see myself in so many of the contestants. Makes me cry right along with them. :rolleyes2:

What a great thread. After reading your posts I will call the Dr. for a slight unfill. I have been dealing with Pb'ing and vomiting since July. I will do fine for a while and then all of a sudden start having episodes. Since last Wed. I have vomited 5 times. Today I have heartburn. Like you all I am afraid of losing the restriction. I didn't have restriction until that fill in July under Flouro. When will I ever figure this band out?

Well I haven't lost weight since Aug. I think I am too tight. I have had a lot of pb'ing and vomiting :rolleyes2:. I had heartburn today from a banana! Not sure what to do. I think it's the way I eat. Scared to have some fill taken out. I believe I am at 10 or 10.5. Hope everyone else is doing well. Jamie

schase1026 and Kimberlyann2009...I am right there with you. I have lost 39 lbs. and my 1 year was Sept 4th. I too just want one more bite even when I am uncomfortable. I do take it alot and end of PB'ing or vomiting. I am trying to work on this. When I over eat I don't want to graze or snack between meals. Go figure it's like taking 2 steps forward and 4 back. Hope to figure this out soon. We can do this! Jamie

Congratulations! May you have continued success on your journey.

I've been using Mirlax. Works good :blushing:

Congratulations! Enjoy your twins...what a double blessing.:w00t:

I am also PB'ing and vomiting. It doesn't happen every day...maybe 2 - 3 times a week. I don't do this intentionally. I think I am too tight, but after 10 months with no restriction I am hesitant to call my Dr. I had my last fill under Flouro and don't want this to end up being a waste of time and money. (I had to beg my Dr. to do it under flouro.) I believe slowing down and taking smaller bites help. I also try not to let myself get too hungry. I don't work during the summer and will return on Monday. After meals I get real LOUD and deep hiccups - Anyone have suggestions?

Vikki99 how are things going for you? I finally had the scale move. I am down 6 pounds :biggrin: i am so excited!!!!

I went monthly for fills without fluoro since September, with little or no restriction. I finally convinced my Dr. to give me a fill under fluoro and I had instant restriction. I have lost 6 pound in 2 weeks. I am so glad the scale is moving again. I was at a stand still for at least 7 months.:biggrin:

Same here. They are real loud and hurt like crazy. I am off work for the summer, but am worried about going back and having this problem. It is after every meal. I have discovered I usually don't get them after eating mexican. How weird. Anyone have any suggestions????

Way to Go!!!:thumbup: I hope I will be able to join you soon. Happy Shopping.

Thanks vikki99 Well I discovered I can eat more at night. I used to eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast... now I can barely eat half the bowl. 5oz grilled chicken breast ate 3/4 of it and 3 hours later I started slimming. I need to slow down and take smaller bites. I am not complaining just happy to have restriction. Hope I can finally make it to onederland!:thumbup:
