***please dont read if you have a weak stomach*** Im in so much pain, last night I tried to vomit but to no avail. Dry heaving and frothy bile but no contents. I called my surgeon and he said if it got worse that he would remove some Fluid. I wish i was told that this could cause issues. It hurts so bad i want to crawl up and die. Anyone else experience this?

Hi All, just in the last 3 months I have become Lactose intolerant. Would you know if this is normal?

I have been banded a lil over a year now and down a lil over 100lbs and I have noticed that my sex drive is way up there. What happend? I have always had a good drive but this is crazy. To be blunt, Im ready to go anytime and anywhere. WHY and is this hapening to you? it can be anoying while at work. Is this normal?

I'm going to say that is normal and the weight should start going down more easliy after a few weeks, I have noticed the same thing with myself. I work my butt of this week and ate the typical diet with no cheating and BAM I gained. I weighed this morning and I was so pissed off I wanted to punch a wall . But I had to remember that it's not about the scale, it's about the inches. So chin up it should drop soon just keep up the good work.

Chin up! It's all ok, just remember that it's going to happen, I myself gained 12 pounds in 3 months after doing so well for almost 2 years. Just get back on track and push back harder, dont let it get ya down cause if ya do. Well we know the outcome. Stay Strong! :)

im so frustrated too, I have lost 100 pounds and and in the past week and a half put back on 5lbs, am i being to hard on myself, I dont know but it is depressing me.

Its a funny thing I have been going through the same thing, some foods that I eat one day may not be good the next. The one thing that surely does not work is anything corn and stringy like beef. There are some days where anything is good so I do believe the band is a fikle thing. And yes stress does have a big factor with the band as i notice when im stressed that day, than im sure to have it all come back up.

mornings I cant get much of anything down, I usualy just stick to a protien shake in the morning or it just comes back up. Around lunch time im good to have my weight watchers food and that seems to be ok. no probs there. I also seem to have problems with and no longer eat tortilas, tamales, popcorn, over cooked beef, muffins, potato skins and most fruit.

It's nice to hear all this positive information it helps me so much, I have been feeling the same way and now have come to the understanding that its ok not to feel stuffed. I was thinking something was wrong but i do think i need a lil more cc's.

I feel like a TRAIN JUST TOOK ME FOR A DRAG FOR A FEW BLOCKS, sore as crazy a little more than last time so kinda weird. I just want to get to my goal and not have to worry about this anymore. Im much closer now. last weigh in was 300 :crying: after a week or two i can go work off the rest. I cant wait.

Ok im back from the revision, it all went good and im back to work. I asked my Doc why it flipped and he is saying that the type of band i got (realize) tends to flip. So he went in and said THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH INTERNAL SCARING TO HOLD IT IN POSITION oops caps. So he placed gauze inside to promote scaring and installed a new port w/ a small fill I barely feel any restriction which sucks. So here i am sore and bruised.

Thursday 10/22/09 11am fountain Valley Hospital. Having revision surgery due to a flipped port. Im not happy about it at all but i'll deal with it. Im nervous again and having crazy dreams I think from the stress. Im fitting into my clothes nice still and still loosing slowly. all will be fine. :wink2:

Thank you all so much as it had me prety depressed but after reading this I dont feel to bad. Thank you all!

Sorry, my Port flipped.

Im am so sad as today after a floroscopy my doctor has determined that the port that he installed in June with no fill is flipped. know I have to go back under tghe knife for a revision surgery. He said the hooks that hold it in place are upside down. Has this happend to you and what had to happen to you to fix it? How long before you went back to work? Im bummed. On a good note, I have lost 65 pounds to date and the funny thing is that since i have no restriction, its been all on my own that i have been loosing.... :laugh:

Holy Crap my fill was on Monday and the same damn thing happend to me!!!! Exactly but i did not go to the hospital but Im still sore and have pain in my shoulder. So to answer your question yes its happening to me know and I hope hope hope my port is not fliped and they where just in the wrong spot. Where did you have your band done?

Damn I went in today and after being poked for about 20 mins and serriously 30 sticks later... nothing!!! they cant find the damn hole !@!@#$ Now I have to go get xrayed to see what happend and hope that my port didnt flip. Im still losing weight but its all me doing it and not the band. theres a kick in the ass. So here i go the P.A. tells me the worst case is the have to operate AGAIN!!!

Here is what I have learned about me, PROTIEN PROTIEN PROTIEN and some calcium! I have learned the key to succsesfull weight loss with myself is protien. I dont nesscearly need food to keep me going but i do need protiene and calcium along with a good multi-vitamin. I have tried to go with out my protien and i have noticed a huge difference and its amazing the energy i get with just protien and proper hydration and vitamins. so here it is in a nutshell. 1. PROTIEN 2. Calcium 3. Water or my fav Crystal Light 4. Movement (excersie or walk) 5. food only if you have true hunger not head hunger
