I don't know if it was a defective port, but I also had to get mine removed. my band slipped and was not able to eat for a couple of weeks. I was dehydrated and lost tons of weight. The Dr. Finally said that I had to get it removed. This happened back 11/4/10 and believe it or not. I will be getting it reinstalled 11/17/11 a year later.. it sucks becasue i lost tons of weight and back to where I first started : ( i try to eat well and excersice.. and nothing the weight still keeps on to creap up.. wish me luck and hopt this is the right decision that i am making .. AGAIN....

Congratulations... I get my Band 7/30....so i will be looking out on allot that you have to say.. as for the vitamins. my nutritionist told me to get the Flinstone chewable and as for the Calcium + vitamin D i got the Osteo8 (purple bottle) they were b oth8.99 at walgreens

LIKE I HAVEN'T TRIED TO LOOSE WEIGHT ALL MY LIFE.AT ONE POINT I WAS 50 LBS HEAVIER,AND I DID LOOSE THOSE POUNDS,BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ON THE BALL AGAIN.... I HAVE BEEN A CHUNKY MUNKY FOR YEARS. IT IS FRUSTRATING TO ME WHEN MY FAMILY IS NOT ON MY SIDE. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE FAMILY OR FRIENDS THAT ARE LIKE THAT?

OK, so i had my first shake this morning.. blah!!! it was/is so sweet. it says to add 8-10oz of water... i added 16oz to make it taste a lil better for me,but I have to take them and i will. i also started walking more yesturday, so i am really hoping that i loose some weight before my surgery. i have a question. did you sr give you vitamins to take, so that you don't get stones?

Congratulation!!! I am excited for you. Everything will go great for you. can't wait to see the GREAT results that you are going to have.

I have to start 2 weeks of shakes before my sergury 7/30/09. can any one tell me how they survived.
