I have noticed that if do not exercise on a regular basis, five to six times a week, I can not eat. The food will not pass through my esophagus. When I have been working out on a regular basis I can eat anything and pretty much any amount. Does this happen to anyone else? I can not tell if I have actual restriction because it changes so much with my work out schedule. Should I feel restriction in my throat? When I first got the band, before the swelling went down, I felt it in my chest.

Spartan this is the only post of yours I've read and I can tell your a major douche!! Maybe you should re-read the OP's comment and then read yours. It in no way addressed what she was asking for. Whether something is true or not has absolutely nothing to do with whether it is berating. You were berating her.

I got my band on Dec 1st and didn't get filled until yesterday Feb 12th because I was scared I wouldn't be able to eat when I felt that burning urge to binge. Unfortunately all I want to do now is binge. I know bingeing is something that I will have to stop doing but I just can't think of anything else. Working out has not helped and all I am doing is crying. How do you deal with unwanted emotions and how do you stop yourself from bingeing?

Wearing black pantyhouse with a dress is actually in style now. Some girls also wear the sheer beyonce/lady gaga pantyhouse. I do wear the black ones. At target they have some with patterns so they don't like so old fashioned.

I'm so glad I saw this. This has been happening to me and I couldn't figure out why. I guess I need to eat slower. Do you know why the food gets trapped in your esophagus? It starts sometimes before I could possibly have any food in my stomach. I don't have a fill yet and haven't been pb'ing so I just assumed It wasn't from restriction.

I also have a carecredit card but I couldn't use it because my procedure was done outside of the country. Care credit is pretty good because if you Dr. allows you can finance for a period at 0%. I used a cosmeti-credit card. The information was provided to me through my Dr. I decided to have my procedure in Mexico because of the cost. Lots of people are not comfortable with that but it is an option and there are some reputable surgeons. If financing such a large sum is an issue you might want to look at Dr. Kirshenbaum (sp) in Colarado I believe he does the procedure for $9,950.

I recently started on solids and have noticed I gained a couple pounds. I attributed this to the fact that the actual weight of the solid foods I eat is more than the liquids. That may be part of the cause?

I got pretty bored so I was glad I had my cellphone. I was able to surf the web and chat with friends over AIM. I would recommend bringing the computer. I was in and out of sleep so I wouldn't have been able to watch a whole movie.

Carriejess and Hillmama you both look great. I love your blue shirt CJ. I cant wait to let the fashionista in me out and buy clothes like that.

I definitely wasn't trying to bash you. Sorry you felt that way. I haven't dealt with depression before but maybe the band isn't the issue. It seems like it did work for you at one point in time. And I've read around here that you can learn to eat around almost every procedure. Was there anything different/better in your life when you were losing weight? The situation with your boss definitely sucks. Could you go to HR?

I'm a CPA too but I do audits. I'm going to have the same problem coming up this January. Plus I will be traveling quite a bit with my new job. My addiction is TV I watch 5-8 hrs a day. I know I will need to cut some of my TV hrs to get everything I need to done. Will it be a sacrifice? Yes!! but it will be the right decision. Why did your doc say you needed a revision? Did your band slip is it leaking?
