I'M FEELING BETTER. THANKS. I DID HAVE 2CC REMOVED AND THAT SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED ALOT. I'M STILL NOT LOSING, GO UP AND DOWN THE SAME POUNDS OVER AND OVER. I'M NOW 6 MONTHS OUT AND HAVE YET TO LOSE MY FIRST 10 POUNDS. I'VE JUST SIGNED UP AT A GYM WITH HELP OF A TRAINER, HOPE THIS DOES THE TRICK. IF NOT I'M GOING TO PETITION CONGRESS TO DECLARE FAT BEAUTIFUL AND DESIREABLE!! LOL! HOPE ALL GOES WELL FOR YOU.:blushing:

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR APPOINTMENT. i SPENT ANOTHER NIGHT IN THE ER LAST THURSDAY-FRIDAY. EVERYTHING FELT STUCK, COULDN'T EAT ALL DAY OR DRINK MUCH. IN ALL NOTHING WAS DONE EXCEPT LABS AND X-RAY. THEN I SAW DR. SMOLIK WHO THOUGHT I JUST HAD SOMETHING STUCK IN THE BAND AND HAD ME DRINK WATER AND THAT WAS IT. I'M FEELING SOME BETTER BUT STILL AM HAVING TROUBLE GETTING MY WATER AND PROTEIN IN. I THINK AFTER SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND A SLEEP STUDY MY BI-PAP IS NOT FIGHTING MY BAND. I'VE NOW LOST 7 POUND AFTER NEARLY 5 MONTHS! IT HAS CHANGED MY THOUGHTS OF EATING FROM OH GOODY!! TO OH NO!! :smile:

HI! I WAS BANDED 2-24-09 @ MERCY CAPITOL BY DR. SMOLIK W/ DR. CAHALAN ASST. I HAVE LOST 3 POUNDS. I HAVE A LARGE BAND, 14 CC. FIRST FILL 5 CC, NO DIFFERENCE. SECOND FILL 2CC, TOTAL 7CC, NO DIFFERENCE. THIRD FILL 2CC, TOTAL 9 CC, NO DIFFERENCE. FOURTH FILL 2CC, TOTAL 11 CC, BIG DIFFERENCE! AFTER MORNING OF 11 TH DAY WAS ADMITTED TO MERCY, DIFFICULTY BREATHING, SLEEPING WITH BIPAP, AND KEEPING ANYHING DOWN. 1CC REMOVED. FELT MUCH MUCH BETTER INSTANTLY. HOPING NOW TO BE IN MY "SWEET SPOT". IT'S BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING UP TILL NOW.:tongue_smilie:
