Hello, I have this problem 11 months into it and the best way to stop it fast is have a protien shake every morning and protien snack. I use a protien made for bariatrics and it called unjury.com and i mix it with sugar free pudding some times. Hope this will help you out. rjb

Does any one out there know the warnig signs of band erosion? It would be good for us all to know. Thanks rjb:help:

Does anyone know of a energy/diet pill that is small enough to take with the band. I have tried nano slims but i did not feel a boost in my energy and after working all day i need a boost to go th the gym. thanks rjb

:embarassed:hi, i have not had any other issues and my last fill was in january and its was my 4th fill the first that gave me good restriction. I will make an appointment as soon as possible. I have went from 177 to 180 in amatter of 3 days, i think i maybe because i have not been drinking water. thanks for your info, i am going to start measuring my food by using a small saucer form my meals. I dont want to cause any complications. thanks rjb

:(I have noticed the past month i have been eating more and have ate to much 3 times and i was afraid i may have streached my pouch. how do you guys measure your portions. thanks rjb

Hi, everyone I just wanted to know what where signs or syptoms of band slippage. The past 2 days i have been feeling weak and some nausea for the most of the day. Does this mean somethings wrong,or am i parinoid.:help: Any advice is apperciated, thanks. rjb

Well its spring time and I was wondering if you all are late starters on exercise cause i am just now trying to get more into exercising and it is tough. Does it really improve your weightloss. I was banded aug 24 2006 and had my first fill in oct 2006 with no restriction and here it is march 2007 and have had four fills and only lost 32lbs. 221 to 189 and i am 5 3, is this normal or very slow? I have a 4cc band. Talk to you later .:embarassed: RJB

I have not been on in a while, but congrats on surgery and its just right around the corner:faint: . Are you excited? I think a evenig support group would be an excellent idea. I cant go to dr mallys because i work 7-3 and the weekends. his are held on sats. in the mornig. Good luck with sugery , hope to hear from you. rachel

:clap2: Hi mellove, i have not been online in a while but i just wanted to know how you are doing and how surgery went and when will you get your first fill. So are you ready to drop the pounds and get excited about shopping. I ll see you around and hope everything is just great for you. Hope to see you soon:p . Rachel

Thanks for the encouragement and i do need more water:faint:

Hello everyone, I was banded Aug 25th and I have only lost alomost 20 pounds and I read everywhere how women have lost 40+ pounds in that time I have been exercise 3xs a week for the last month. I started out at 221 now 203 and stuck after 4th fill i typicaly only eat about 600 -900 calories if that idont drink my water though. Anyone have any insight!!!! rjb:mad:

I dident see much of a change in my weight untill the 3rd fill, my bmi was a 39 and i have only lost 18 -20 pounds. It see really hard to get under that 200 mark everyone. my ultimate goal is 120 -130 and i hope i will get there alittle faster than the rate i going now. RJB:eek: :confused: :biggrin1:

Congrats on your surgery approval and your getting banded on valentines day, Wow! Well just let me know when you are ready. I dont know if you have kids but if so they have a daycare no extra cost. See you soon and good luck with surgery. Rachel:)
