  1. :tongue_smilie:iam still happy i did the band even though i went through so much stuff in the last couple mos theres always bad with the good at times and iam sure there will be more but all and all iam pleased to have made this choice for sure ,iam staying positive and looking forward to losing some more when my fill is started again ....:thumbup:i was really scared my band had slid and i was gonna lose it for good if he didnt like what my test was but the way the guy talked who did my test seemed like i had to have time to heal with the saline out after being sick with the flu that i had been sick so long my stomach couldnt heal any .but we are back to normal again ...yeahhhhhhhh
  2. :smile:happy again
    my stomach has finally settled down so i can eat and keep it down been a long time coming guess i will hear from doc about doing a fill again starting back out slowly again to get me back to my sweet spot before i got so sick,,looking forward to it .maybe i can get back to some weight loss again like i should be .. :eek:
  3. :cursing:iam still throwing up after everything doesnt matter what it is if its more then a yogert/or drinking something i have had chic i have had chic noodle soup doesnt matter i throw it up my doc took all the saline out on friday and i go tue for a test to see whats going on i cannot wait to see what it may be i was sick there for a spell with coughing heavy duty throwing up sick with flu iam wondering if the entire belt slipped and what he will or won't do about it surely he won't want to take it out ..any idea's ??????????????????????????? any one els having this ?/ :thumbup:
  4. seen doc today he took out all the saline and i have a test tue to see whats going on in there with my band then he'll decide what and when to do anything els ...a little better tonite but not great i had a small chic wing 2 bites of mashed potatos and got sick again so iam waiting awhile and gonna have some yogert ...till tue test =):tt1:
