Like 4 months in I started pulling clumps out in the shower but was told it was normal after weight loss surgery n woukd level out lucky I have thick hair.. but it did stop and no problems for years now

I did one today and sorry to get graphic but aside from it making me nauseous after drinking in it gave me a upset stomach and have had to use the bathroom alot today .. they told me it would be whitish but so us my urine . It's so cloudy it looks white.. has this happen to anyone?

Oh ok good luck this week hope they approve it

Who is your doctor?

Oh ok well hopefully it will work out..

I have the band n had to have it filled multiple time but my best friend had her n she had it for 3 years never filled it lost 100 lbs 1st year and met her goal weight without ever having a fill.. she just recently had it removed because it slipped but yea everyone is diffrent

Same as u.. get stuck alot everyday. Not losing weight.. heartburn.. always always really hungry.. was 180 at my lowest got preggers gave birth at 250 now I'm 240.. n my son's now 3 so havnt had much progress. Hope u get approved for your band.. what doctor r u seeing?

Thanks everuone.i saw my primary he's new so iv never delt with him before . Told me I'm eating to fast yadayada n I said how am I eating to fast with my first bite lol.. whatever he told me liquids for 2 days n it would fix the issue no more throwing up.. iv been down this road 100 times but doctors orders so I did.. he said " no throwing up with the liquid right?" N I said well no its liquid it doesn't get stuck for me to thro it up. Always so first day back on solids stuck. Even my husband doesn't understand how a bite the size of my thumb tha. I puree in my mouth gets stuck. I'm not saying it's every meal but 1-2 times a day I wake up dreading when I get hungry cause food is such a battle.. maybe it's just me but this is noway to live . Getting stuck fearful of what may or may not make u sick. Or having to have a liquid diet .. that's not good at all.. so for my rants I'm just annoyed.. iv had the band for 4 years n this past year has been horrable. My doc said he's gonna do a barium swallow to see if there's any issues than he will give me the referral to a bariatric doctor

Oh ok that's good... good luck at ur appointment n yes please keep me posted u really appreciate that.. what problems r u having with your band?

Oh wow what a pain we good luck on ur journey to a better happier you

Yea I think ur fine

So my weight has stalled n well I'm sure I am part to blame. I can eat way more than I'm supposed to. I can eat like 3 peice of pizza with no problems (shame on me) its rare that I splurge.. on a regular basis I get stuck on the 1st bite about twice a day. I'm only aloud 30min for lunch and I usually get stuck the 1st bite no matter how well I chew and I usually throw it up cause I'm so hungry I'm shaking bad. Than some times I don't get stuck . Usually can't eat any breakfast everything gets stuck. Example lunch is 3 oz chicken salad and yogurt or apple. I eat it n feel fine (if I don't get stuck) than 20 min layer I'm super hungry like stomach pain hungry . I dread eating now when the hunger pains come I get so fustrated like..hmm what's gonna get stuck now

Any one have horizon bcbs of nj and was able to get revision band to sleeve. If so how was the approval process ? Thank u

Ok cause I'm seeing a new doctor ..I have diffrent insurance n I havnt been to a doctor in like 2 yea rs (lack of insurance) but now I have insurance but iv had issues for years.. throw up Dailey get stuck all day my port Jams in my rib cage ..hard to make healthy choices cause I always get stuck ..stopped losing weight and always hungry.. so we I see this new doctor I wonna ask him about the revision to sleeve just wasn't sure if it was a battle or doctors are getting on board because the band is failing alot of people

Wondering for thos who have been banded than got the sleeve if it was a challenge to get ur doctor to make the switch. Was it easy for you to tell your doctor this isn't working please let's go another route. Or did u have to go thru hell to get it out? Thanks

Thanks guys I was 290 when I got the band in 2010 than 180 at my lowest got pregnant . Gave birth at 250 now I'm down to 235 but cany seem to get it off n im always hungry .. I always get stuck . Had a few adjustments but I hate having a Dailey routine of can I eat this or will it get stuck game..

Is ur insurance covering it? Or is it self pay?

Thank u

Iv had the band sense 2010 had a baby sense n have alot a hard time.losing sense I just feel like I made the wrong choice with this band.. When I squat down n lean Over I can taste the air being pushed back up

Did the doctor require u to have major issues to do the switch?. I get stuck with every bite usually have to throw up.my port Jams into my ribs. Weight loss has stalled . Just doesn't feel right either

Hey I currently have the band but hate hate hate it n want to get rid of it always having problems.. can someone tell me what they require that would make me a candidate for revision from band to sleeve?

Has anyone had the band removed had other done like the sleeve or gastric.

In trying to locate a bariatric doctor in my area for adjustments but when I Google all I find is weight loss ads n info on the surgery . how do I find a doctor .. No insurance eather

I have an extreamly busy week so on Sunday I make my lunches for the week. I've become fond of white chicken chili with quinoa .. It freezes nicley too. Anyways can anyone give me a simple recipe with quinoa I don't eat red meat so it would have to be chicken or veggie. And I have to be able to freeze it so lettuce isnt good either thanks guys..

Thanks Karen .. I don't have a support group well non local at least . so I figure I'd come here for some help. I'm gonna try n find something in between to curve my hunger that I don't get stuck on.. I have to to a shake in the am tho cause I can't eat solids . but it won't me 75g now I didn't realize that was to much n ur right the calorie count is to high
