I am also a lap band failure.. or so I feel like it. I was banded on May 17th 2010 and ONLY lost 50 pounds within the first three months. weight loss has since stopped and I am eating any and EVERYTHING with NO problems. I feel like a failure, I cry at night, and I am still fat.. this was not the way things were suppose to go. I am NOT suppose to end my weight loss at 249 pounds... My fills cost 250.00 a pop and I have not had one in about 5 months. I know that is probably the main reason the weight loss slowed down but seriously I dont even follow any of the guidelines anymore.. the motivation and EVERYTHING is gone. I need help... I really want to be healthy and get rid of this sleep apnea or at least have it less severe..... please someone help me. Food is my life.. I think about it almost all day or when I am eating I'm think about my next meal.... whats a girl to do?? I need some advice, some TLC and some Prayer... I don't want to LOSE this weight battle..... I want to LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!!!!

Hey all its me Chocolate Dream 81. Today was my first fill appt. I was banded on May 17th 2010. I went in a little nervous but not too much. My Dr. came in and told me step by step what he was going to do... he gave me the numbing shot then the big needle went in and he drained it to see how much saline was in there then he put 3 ccs in. I immediately felt my heart flutter and began to have a slight panic attack... wow am I crazy?? I asked him was it normal to feel faint of heart and he told me I was fine, I guess to calm me down. Anyway I sipped the water fine afterwards and left his office... on the way home my mom was driving and I yelled to her to pull over on the side of the freeway so I could get out cause my left arm was tingling and I thought I was having a heart attack... now please remember I am the same girl who had the big ordeal on my surgery morning where I told the surgeon I was not going to go through with it after they had wheeled me in the OR. I don't know if it was my nerves getting the best of me or what but I still feel my heart fluttering every couple hours now.. and I am back home... My mom says its cause I am haivng a panic attack episode and I saw how long the needle was when he was doing the fill when I should have not been looking.. I am NOT sure.... but now I am all worried about going to sleep tonight.. hope I wake up.... geez here we go again...... :tt1::confused::frown::frown: BTW I lost another 10 pounds today at weight in so I have lost a total of 31 total, in a month and a week or so. -

HELLO! I just logged back on... haha, I have been recovering myself. Im SO GLAD your surgery went well, and Im even happier that your mom wouldnt let you back out. Im a week and a half post op, and Im still trying to figure out when Im hungry, or full etc. This pain in my neck/shoulder is driving me NUTS! Its weird because it's not even a true shoulder pain. How much weight have you lost so far? Im down 15 pounds, but I can't tell it in my clothes yet.

Just figured out how to check on you to be sure you went through with surgery. I am so happy you had such a good OR nurse to be your Guardian Angel! It's not a picnic but a year from now we will be laughing at ourselves, although this burping thing is SO unladylike!!!
Hang in there , stick to the rules, even the ones that sound silly, pop those suppliments and you will be HEALTHY and FABULOUS in no time!!!
Blessings!

OK, i feel a lot better now. I felt so discouraged when I heard you lost 22 pounds after being banded! I lost 34 before surgery, the first 40 pounds come off the easiest, it seems like all down hill after that lol !!!

thank you all, I am happy to announce I am down 22 pounds as of a couple days ago. :cursing: -
two pounds before the surgery. I lost that in one day cause he put me on a liquid diet only 1 day prior to my surgery day.

10 days Post op and down 22 POUNDS and feeling GREAT!
