I have had my band for 6 months now and I am still having trouble finding foods to eat. Can you give me some suggestions of what you all eat that "doesn't get stuck". Thank you soooo much for the help!

I go see the Dr. tomorrow. I only had .5 put in but I think I'm gonna have him take it out. I'm just not comfortable right now.

I was fine with everything till just the other day. I can hardly drink liquids now. The "lump" is there all the time. I just don't get it!

So here is the deal. I had a fill on Thursday. I could eat pretty normal to what I have been eating till Monday came along then all of a sudden I feel like I have a lump in my throat. Like I need to swollow all the time. Do I need to have a bit taken out?

Just curious how often you all get fills or how often they let you get fills. I got my first fill on Monday and they are gonna let me get another one on next Thursday. (so a week and a few days)!

Hi All! I'm 5'8" BMI 26.5 240# I go in on this Thursday to do a visit with the Dr. I'm so scared he is gonna tell me I can't do it. I'm sure my BC/BS will not cover it so I will be self pay. Any suggestion I should need before visiting with the Dr? Please help me!

Well here it is! I too have a BMI of 36... somewhat lower. I go to the Dr. next Thursday to see if I'm a candidate for the surgery or not. I am soooo nervous they are gonna tell me no! It's nice reading all of your stories and input on here! 37 yrs old 5'8" 240# BMI 36
