Thanks Mimilou. I am going to see how the next couple days go. But I think you may be right about not getting too tight. I dont want to cause problems that can be avoided. I guess I will see what the doctor says too. Maybe a tiny fill? It seems so hard to decide what's best.

I too bought clothes at H&M, brought them home and the larges are too big. I also fit in the junior size jeans. I can fit into my old favorite pair of Tommy Hilfiger pants. I was able to walk 5 miles and I wasn't even that tired. Being able to leave food on my plate. I love my band! I forgot to add my rings had to be resized down a whole size. :thumbup:

I have been banded since May 25, 2010 and lost 64 lbs so far. I have had 3 fills and each fill has helped so much as far as controlling hunger and continuing weight loss. But this last fill has caused me to really slow down on the scale moving. I am not eating very much, about a cup at lunch and dinner and I have a protein drink for breakfast. I haven't been very hungry and I can go 4 hours or more between meals. I have never been stuck or pb'd. So I don't know if I should get my next fill on Thursday or stay where I am for now. Should I increase my calories? I walk 2-5 miles every other day and I walk all day at work so I don't know if I need to increase my exercise. What would you do? Thanks.

I totally would! I love my lapband! I had surgery May 25, 2010 and down 63 lbs with 38 to go to goal. I am so much healthier and confident about myself. I am doing more things with my kids. My depression is so much better and I am not obsessing about food. I pray every day that I will always have this wonderful band.

I am getting banded Tuesday (the 25th). Not looking forward to that gas or port pain you are all talking about. I am on day 5 of my liquid protein pre-op diet and starving. I can't wait to get to the solid food stage.
