  1. It finally passed after a few hours..this was the longest one I have ever had an issue with.
  2. Ate some rice and broccoli for dinner and now its stuck... have vomited several times still fell stuck.its not moving. Any suggestions?
  3. Who did your surgery. I go back in tomorrow to see dr. Lucktong. Not looking forward to what I am going to see when I get on the scales.
  4. Anybody in the Roanoke area still active on this board?? I have been banded for almost 3 years. Having some issues. Hitting a wall need to get back on track.
  5. I have been banded for over 2 years I live in Roanoke VA
  6. I have been banded for 2 years and my back is worse now than it ever has been. I have had 2. Back surgeries since my band and 1 before.
  7. I get pain in my shoulder after eating some times the past few weeks have been bad. Not much helps it, there is a nerve that goes from the stomach to some part of the shoulder not sure of the name right now. It hurts that's for sure!!!
  8. I had several surgeris since band. No fluid was removed but I would not get a fill before or 2-3 weeks after due to swelling
  9. Have been getting left shoulder pain after eating all week. I have had this in the past but do not remember it hurting this bad. Only thing that helps is my TENNS unit. I am 2.5 years out from surgery

    I have not seen any change in the amount of facial hair. I am over 2 years out from my surgery and down 100 pounds!!
  11. 2 years out 100 pounds gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. 250 out of pocket. It hurts!
  13. I had the same issue but it happened during the day and I was able to get into my dr. I also had reflux so bad that for the first few weeks my eating was limited. I did gain a few pounds but did not worry about it. It plus more came off when I started my fills back.
  14. I back into the doctor in the morning to start the fill process over. It's been about 3 weeks since my issue of being to tight and they took all but 2cc out. Hoping they will put in 3cc tomorrow putting me up to 5 cc that is where I have been in the past and notice it starting to help.
  15. My doctor has problems accessing my port due to scar tissue that has formed.i often wonder when he will not be able to get it. My body forms A LOT of scar tissue.
  16. I have had my band for 2years and have lost almost 100 pounds. I am not able to have children due to some other medical issues. I also had an ablation done a few years ago so do not have to worry about my period. 2nd best decision I ever made
  17. Several years ago I had the opportunity to get my medical records from birth to early teens. I was diagnosed as obese at age 3. I have known nothing different .
  18. Doing so much better now. Able to eat anything!! Not liking that to well but still trying to eat foods that I have been so it's not so hard to adjust when I go back for a fill
  19. 20 bags of suguar!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  20. My fills always take a week then they kick in and I think I am to tight when I am not ... Well most of the time. It takes a bit to learn how to eat after each fill. It's also very hard to stop eating when you start to fill satisfied but not full.
  21. I got an unfill on Monday. They took out 5cc!! I had 7 in. Was way to tight. Feeling better but eating A LOT more than I should. Go back in 2 weeks to start back if swelling is better
  22. Mine tilted and then one day I bent over and felt a pop had pain. It went away very fast at another appt for my back I had x-rays done and saw where my port had compleatly filpped!!!! I had surgery soon after to have it placed back. No issues since with it tilting or flipping!
  23. Was able to get into see the PA today she is typically unable to access my port but today we had no other option as my regular dr was doing surgery all day. She did finally get it after a lot of poking and popping scar tissue. She took out 5cc. I had 7 in.feeling so much better. I go back on the 21st to see my dr and may do a small fill at this time. I was down 8 pounds in 3 weeks but not the way I want to loose it!!
