Hello everyone, ive had my band for 8 months now and have lost 56 lbs. I have 20 more to go to reach my goal. im happy to say that today i bought my first size 10 shorts!!!!! wooopwoo!! keep up the good work everyone!!!!

im happy everything went well. My port hurts once in a while if i bend wrong. But its good to know that its uncomfortable if its placed in the muscle. ive learned to accept the lil bump for now cause im so happy with the new me. ive lost 56lbs. in 8 months. i have 20 more to go and im done.. but i know that eventually i will have to get my port repositioned. im on a 14cc band. and from what i hear is that there is no low profile port for the 14cc bands available yet. im hoping that by the time of my revision it will be available. i have a Tummy Tuck and do not have that much to work with in my tummy that is another reason why my sticks out so much.

my port also sticks out. my doctor say he can place it in the muscle.

Im on a 14cc band, and at 4cc fill. My doctor hand me on 5cc but i has not able to keep anything down, i kept vomiting everything up. Because of the vomiting my potassium droped and now im on potassium med. and feel no restriction after 3pm. i think im over eating now??

i also felt the same way. give it time. im at 8months with 56lbs lost. i didnt notice the weight coming off till 2mo. later. i kept the positive out look of it all and said to myself "Look at least your not gaining weight anymore" i kept telling myself this and im down now 56lbs. ...

Hello, No i dont feel when the food goes down. Your band maybe too tight, you may wanna go and see your doctor to get it unfill a little. I was feeling that and vomiting and just had mine unfill 1cc. Doctor left 4cc in. and im feeling great. still with some restrictions but im able to drink more fluids at one time then prior.

Oh get your potassium checked if your vomiting. It Should be between 3.5-5.5 mine was at 3.1 and i started having heart palmitations with tiredness of course.

I Just had an unfill because i was vomiting and started having trouble sleeping at night; i started waking up vomiting alot of phlem. Withing those 4wks i lost 12lbs which was awesome. My doctor doesnt know why this has happened. He says it may be stress or tiredness. I did notice that it started happening since i lost my last 10lbs. seem like my band got tighters.. but since my unfill of 1cc Ive gained 5lbs. but im now taking ;my Protein Drinks to get myself back in cycle. Has anyone had similar issue that when they lost weight there band got tighter?????:redface:
