That is my biggest fear...having my band slip! My doctor told me that if my band slipped I would know it because I would not be able to keep any food down and I would be vomiting all the time.

Foods you eat/don't eat?
WAH.MOM replied to sawyer77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been banded since September 14th, 2010 and have lost 35.5 pounds. I have been filled once and since the fill I can not eat bread or hashbrowns; my doctor told me that forms a plug and gets stuck. I can not eat raw broccoli, but if it is in small pieces I can eat it cooked. I can eat pizza, but only 1 piece versus the 4 or 5 I used to eat. If I go out to eat, I cut my steak in half, eat mashed potatoes with it, as I can not do fries either, same problem as hashbrowns. If I have a casserole I measure a cup and keep it at that portion. So I have to make sure my meat is moist or chew it very very good. Steak is my favorite when dinning out; so that has been no problem for me. However, no matter what I eat, I can not drink anything until about 30 - 60 minutes later or it will all come back up. Unless it is small sips of water. Wonder if anyone else has that issue? -
You look Great! How much weight have you lost since last Thanksgiving 2009? Great photos!

I had to go through a 6 month MD Diet with my doctor before insurance would approve me. I was afraid to loose any weight with the MD diet as then I felt they would deny me. So I lost only 5 pounds in a 6 month period. But after the MD Diet it took a couple of weeks to be approved.

I am doing much better! I am down 21 pounds and had my first "fill" today. Friends are noticing the weight loss which is an added boost of my self esteem! -
I will be banded on September 14th, 2010. I am very anxious, nerveous, and scared! I hope this works for me as I have seen so many wonderful photos that I pray for the same results. I am a mother of two beautiful daughters ages 5 & 7 and I want my energy back to keep up with them. I am on the journey to finding "Me" again! I would love any friends along the way as no one in my family knows about this but my husband. He is so very supportive, but there are others that just "wouldn't get it". Hope we can join the journey together! Good luck everyone!

Hello There! I am doing pretty good! Slowly coming off, I was banded a month ago and have lost only 18 pounds, so that is better then I have ever done before on my own, so this is good! I came on slow, so I am sure its going to take some time. I can eat just about anything so I have to really watch what I do eat. But this lifestyle change has been great! Hope all is well with you!

Hello Lily,
It has been two weeks since the band and for the most part I am doing good. Today is the best I have felt! I have to remember that I have the band and that I can't just gobble down a piece of lunch meat; that was not pleasant today
I also have an infection in one of my incisions, so I go see my surgeon tomorrow about that. I don't want to end up with some type of staff infection, so best have it looked at. That is the only pain I have right now, is from the infected incision; hurts when I bend on that one.
But, I am doing great and looking forward to posting some progress photos in a month! I hope it shows! I'm crossing my fingers! Thanks for the message!
