  2. Hello, I too had surgery in September. I've noticed that it's getting harder and harder to lose weight, I guess I just need to step it up and restrict myself a bit more. Anyway, I wish you both the best in your journeys!!! : )
  3. Any advice, opinions, etc. would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance Read the latest post please (+1.6cc) : http://glamorousbandster.wordpress.com/
  4. Please don't take this the wrong way, but is a game really that important? I rather get my surgery done.... I just can't imagine re-scheduling such a big and important appointment for a baseball game...

  6. I've noticed a lot of people are having a hard time finding the perfect protein shake. I strongly recommend trying out Super Advanced Whey Protein by Body Fortress. Have any of you tried it? If not, then you should! Best Protein shake out there (imo). Check it out here: http://www.bodyfortress.com/SUPER-ADVANCED-WHEY-PROTEIN-STRAWBERRY They have different flavors but i personally prefer chocolate ... Just thought i'd share Hugs, gabbi <3
  7. Hi Michelle I LOVE LOVE LOVE pickles! Thankfully I've never had a problem eating them <3 . I wish you the best.
  8. I burp all the time and boy does it feel good! It's usually my band's way of telling I've had enough!
  9. -------------------- Hello, I did. Infact my first fill experience was pretty awesome, but the 2nd one was really bad. I was in so much pain
  10. Hi can you guys take a minute and browse my latest blog posts and tell me if that's what you are experiencing... thanks! blog: glamorousbandster.wordpress.com
  11. Hi sweetie, let me tell you that you are def. not alone. My husband and I love to dine and for that reason i had to change my ways, what i do is ask the server to bring me a small plate (the ones that they usually give you for apetizers). I serve myself and eat off that plate and the rest i take home ...

  14. Hi, if i may ask, when were you banded? i too have 6cc's in my 14cc band! Actually I had 7 but i started getting port pain so i had to go back and get an unfill (-1cc). Anyway, how are you feeling? my first fill was awesome, but the 2nd one sucked butt ...infact i'm still experiencing port pain after i eat, so i might have to go back in tomorrow *cries* i hope everything turns out ok.

  23. hello, im back! I requested to see the PA that had done my first fill everything went good. He told me that my port is working perfectly fine and that it looks good too (the port area/skin). I had 1 cc taken out and omg! i feel so much better! thank you so much for your wonderful support hugs to all! thank u thank u thank u thank u! ps. i hope this was what i needed...crossing my fingers the pain doesn't come back >_< if it does (knock on wood) i will have to go back
  24. Hello, I'm sorry to bother you guys... I posted yesterday about my port pain but sadly no one had any advice or words of wisdom for me (0 replies, so sad) ...anyway, i went ahead and looked it up and bumped into this: http://www.ehow.com/facts_5989888_pain-over-lap_band-port.html I'm really scared that may be the case with me. Erosion!? Infection!? omg! why is this happening to me?, i have tried my very best to follow the rules, i really hope that all i need is a slight unfil and not band removal. Has any of you experienced port pain after eating? weird huh? shouldn't it be your band that hurts? .... anyway, i am scheduled at 3:15pm today for an "unfill"...i really hope that is all i need and that they don't find somethin wrong with my band.... please wish me luck. Ps: here is yesterday's post: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/122493-port-pain/page__p__1557613#entry1557613
  25. Hi! I turned 24 in November and I was banded on September 13th 2010
