I agree with you ladies. I have been banded for a year now. (June 8,2011) It was until this last fill I have had a couple of NO NO moments. Before that I could almost eat anything. Granted I gave up bread when I got lap band as person choice.

I love eggs but they don't love the lap band. This is the first time since having the band I feel all the things I am reading. Feeling full, feeling stuck and etc. I was thinking maybe I was too tight when actually It's becuase I have always been eating too much. Because for the first time and months I haven't been hungry after eating. I am really feel full yeah!

Shopping is was my reward... Nice outfit was the best reward.

Congrats! and enjoy the ride....

You have already solved your problem just by anwersing Brenda62 questions. I know person for myself my weight stands still as long as I stand still. When I move my numbrs move. Best the luck to you.

Your story sound like my own. I am three months out and I am tight in the AM but i have no restriCtions at all in the evening. I workout everyday...really everyday. I think that is what's helping me. I am down 31- -33 lbs. But I think what jumpstarted my weight lost was I had to have another surgery not related to lapband on July 27. That was 2 day in the hospital on a healthy heart diet. I think thats helped me to drop the weight.

Thank you... I needed to hear that. We said.

Thanks all. Kelly my goal was to lose 75 lbs I am 5"8.. I work out so hard and to weight myself in see the numbers go up... Oh its hurts my heart. I mean I feel no restriction, I don't want to throw up everthing I eat. But I do want to feels some restriction from this million dollar equipment. LOL

Gaining weight is not an options.

Thanks all... I was just getting use to the weight falling quickly.

I three was banded on June 8th. and when I woke up I felt as if i had an heart attack. That Gas pain was the worst. I had to stay overnight because I couldn't keep nothing down and I was in such pain from the gas. It was in my shoulder and in my chest.

I must agree the hungry pain are coming back and all the liquid food are so sweet I am needing something salty. I cant wait to eat some new.

Well lets do this Banders.

Thanks everybody.

How long have you been off from work? I am a social worker and wondering how much time will I be scheduled off.

Wow... I am scared now!.. Do the pains feel as bad as when you can't fit in a movie theater chair? Or when you have to put your leg on a chair to tie your shoe? These are the pains I am having. If getting the lap band is worst than the over weight pains.... I may need to reconsider. More research needed.

Good Lucck.. and I keep you in my prayers.

Hello,

I just started the process and I don't plan on telling my family or my co-worker either. I don't want to hear all the comments..
