My nephew's wife told me about this site and it's great. I had Lap Band surgery on May 25, 2010 and so far I've lost 54 pounds. I'm feeling great except that I'm having a hard time getting to the right adjustment. I pretty much feel nauseous all morning even if I don't eat or drink. Is this normal? I had to have 2 cc removed in December because I was too full. I've had 2 fills since then and now I have to be really careful. I usually throw up in the morning. Then I eat very small amounts the rest of the day. I love the weight loss but I sure don't like struggling so hard just to stay hydrated and minimally nourished. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you ever get to the right adjustment??

I believe everyone's body reacts differently after a 'fill.' The more u lose, the looser the band will become. I'm sure your current problem will subside.

Thanks for the encouragement. I didn't realize it would get looser with weight loss. I've lost 6 lbs in 12 days since last adjustment, so I hope I'm getting close to getting more comfortable.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
