478lbs, as of this morning. :)

My advice: Do what your doctor told you. The moment you stop and veer off of your plan, you'll stop losing and start gaining!!

Best advice is to be prepared and accepting of change. Your life will be different after the band. And once ur able to eat regular food take ur time and chew chew chew. :-)

I had issues with my band on the weekend. Went to Sunrise Hospital, they have a bariatric program. Called other hospitals and the had no idea what I was talking about. Just incase anything ever happens, keep Sunrise in your thoughts.

Got a fill 2 weeks ago and it was too tight. So I got stuck and threw up and it swell and I was in lots of pain. Went to ER at 3am to get an unfill. It instantly gave me relief.

Central Vegas girl here. I was banded in June of '07, but had a lot of trouble and got an unfill a couple of years ago. I gained back everything I'd lost after falling off the wagon, and then a course of steroids for a back injury. I started over from scratch three months ago, and I *think* I'm more or less in my green zone, though it varies day by day. I'm down 28 lbs so far.

Im so sorry to hear u had to go thru this. I know exactly what u went thru. I have a photo of my swollen belly after food gets stuck. I had this happen to me on my lattest fill where it was to tight. It happened while camping and was the worst thing ever. It happened on a sat morning and I couldn't eat or drink anything till monday. By monday I was able to sip tiny amounts of Water but still no food. It took me a full week to be able to get stage 1 foods down. But now im good. My stomach has shrunk so my band has loosened. Im 6 months into my band life and im down 50 pounds. So im happy about that.

Glad to hear your trying this again and finding your groove with it. I've had my share of experiences with my band as well. The Good, bad, and the ugly. Haha but at the end of the day I am so thankful I did it. It has really changed my life. I am down 50 pounds after 6 months and have another 25 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight. i wish The best of luck to you

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
