My name is Carol and I was banded on March 8, 2006. Have lost 70 lbs thus far. I have only had one fill, and I think that is too restrictive as I throw almost everything up. I'm glad that the weight is coming off as I couldn't breathe and could hardly walk from my car to my office without sitting down. I do feel better (100%) due to the loss, but can't imagine that I will not be able to eat anything else ever. I can only eat mashed potatoes - ugh!!! Yikes!. Does anyone else have this issue? I look forward to talking with ya'll.

Welcome to LBT and Band land!

I too am in TX

Sounds to me like you may be too tight, you might wanna have a chat w/ your Dr. I would not like it if I could only eat mash potato's and I love them!

You need to be able to eat proteins (Meat)

Again Welcome!

Congratulations on your weight loss, my fellow Texan! Sounds like you might be a bit too tight, huh? I'm only a few months out; but there's a lot of veterans here who give great suggestions:)

*waving* Hi Divanita, how goes it??? Yeah, Carol, I think you miiiiiiight be just a bit too tight.

Hello from one more Texan! I have to agree, you sound like you are a tad bit too tight. You might go with a small unfill, but discuss it with your doctor and see what he tells you. Good luck, and keep up posted!
