hi i had my op on23rd of feb,couldn't have my infill for 3 months due to the hospitals policy.lost 26lbs very quickly but has now stopped .i'm eventually getting it in may 18th i am so excited.what is pb? is it like indgestion.

will the weight loss speed up once i have the infill, i hope so. feeling a bit of a failiure as i feel old habits creeping back into my life.

help:cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

PB is a very unpleasant thing that stands for basicly burping up something you shouldnt have eaten or ate too fast-it is painful and not nice at all-It happenede with me a piece of pork chop.PB=productive belching.very much like a cat coughing up a hairball.ugh

thanks for explaing.plse excuse my lack of keyboard skills.

does any one go in the chat if so when

Chloe, I know how hard it is to not get discouraged. 26 lbs since Feb 23rd is fantastic! Ask yourself would you have lost 23 lbs in this ammount of time without the band?

ALso you got to remember that you have no Fluid in your band, the band is designed to works it's best when there is fluid in it. An empty band , of course you will see old habits creeping back in, once you start getting your fills you should notice a huge difference. Please do not be let down if you do not notice tons of restriction after just one fill, if it is done in the US, the US doctors tend to be less agressive on their fills then docs in Mexico. It may take 1-3 fills before you notice a huge difference, just remember to eat Protein first, drink lots of Water, chew your food real good and take small bites. I was told during pre fill stage that any weight loss during this time is a bonus. You are not a faliure, you just have no fill, it does get better. Hang in there and pleaselet us know how it goes next week when you get your first fill
