hello All. I was banded 6-26-08 I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some advise or suggestions.My problem is my band seems to like to get stuck alot! some weeks everything is good and sometimes i can barely get water down! i am doing everything my doctor tells me, this morning i couldnt even keep my protein shake down, and then there are days where everything is just fine i am very confused as to why sometimes its good and sometimes its soooooo bad! I do not eat or drink things that i am not suppose to, I have had a total of 4 fills i think i am at 6 cc's but not sure what size my band is all i know is i am tired of not knowing when i will be able to eat or not, or if i will even be able to drink sometimes . PLEASE HELP! thank you

Hey Frenchy!

Glad to see you're still on here....

Hey, call Kahlili and find out which band you have, and what amount you actually have in there.........

Have you told him, specifically, about what you are experiencing? Does he know what is happening with you right now?

Hey head Hunter, its an allergen band and it has 6 cc's at least thats what im told . No he doesnt know i havent told him i have just been assuming that i am doing something wrong

Are you getting at least 64 oz of water (in addition to other fluids) in each day? that's vital, I've learned....

Dehydrated person=tight band (which explains why it can loosen as day goes on and you drink)

And, as always, Restless Monkey has what might be the key for ya!

She is SO right, and on the dehydration issue, people have come back after rehydrating and said that IT was was the answer. So, I would go with that.

People don't really undertsnad HOW important simple Water is to this whole process. In fact, MANY people overeat becuase they think they are Hungry when, in fact, they are actuall THIRSTY.

And if you DO see Khalili and you tell him about it, don't use any big words. Like "band"......

LOL @ "band" I will keep that in mind, I talked to the doctors office this morning and they want me to come in and get a "slight" unfill . my last adjustment was on July 21st and they think it may be a little to light, not sure if i want any taken out though,maybe i can live on liquids and Protein shakes for awhile:bored:
