  1. I am so proud to day that my mother was banded 3 years ago (with a BMI of 57-59, almost 400lbs). She has dropped an astounding 187lbs and is going to have her Tummy Tuck in the morning... They expect her to be a size 12 when all is said and done... You can do it... The thing to remember is that this is a tool.... Her friend that had G.B. is now looking at being banded over her G.B. because she has stretched her stomach... Good Luck. Shy
  2. I had trouble with most of these items at the beginning but now that I am 1 year out, I have found a rhythm and can eat just about anything except for rice in moderation.... Good luck, take it slow and realize that somedays things will work and some days they wont... Good luck.. Shy
  3. My sister is banded too and she has the same problem... I think there might be something to it. Shy
  4. This is going to sound funny but I have found that if I don't eat something for lunch then I can't keep anything down at dinner time... So no matter how busy I am I force myself to eat (chew) something around lunch time... Weird I know. Shy
  5. Shelby How did you time yourself? My biggest fear of starting to jog is that people will see me... OUT of Breath and red... Shy
  6. My sister and I were banded a little over a year ago and we have both done well. The hard part is we can't really visualize what size we are. I am a size 10/12 but still see myself as a 18/20. My sister had a great idea that everyone should have to walk around with their size marked on them that way we could get a better idea of what size we truly are.. But no way in hell would I agree to wear my size... Shy
  7. What a great website... I have been kicking my self in the ass because I have been doing my 3-6 mile walks with no probelm but jogging has kicked my butt. I felt like a failure but I can follow this plan... Thanks.... Shy
  8. HUGS!!!! SO AMAZING!!!! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
  9. Congrats.... How great.... I have almost the same stats and results.... I have been platued at 173-175ish for about 3 months.... I would love to see your pics because I struggle with the same body image issues...
  10. Ok, so I am 1 year post op and super happy with the band.... I am looking for Dr. Miranda's email because I am having some body/weight image problems. I am hoping that she will be able to give me the expected weight form our pre-op meeting... Currently I am 172lbs, size 10/12 (mostly 12). So if you have her email somewhere can you please post it...
  11. I had a really tight fill about 2 weeks ago and the heartburn is finally what made me get the unfill. The heartburn went away for about 3 days and now it is back... I am not tight and I can eat just about anything now as long as a I chew, chew, chew.... When I had my unfill it was checked under flouro and I was told everything looked great. I would love to hear what OCC says about the heartburn... Please keep us posted.
  12. I had a similar thing the past 2-3 weeks. I am soooo happy that I went in yesterday for a partial unfill. Even though I wasn't PB'ing alot, i honestly wasn't eating well either (soups, cottage cheese, mushies). It has been so great to be able to eath solid protiens again and drink water and protien drinks without pain or the 45mintues for 1 cup of liquids... I finally went in because I was getting Acid Reflux.. Not good.. Shy
  13. My fill doc told me that it is very normal because there is still fat between your stomach and the band and when you loose weight it makes the band looser because there isn't as much fat. Frustrating I know.... It happened to me on my first 3 fills, I would loose 10lbs and then loss of good restriction..... My last fill it hasn't happened yet.... Shy
  14. Why was your band removed??? Slippage???? erosion????
