Ok, I have another one to put out there. People talk about not feeling
thier port until they lose a lot of their weight. I have felt mine
pretty good sonce a month out from surgery. My question is this....
friday and saturday I was feeling doscomfort for some reason, then
sunday I was exerting a little bit and felt a sharp pain, and since
then the pain is still there. At best it feels like a baseball on my
ribs. When I bend over I end up having to hold my stomach, and it
reminds me of after surgery. It is better today than it was yesterday
thankfully.

It is not major...but it is worrisome..

Hi Debra,

I’ve had the same problem a couple of different times since I’ve been banded.  I can tell you that stress is a huge factor in how tight the band feels when eating/drinking.  I wouldn’t consider getting another fill until your stress level is more manageable at which time you’ll be able to better determine if you’re really tight from that last fill or if it’s just the stress.  I believe the reason you’re not losing much during this time is the fact that you’re not able to consume the amount of calories you normally would.  Your body is probably in starvation mode and doesn’t want to let go of the fat.  That’s my two cents and I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong at all.  Take care!

Subject: [drfoxlapband4u] Question

I have a question! Since my last fill August 8th it seems as if I just have trouble at times getting even liquids to go down. I have lost weight which I am very pleased with, but it is really starting to worry me. I can't even get eggs to go down without a fight! Somedays are good and some are bad. I have noticed if I am under stress I will have a different band each time, it will do weird things? Is something wrong??? Do I need to have this checked? Do I need to come see Dr. Fox?? My weight loss the past 2 weeks has halted and I am scared to death to get another fill to start my weight loss going again. What do I need to do?

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Congrats!! These are the kind of NSV's we all love to see and hear.
You will be out of those new jeans in no time.  I know how that
feeling is to hear someone tell you, you are BEAUTIFUL especially
when its NOT family.  I had a guy tell me that I looked nice outside
of Starbucks the other day and I literally looked behind me and he
said, "Yes, you!"  All I could say was "Thanks" I smiled and went
on, I didn't know what to do.  I haven't had that happen in so long
I forgot what it felt like.

Keep up the great work! I am so proud of you.

Debra,
YOU SO ROCK! I am so excited for you! Congratulations on your
successful weight loss so far. It's always great to have your
efforts validated by the words of "you're beautiful" and the
physical measure of a smaller pair of jeans. Keep up the great work.
You're amazing!
Sincerely,

I am in Dallas now, I grew up in and graduated from Gladewater. My
parents are still there so we try to get there when we can. With
football season we can not go anywhere because my daughter has band
practice every saturday through the end of October. So a little
longer and we can go home again. At least you can go to Gilmer for a
Wal-Mart, that is not TOO terribly far.

Keeping busy is good for not sitting around eating. I am doing good
on that aspect I guess, I no longer need to snack. Just need proper
restriction I guess. When are you in class? I will give you a call
one afternoon to chat.

I have had 2 fills and I do not have any more restriction than I did
after surgery. Of course the first 2 weeks after surgery I ahd
restriction then the swelling went down. =( Bummer.....so I have
been at the same weight since then.

I had the second fill at 2 weeks and a day after the first one, and
for some reason the second one really hurt, when the first one did
not. Now I am leery of going back again.

Hello to All! I think this is wonderful for all of Dr. Foxs current
and future patients. I feel sometimes you get lost in the "shuffle"
of the other groups. Thank you Dr. Fox and his wonderful staff for
this support group as well as for all the wonderful things you have
done for me. I can't believe I am where I am today!!! It just amazes
me!!!

On May 15, 2006 I was banded by Dr. Fox. I weighed in at a whopping
304 lbs. It is now September 24, 2006 and as of this morning I am at
253. That is 51 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had 3 fills, the last
being 1st part of August. I don't want to eat all the time, because
now I have enegry to be out doing other things than eat!

Thanks again for the group! What about the support group meeting I
missed a couple of weekends ago? How did it go? Let me know when you
will be back in Tyler. My daughter-in-law is looking at having this
procedure done and ofcourse I have recommened DR. FOX!!!
