They look great, I was thinking about getting my done. I have had the lipo and tummy tuck June 5th 2012, and my theighs are terrible.

Yes, you are correct the 60s were a great time for some of us. But any way would like to join the group, I got banded in 2010 have had three fills my second was really hard had to have some taken out lost 6 pounds in a week-end just had another one August 16th not as bad but still having fluid coming up I am starting to wonder here. has this happen to anyone before. It is not as bad as the second one a year ago, so I am trying to go with this one.

I am excited for you as well, and know the feeling of being nervous. Good luck

Hi everyone I got my lapband in Oct 24th 2011, I have had three fills the last one on the 11th of May. I have been filling really full, and with the hiccups. Is this normal, last night I just continued burping with some fluids also having a hard time with water. I only got 1cc fill I have lost 35 pounds, but due to a knee replacement have not been able to really work out. knee is much better now so I have started to work out on treadmill water and weights. Could someone please answer this for me, I will call my doctor did't want to be a pain. thanks.....

It is worth it thanks for the support:thumbup:

Well I went to the doctor for my first vist, wow 34 pounds that i have lost. I am so happy, I found some size 18 clothes in my closet and tried them on , they fit. most of my clothes are 22 so you know how that felt. I go back on the 2nd of Dec, I can't wait to see how I have done. I am walking 30 min that's about all I can do at this time and riding a bike for 10 min. let me know how everyone is doing.

That is great with the weight lost:smile: I glad you wrote about the port pain so I will know about this thanks. The gas x really helped me a lot of course I still get the gas but the biggest is gone so far, i have been walk as well i don't know how much i lost yet I am waiting to go to the doc Thurs will report. I can feel the diffance i have tried on some clothes that were too tight and they fit:smile: please keep up the good work and report again in this together thanks...

Wow you are still sore? I am having these craving for real food soft but food.. How much weight have you lost so far? So many questions, I can't wait for my appointment, i have been getting on tread mill every other day. I too am still sore but i thought in a couple of weeks it would stop so now i know it will be sore for awhile. thanks...

I would say to get all the information about the lapband and let your mother read the information. Go online talk with doctors, send off for all the information that you can get to help your mother see and lean about the information. I will say it took a year for me to get from point a- to lapbanding due to the visit getting all the information about the surgery. your mind has to be into this it is a life change.... i did a lot of research as you should do...:sneaky:

You know smelling the food will bother you much the sore stomach and gas will. I have been at my daughters house and she was cooking Breakfast it smelled REAL GOOD, but I did not want it I even looked at the food, I thought about the band slipping and soreness it turned my stomach.... You might need two weeks that what my doctor said, but we are all so different in healing:blush:

you know everyone is so different, how did it go with your banding. I an still sore and it has been one week for me. I think three weeks is fine. I am returning to work on the 29th just a little sore, not as sore. let me know how you feel in a couple of days. I feel great....:sneaky:

I just rested in the bed a couple of days myself, but the gas got to me so do walk around some. It takes me all day to finish my drink as well as water. ya just thinking about that part is hard I see pototoes and gravey.. I am returning to work on the 29 of this month this week..I still take the pain pills when it gets real bad for me just to sleep, and feel a little better when I wake. Just hope the gas is not bad for you...

don't be scared, it is going to be ok. I had just had knee surgery 8/31/2010 so I am healing from both the gas was the hardest part for me and the sorness in the stomach area. You will be fine, and HEALTHY after awhile....:thumbup:

The protein goes down good for me, I have been feeling really good as you say sore in the one area (port) it took me awhile to figure out why I was so sore there. the hardest part for me was the gas...why were you feeling sorry for yourself our life and health is going to be really great when we get past this part..:thumbup:

I am still kinda sore, really still sore I am craving sweets but staying with my liquids. i have not really been hungry, but I keep thinking about the mashed pototoes. I will be going to the Dr on the 4th of Nov. People have said that they see the weight lost in my face. I am really glad that I found this area on line I really needed to talk with others at this point.:thumbup:
