In Long Beach area. Banded Nov 27 2010 lost 54lbs

I got banded 11/27/2010 and in 4 months i've lost 53 lbs. Im so excited with my success. And thats with me not exercising not even one bit. I will be getting a gym membership to motivate myself because i want tosee more lbs falling off.

I actually could only wait for 2 days post op! So it depends on how u feel. Just dont put alot of pressure on stomach (wink wink)

Karina here! From Long beach. Banded on nov 27 by de Madan at beverly hills. So far im on 40lbs after a month of surgery. Hit me up on my email. kfrancocarmona@gmail.com

He was my surgeon on Nov 27 and believe me hes the best. He is very gentle with his pts and he did a great job. Email me if u would like to talk to a recent lapbanster lol. kfrancocarmona@gmail.com

Is it normal that a month and so after surgery i still throw up most of what i eat!!?!?

Hello bandsters....i will be having a house warming party and I was wondering if you guys have any finger food ideas for us bandsters since im always getting stuck.

Carson area here!!! I just got banded nov 27 and im barely new to all this. Im a 23yr old married girl. And im actually available sat and sun after 6pm. So feel free to email me if anything kfrancocarmona@gmail.com

Yay! Well if u ever need anythin here my email kfrancocarmona@gmail.com and let the bandsters stay united lol.

Just got banded 11-27 and just looking to see if theres any other "family" out here on this forum. Me and my wifey would luv to make new friends with my new bandsters hehe

Ive been receivin messages for personal conversations and for chats here on the website but I have trouble since i use it through my iphone, so if you are trying to get ahold of me you can always email me at kfrancocarmona@gmail.com

Thnx guys!

Yup same here 5 days post op and growling like crazy!! But i noticed that it has improved ever since i started takin Gas X strips and i dont have that growling sound as bad. Also i drink alot of liquids now and more often.

Feel kinda of embarrased to ask but I dont think i can ask my DR this, but when is the best time after surgery that i can go back to my normal sex life?

Any bandsters in the Southbay area??

I just did on Nov 27. Did u get banded?

Got banded11/27 and at night i get this slight cough that makes all my abdomen hurt. Will that pain continue??

I had it on Nov 27. But feels like forever. I tried the sugar free jello but it seems to give me alot of gas

How to remove gas/pressure feeling from chest or stomach!??

What can you guys recomend me for my week 1 liquid diet only. Im getting tired of just sipping on water.

Thnks so much lashonda23. I find it so hard to drink even water but i'll get used to it right?

I feel the same way too. I just got banded on the 27th and omg i feel this sharp pain on my left ribs. Dr said it was gas but wow ive never had so much gas pain. Hopefully goes away soon.

Thnk you guys. Is it normal to feel pressure on my left shoulder?? And that it hurts so much to cough or just lay down? What was included in your guys 1 week diet??

@tchaho thank you so much. I barely went today to get my incisions checked and the DR said they are healing fast but like i said before i dont feel good at all. Specially that before surgery i was the type of person that drank 2 bottles of water and now im only able to drink no more than 30ml of water in sips. It kinda frustrates me but hopefully i get to see light at the end of the tunnel.

I just got banded Nov 27th. I feel like crap still, is it normal to feel nauseated just by drinkin a sip of water with my prescribed liquid vicodine?? Please share advice that will help me get through this bc as for now i feel I shouldnt have done this.
