  1. Hi All, I was banded Jan. 28th 2011. I have lost 40 pounds, (15 pounds pre- op diet.) I got my first fill March 3rd, I have no restriction whatsoever, and I think i have gained 3 to 4 pounds! I have been cheating a little, eating crap and liquids with my meals. I think the lap band really does work but I have to follow the directions for living with a lap band for it to work properly. good luck to everybody. Lori
  2. Hi Carollee, I was banded same day as you, I still have quite a bit of pain and swelling. It is a little worse than I thought it would be. I don't have any nausia just sorness. I'm mostly drinking Water and chicken broth in small sips. Tomorrow I will try some V8 or maybe cream of chicken Soup put through the blender and then strained. Lori
  3. Hi Vicki, I got banded yesterday Friday the 28th. Still pretty sore but able to move around the house alright. Not hungry in the least but cotton mouth real bad, just sipping Water. A friend of mine had this done a month ago, she says the pain goes away after about two days. Like you, looking forward to hearing from other newbies. Lori
