Band 4-11

Rachel412....... How many CC did you get for your first fill? Do you feel more restricted? Does your doctor advise a liquid diet again for a certain period of time. I have my first fill next week and just wondering. We are in the same area but I had my realize at Umass-Worc.. Thanks...

You will not want to go , believe me...I was never in much pain but really exhausted for the first 7-9 days.

Wow, I was not put under for this and it was one of the worse things I ever had...If I knew how bad it was I would of not had the surgery but glad I did...Looks like everyone else was put under...

Hi, I was banded on 4-11. Things are going well. First three days were a little tough. Still have some gas and shoulder and neck pain. I am getting very tired on the liquid diet for 2 weeks. I talked with a few people that have went through this and they said you should start with Mushies within the next few days. I am keeping up with Protein but still tired with little energy. i think I am going to start this week with some hearty Soups and Mashed Pot. I know I have lost weight but I am not going to even check before my 2 week follow up, for a few reason. I don't know if my home scale is accurate and I don't want to get down if I way myself to soon. I hear you about Easter. It is a special holiday for us but other than my immed. household family I am not making it public about the surgery therefore i have made the tough decision to skip Easter this year as I will be "sick" This is tough to do but don't want all the questions on why I am not eating. etc and will make me even stronger with will power for down the road. Good Luck!
