i went for my 4th fill yesterday,gained a whopping 20 lbs,that was 5lbs,each month..As of today im back on the diet,and noticed after drinking my protein shake,that it filled me up,only problem was after i drank it,i had shortness of breath,used a straw and swallowed alot of air,i could not stop belching.scary thing.Anyway..i need the luck,i got to get this extra weight off,as it is actually bothering my left knee.Thnaks all//

i was banded july 27,2011.i lost about 20lbs,and unfortunately,i put it all back on,i became hypoglycemic,which really scares me.I am on my 3rd fill,and have no problems with eating anything.This last week i have been having soreness,on my left side around the band,and when i rub the area,it feels kind of numb?i can not sleep on my right side,because the left side starts to hurt,but if i lay on my back or left side it is fine.The only thing i can think of is,last week i lifted about a 50lb bag of wood shavings,and i pulled something.could i have done something seriously wrong?I can not go back to see my lap band Dr. because,i have a co pay now,and i can not afford it.Any advice,on what could have happened.

I did regret it for the first few days,only because,of the pain,but its been 2 weeks,and i am so happy i had it done.

I was a diabetic in Nov. for about 2 months,that is why i started to dit,by cutting out all carbs,i lost 20 lbs,and went back to the Dr. 2 months later and my numbers came back normal,that is what made me have the lap band,i was scared,i hated taking meds,and checking my blood 4 times a day.As of yesterday i have lost a total of 13 lbs in 2 weeks,and im so happy.Good Luck!! a grand total of 33lbs.

Once they put the mask on me.i was out,its like nothing ever happened.Its pretty fast.Good Luck!!!

i made sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding with skim milk,and mixed in some of my chocolate protein,it was delicious.

I have noticed that my Dr. is not wearing a wedding band,and he's attractive.lol.Just a dream.would be nice though..lol

Motrin is no good for you,they recommend Tylenol.I am 9 days post op and i am still sore on my left side,but it will get better,i thought i was going to have to live with it,but everyday the pain eases up.Good luck!!!
