Hi

my band was filled during surgery 3cc I think. It turned out to be too much , too soon for me. Had a hard time recovering from surgery and Dr had to unfill. Once he did I got use to my band and had a fill about 6-8 wks after surgery. Good luck on your journey : ) I was banded 2 yrs ago and I'm down 100pds.

I think the heat does effect my band. I live in Virginia and it's been so hot and muggy the past couple of weeks. Some days it's hard to keep liquids down.

Has anyone had hernia repair the same time as lap band surgery? Was wondering if it takes longer to recooperate.

I had no idea I had one until I woke up after surgery and the nurse told me. My Dr fixed it with a few stitches and I haven't had any heartburn since. Good luck

Yay !!!!! That's SOOOOO awesome !!!! I have 59 pds to go before I join you.

Hi Everyone. I was banded the last week in May 2011. My starting weight was 293 and now i'm down to 259. I'm not looking for complements but when will people say " Wow ! You've lost weight ! " Maybe the bigger you are , the more weight you must lose for people to notice ?

Thanks

Way to go !!!!!!!! That's awesome !!

Awesome !!! Congrats!! I remember being at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Va and being asked to get off because the bar wouldn't come down enough. I was banded the last week in May 2011 and have lost 34 pds so far. Looking forward to riding roller coasters next spring.

Had my first fill yesterday . 3cc 's . Not very painful at all.
