Does anyone know a great site to get medical tags ? I was told I need one bc I an a lapband patient.

I can still eat all of it. I'm so scared the band isn't working. It makes me depressed.

Yes o I loved it. I "can't feel a difference with the band at all.

Good to know. Ahh this food os amazing still didn't finish half my plate

Yes. I an trying to chew the best I can. I am three months post op and can still eat a good bit. I'm terrified the meat will get stuck. How do u know of u have a slip

I want to eat more than I can. It is amazing

Hibatchi grill is not thr place to go with a lap band

O man that means if mine slips I have to vm pay for it.

Yea I self paid so I don't have insurance and that terrifies me because I hear people talk about band slips all the time

So when you're band slips do you have to pay thousands of dollars again to have it fixed.

I agree I an very upset

Will I feel more restraint with the second fill. I don't feel anything with the first.

No nothing. Not until I got my first fill. Also with the weight I loose I can feel my port more.

I don't know what is happening.i had my first fill two weeks ago and I have been traveling every day since.then. The pain from my port is moderately bad. The pain in my chest is slightly painful. Only after I eat though. My port bothers me almost all the time. Can anyone help me?

I haven't had a fill yet and was banded 5/19 11 and tonight all the sudden I feel terrible. Shaky and sick to my stomach. Is that normal

How do u know if u are completely healed.

Thank you so much for the advice. One more thing, can I go swimming. I know they say not to but I am for wks out.

Thank u. I can't wait.

I was banded on May 19th and my husband and I have an anniversary coming up. Can i drink wine? Will it hurt my lap band? I am super worried but would love a glass of wine to celebrate our lives together. It is our tradition at the same restraunt for 4 years. Please let me know as I am eager to tell him the news. Plus i hear that we get drunk faster. Is this still true even though i have no saline in my band yet? Thanks, Matheny

Omg now I want to stop taking everything and just deal with the pain.

What of banster, and what does it mean?

I only drink water and don't eat much sugar. I just realized I haven't been drinking my protein shakes bc I forgot. I have been so busy with my five kids. Could that be the reason ?

I am three weeks post op and am having seriously bad headaches. Tylenol doesn't help either. Has anyone else had these problems?

I am so glad I read this. I feel awful. Terrible headache. Muscles cramping and can't sleep. I was starting to worry. I will most def be eating more protein.

I thought you had to wait six weeks post opp for your first fill. I am so ready for mine. I am three weeks post surgey and still haven't had a fill.
