Wow Thanks for all the replies! Ok this my sound dumb, but what do you all mean about swollen? What part? I still have sum gas pains but it hasn't even been 24hrs since surgery, whn should that go away? I'm going to follow the diet to the T cause I've read horror stories of food getting stuck? I would freak out! Thanks again everyone and I love seeing all the weight loss tickers, I'll have to figure out how to add one

I notice we wnt to the same place to have surgery bit different doctors. i went in for a fill on wednesday and learned i had 3cc in my band, but a i told the nursei always felt as though something was in the band because i have always felt tight, however she went ahead and put another cc in and wow. dont think i will get a fill with my next visit, this is too uncomfortable.

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and i am wondering if anyone has experience pain in the right side around the liver area?

Hello all! I was banded 7/13/11 and I'm down 20 lbs since surgery and now im stuck here! I'm not upset about it though because 20 lbs in about 3 weeks is FAST! So my body is surely holding on to everything now for fear I'm starving myself, lmao! Everyone stay encouraged and realize that we didn't gain wait over night, so we won't lose it overnight either.

Good luck guys and gals!

i am 2 weeks post op and am a little sxared i have lost 20 pound since surgery and 10 pouds pre op. is that normal?

Hi,

I have just had the lap band surgery on 7/29/11...Every since they have woken me up I have had this chest pain in the middle of my chest. My girlfriend had the same surgery back in may and she said she didn't have the surgery. She believes its because I didn't go cold turkey with the smoking. Anyone else who had had this surgery have had these pains in their chest? Its now day 3 and the pain in my chest is still there. Even after I take the pain Syrup the pain only subdues for about 2-3hr's then back to hurting again. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have the same type of pain and at time it is excrutiating. Gas X chewable tabs help but only for a little while. The pain syrup is very short acting. i can sleep only for 1 -2 hours. people suggest walking and i have done that with little to no relief.

this is my 3rd day post-op and the gas is flowing. the only issue i am having is my abdomen is tender and that is expected. other than that i am doing good.
