    okay so i know this is a good thing that i havent gained any weight but i find it incredibly strange because i eat more than i should. (dont make judgements..it is my choice) anyway can anyone else eat a lot or in other words eat more than you should be able to and NOT gain weight. i dont get it !

    Okay thank you. How many fills (generally) does a person need to start feeling a significant amount of restriction

    How Many Fills Do I Need?

    angieband replied to angieband's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    When does it get easier? Like how many months after surgery

    I'm going for my 2nd fill tomorrow and I'm curious to know when will I get out of "bandster hell" ? After my last fill nothing changed. I didn't feel full faster or anything. I also gained 5 pounds. Helppp!

    How Many Fills Do I Need?

    angieband replied to angieband's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Thank you! Say tomorrow I get a fill. How long does a personal generally have to wait to get another one?

    I was banded on september 13th. I lost about 14 pounds post op. However the weight loss has stopped and I have literally no restriction or any changes, as if I never even got the surgery. I've been reading that this is common until your first fill. So my question is, is - after the fill will I continue to loose weight? Has anyone else experienced this problem before fills?

    I had the lap band put in a few days ago after wanting this for so long. However, now I am thinking more and more and its getting me scared. I'm having doubts and concerns. Am I always going to "feel" the band in me? Will I be able to eat solid foods? Is it bad to throw up? Can I get pregnant? Will I be able to live my whole life without this band negatively affecting me? Please please someone answer my questions

    long term w/ the lap band???

    angieband replied to angieband's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Thank you all. And yes cindy I did more research humanly possible actually. And I had more of a clue to what it was all about. However I had some questions that just came to my attention,as anyone would after a surgery. And let me re word this.. Could I go through pregnancy with the lap band in me. Obviously now I know the answer. And why did I want the lap band for so long? I think everyone has their own reasons.

    well tomorrows the day!!

    angieband replied to angieband's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    The hospital totally screwed me. I was supposed to go in at 1130am..didn't go in until 8pm! Today I'm a little dizzy still but my stomach is healing pretty well.

    I had surgery tuesday night. I'm not in that much pain stomach wise (well its tolerable) anyway I feel like I'm going to throw up and I'm dizzy. My doctor said its most likely from the meds. How long is this feeling going to last? Everyones telling me by the third or fourth day I won't be feeling this lousy. Is that true?
  20. angieband
    Thank you I can't take it anymore

    Hello, I had my surgery on tuesday. I am showering today for the first time since. I was wondering, what would feel more soothing and less hurtful on my incisions? A hot shower or a cold one? Thank you!
