I have the same situation and I have been banded 12 days today. Don't worry you are not the only one. My husband has turned on me since I got banded. He is not supportive or shows he cares. He doesn't even ask how I am feeling. He also eats what he wants. I don't know what its from but he seems like a different person. We are very distant now after the band. I have 3 kids and I had to get up on my feet real quick by the 3rd day.

Hello I was banded on October 5th and I am so hungry. My band is empty according to my doctor. I am sick of eating jello pudding etc. I feel like I want real food... How can I stop my cravings? What can I eat since I am not a soup person. Also should I have a fill on Nov 9th or should I wait a month??

Hi I am 12 days banded and its normal to have diarhea. I had it too. It will go away. Its from all that liquids. Although, I am hungry now. lol

Oh my gosh I am the same way. I got banded on the 5th of October and I am very hungry. My doctor doesn't even allow yogurt/pudding until the second stage. I am a low bmi-er. I only have 50 lbs to lose which I lost 10 pounds this week. Does anyone know if I can start eating some more real food? Would it be a problem? He also wants to do a fill in 4 weeks

I am 7 days post op and I am so hungry. I am still on the liquid diet. When can I start eating real food? I'm afraid I will get stuck when I start eating? Can you give me suggestions as to what I can eat? Thanks

Hi, I'm 36 years old too and I just got banded October 5th. I only have 50 pounds to lose. I was worried about my port showing since my brother in laws shows so bad it sticks out. My doctor placed the realize band and I can't even see or feel the port. I don't even know were it is. The band should be replaced every 10 years or so. Just like breast implants. Its not a easy solution specially the first 3 weeks of surgery. I am still on liquids and I crave food all day. I miss eating real food.

I am also going to be banded on October 5th. I have anxiety too and I always think the worse. I am so nervous today. I am also wondering what ifs you know. But four years ago when I lost 70 pounds my anxiety/panic attacks disappeared. Unfortunately I gained all the weight back and I have the same problem. I am hoping when I lose the weight the anxiety will go away..

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at Cedar Sinai and I am so scared I still want to know what to expect. Ive had 3 c-sections and a tummy tuck but I have never been this afraid. I would like some encouragement if went through the same thing. Also I would like to know what to expect tomorrow??

Hello, I am scheduled to have my surgery in one day and I am very nervous. My stomach is tight because I have had tummy tuck 5 years ago. But I gained alot of weight after. Has anyone had a tummy tuck before they had a lapband? My surgeon says its okay. But I want to know if anyone has experienced this. Also how would they expand my stomach when they fill it with air at the time of surgery would it be a problem?
