Hi! Don't do what I did...DO NOT EAT A BOILED EGG! I thought it was a good idea...WRONG!!! I had the hiatal repair as well and the egg hurt worse than anything...for about 3 minutes I felt as if a boulder was stuck in my esophagus! I didnt vommit but I sure wanted to...this was on day 10...Today is day 13 for me and I am still working on chewing better and eating slower. But it is a good idea to be intune with your body.

I am 13 days post op. For me the whole process took 1 1/2 months. I opted to postpone surgery a little while due to family emergency. I wouldnt change a thing!!! But as said before it will not change your mind or mouth, but I found once I was off of carbs I don't crave them near as much anymore. I am new here as well and would love to be LBT friends. Keep in touch!

Since banding I get sea sick, car sick, and amusement park ride sick.

I was never like this when I was younger. It has only been since I was banded. It *may* be a coincidence and something that's happened as I get older anyway or it may be band related, but I loathe getting on a boat now and I dont do amusement park rides any more.

I am in the same boat. I have only been banded 12 days, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I set foot in a car I am sick to my stomach! I dont feel it has anything to do with my age. I am a big fan of amusement park rides...and I go on cruises regularly. I hope this passes...And SOON! I hope yours goes away as well...this feeling is not nice!

I am 11 days post op. I don't feel anything. I even tried feeling for my port, but I cant feel that either. I do notice a full feeling very early in a meal. but I dont feel the band.

I was in a very similar situation, I listened at first to what my parents said. But then decided this decision was for me!!! I hope you do the same.
