    so far i hav enot felt much if any difference with the fill... i have not felt restirction at all, i have basically been restricting myself. i cut it off at a point.... actually maybe 3 times i got hiccups an di will attribute that to eating too fast or too much or drinking too fast. nt dr said that most people won't really feel the restriction until the 2nd or 3rd fill.

    MAGNOLIA--

    actually i am supposed to be eating my soft foods or blended... but i ahve been eating real food since day 3 post op... i just make sure i can chew chew chew...

    i felt great until this week... i had lots of extra energy, but this week i feel drained and sometimes nausiated... i got my first fill on tuesday of 1cc i received my fill 4 weeks early because the dr said i was progressing great... fine by me.

    i think i am just over stressed lately... i work fulltime, coach soccer, attend classes and clinicals in the evenings and spare time... not to mention married an d4 children that have to be taken from one event to another and to school etc..... stress i think just worn out...

    have you felt any dpression? i have... i know that sometimes anesthesia can cause depression mostly in women... maybe that is all it is... hopefully it will pass soon.. i am really emotional and let things bother me that normally would just roll off my back. especially at work.. several lco-workers realized this too.

    hope you are doing great~~~

    I still do not feel restriction... he put in 1cc... should i feel it now? he had no trouble finding my port. During my first c section my nerve endings were damaged... i have little to no feeling in my lower abdomen... so i felt very little when he gave my fill.. i felt a small sting... then just him pushing, but no hurting pain.

    I went to see dr Pitt today for my 2 week post op. H esaid I had done great with healing and everything, no complaints with pain, gas, or anything else. He gave me my first fill of 1cc today instead of waiting for my 6 week post op.

    this is just so confusing... but today it was even less... so it is moving again... the nutritionist...yesterday... (that skinny iddy biddy woman) says I should start on my sort of regular foods now... i started on day 3 post op... sylvia knows... i see dr pitt on tuesday....

    Well I Was Suprised When I Went In To See The Nutritionist... I Went In The Afternoon After Eating lunch And So Depressed... The Dr. scale Said Less Than Mine At Hom Ehad Been Saying... Shocker!!! I Came Home Immediately And Re-weighed.. An Dmine Was Lower Too... The Pounds That Were Sneaking Back On Disappeared.. Now I Can Say That I Am Down 6 Pounds From Last Monday.. Whatever!!! I Am Going Stir Crazy Over This.... I Have Had No Complications, I Now Get Hiccups If I Eat Too Much Or Drink Too Fast.. So I Know For Sure To Stop Right Then... I Have Really Been Doing My Own Restricting, Since I Do Not Feel Restriction.. I Know I Have Done Great... I Have To Stop Beating Myself Up Over This...

    I went to my 2 week nutritionist appt today... actually on been 10 days but she wa going to be gone all next week. to my dismay, I had lost more weight. I quit weighing because it had started going back up the last few days. I was getting so totally depressed. I have been eating real food since like day 3 post op... but she told me today to start moving into the real food phase. oh well already there and no problems. Have figured out my limit finally, if I eat too much or drink too fast, I get the hiccups.... better than throwing up or having pain. I hiccup an dI quit.... I see my Dr. on next tuesday.

    bmi i think it was right around 40 bmi.... i had insurance that pays 90%... my banding was on march 12th. i am still feeling so good and have an abundance of energy, but after all the walking i am doing and how little i honestly am eating... i am restricting myself.... cannot see why teh weight is sneaking back on... i know the first 6 weeks is for healing, but this is not fair when you work so hard and then the scale goes the other direction. my post op appt with nutritionist is tomorrow... dr not til next week....

    Yes.... I Was Banded On March 12th.... Just Last Monday... In February Before Surgery I Was Up To 228... Surgery Day I Weighed 218. I Am Getting Depressed.... By Saturday Morning.. 5 Day Post Op I Had Lost 5.4 Pounds Sunday Gained Back .6 Monday An Additional 1 Pound... Today I Think It Was Another 1 Pound..... What Is GOING On??? I Have Not Eaten Much... I Have Been Much More Active Than Before... Even Walked Over 8 Miles On Sunday And This Really Makes Me Mad.

    My Port Is Just To The Upper Right Of My Belly Button. Did You Have Any Pains Or Anything? I Have Not. I Feel My Muscle Strain Around The Port Area For Being Overly Active And Going Right Back To Work Etc....

    Yes, Lets Keep In Touch And Up To Date... I Would Like That Very Much.. So You Are In St Louis Right??? I Am In Jefferson City... What Is Your Goal ? I Am Shooting For 150 But If I Get More Loss That Would Be Great Too. So Have You Had A Fill Yet? I Think My Surgeon Said After 6 Weeks... I Actually Go For My 1st Pre Op Appt Thursday..with The Nutritionist...

    Ok That Is The Same As Laproscopic Then!!1 That Is What I Had.. I Have 5 Small Holes... Healing Good Now.. One Was Larger Than The Others I Guess That Is Where They Went With The Actuall Lapband Piece... Port Is Under That Hole.......... Oh Yes Much Better Than Being Opened Up... Actually I Told My Surgeon That If Something Would Not Work Out Doing It Laproscopically, Then Stop, I Did Not Want To Be Opened Up. Good Thing Everything Went Well.!!!

    DON'T WORRY THEY WILL NOT SEE YOU AS A FELLOW CO-WORKER WHEN YOU ARE IN THERE. THEY HAVE A JOB TO DO AND WILL BE PROFESSIONAL ABOUT IT... AND "HIPPA" IS ON YOUR SIDE.... THEY CAN SAY NOTHING OF WHAT GOES ON WITH YOU AS LONG AS YOU ARE THE PATIENT. BUT STILL, DON'T WORRY. IT WILL BE FINE. BY THE WAY, CONGRATS ON THE NEW JOB AND SURGERY BOTH!! VERSED IS NOT A TRUTH SERUM SO I DON'T THINK YOU WILL SAY ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD NOT NORMALLY SAY. ALTHOUGH I SWEAR I AM BUYING STOCK IN THAT STUFF......IT IS WONDERFUL!

    I TOO HAD TO FREAK OUT OVER A WEEKEND WAITING FOR 6 AM ON MONDAY. MY SURGERY WAS THIS MONDAY. I FREAKED ABOUT DYING AND SOMETHING GOING WRONG. MY PRE OP HAD ME ON LIQUIDS FOR 10 DAYS PRIOR... I CHEATED A LITTLE BUT REALLY TRIED TO STAY GOOD THE DAYS PRIOR AND I FIGURED BECAUSE I CHEATED, SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG. WELL I SURVIVED AND I LOVE IT. I HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY AND I HAVE HAD NO PAINS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AS FOR THE OPERATING ROOM, IN MINE ...HAD TO STRIP DOWN TO EVERYTHING BUT A HOSPITAL GOWN. NO SOCKS NO UNDERWEAR. BUT AFTERWARD WOKE IN RECOVERY THEN PLACED IN A PRIVATE ROOM FOR OBSERVATION UNTIL READY TO GO HOME WITHIN A FEW HOURS. ONCE IN THERE I PUT ON MY MAKE UP AND MY CLOTHES. I HAD TO GET REAL AGAIN AND GET OUT OF HOSPITAL GARB... AFTERWARD MY DIET IS 48 HOURS LIQUID THEN MOVE ON TO MUSHY/SHAKE CONSISTENCY... I KIND OF SKIPPED PHASE TWO... I WENT ON INTO EATING REGULAR FOODS JUST CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW CHEW....MAKE MUSH. I AM NOT STICKING MY NORMAL food IN A BLENDER THEN DRINKING IT.UUUGHH!! I WILL CHEW IT TO DEATH. I FEEL SO MUCH ENERGY. DON'T WORRY, YOU WILL BE JUST FINE...... AND DON'T WORRY.... ABOUT THE HOT DR. IF YOU ARE GIVEN VERSED DURING SURGERY, YOU ARE LIKELY TO TELL HIM EVERYTHING. BEST OF LUCK AND KEEP US INFORMED.
