Today is my 2 month post op! Went for my check up lost a total of 32pounds! I'm sooooo happy! I'm wearing some capris today that I haven't fit into for the last two years. Going to knotts berry farm next month so I feel more confident I'll fit too! I'm having a pool party this Saturday and feel great!!!!

I'm post op two months on Monday! I had surgery on may 9th. Haven't gotten a fill yet! I had the lap band with plication done so it doesn't involve a lot of fills because I'm terrified of needles in my stomach. I've lost total of 29 pounds so I'm happy! We will see what my nurse says if I need one or not(yikes) How much cc's do u get on your first fill?

I'm like 2 months post op Monday I had my surgery with plication on may 9th. Hoping I don't get a fill but kind of nervous! I have my appt on Monday the 9th and if I have to get a fill I might go for 1 or 2cc's.

Finally had success yeah!!!!!thanks for ur tips!!!

GOOD LUCK SHY!!!! I was thinking when u were going to get surgery!!! Im feeling better thank goodness. Hope all goes well and quick for u.

Has anyone had constipation? I'm 7 days post op and had none! I took a stool softener on Tuesday night(nothing). Had 1 cube of a chocolate laxative this am at 4am. Hopefully it will work. I will drink more water today. I'm scared, I've never had this problem! Do u think it's because I have been on a liquid diet for 3 1/2 weeks? Pre diet surgery I had no problem! Give me ur advice?

I did mine within months not in one day! Every doctor is different!

Hi, yes I'm still on liquids till Friday. Saturday I will start on mushies finally. Monday was my first official day WITHOUT nausea! Yay!!! I drank my protein good up to 63 grams. Hoping it's the beginning to the great feeling of having this band/plication.(cross fingers)

I'm doing good! Getting hungry but today I finally got 35 grams of protein soooo happy! I'm going to eat some jello and more protein, hoping this is quick. Saturday I start my mushy foods finally! No longer using pain meds only at night to sleep. I do feel like band is up in my chest so when I feel tight I inhale and exhale. It helps

Got banded/plicated yesterday! So feel queesy. Before being banded I would burp cuz I was hungry, but now ugh!!! I can even eat jello or pops. I might try some tea?

I have upset stomach I don't know if it's nausea or stomach acid? I'm burping a lot! Who will know this answer? It might be both huh?

I love it!

Thanks.... Soo nervous lol

Hello!!! Got the call to be at the hospital at 5:15am! (yikes) my turn to start this journey!!!!

I'm sandrie77

I forgot to ask u, u got the band as well or just the plication? Sorry being nosy, hope to recover well!!

Hi phoebster: U just had it. Glad that ur happy. I met some I and patients on Tuesday nd they said they love it. Making my decision easier thanks. I'm going to ace surgery next wed! Nervous as hell!! How long did surgery do u know?

Do u love it? How long have u had the surgery? Any hair loss??

Thanks for ur input makes us the pre-banders excited and can't wait! I think the only thing I'm afraid is hair loss, and going to the OR before going to sleep! (yikes)

Good luck!!!! How are u feeling?

Good luck today!!!
