Thank you so much for the reply, I know that everyone's body is different but it helps to get advice from those that have already had fills:-)

I had my first fill on Tuesday and I was on a liquid diet and tired to eat a soft diet on last night and things went wrong, I could not stand up and the pain in my stomach was something I have never experience. I have always been a very very slow eater and have always eaten slow I'm not sure if I'm to tight or should I stay on a liquid diet a little longer. Thank you!

I totally understand your pain I was banded May 9, 2013 @ 9:am and the pain took my by surprise, the pain that your feeling from the gas that was out into your body cavity to creat more room so your Doctor can work in such a small space, the gas is the most painful part of the surgery for as well, it will easy up some as the days pass I still dealing with the pain everyday as well but it's not as bad now it's has moved from my shoulder to my neck and in my side, I pray that you feel better and I pray for a healthy healing. Take your mess and ice that area and lift your arm up and down when you feel the pain, but do both arms this is also a way to toned your arms as well:-) walking helps as well. Remember your body has to Absorb the gas it has no way to go but up. Sent from Ladybug29 iPhone using LapBandTalk

I been going through the something:-( and it hurts like crap, and I don't have Big Breast so that has nothing to do with it, I don't use a heating pad due to heat and my body do Not work, I get to comfortable with heat, so my Chiropractor has me icing it and lifting a 5lb weight to workout that gas that is still in my body. I'm using ice now and working my arm out, hey I look at it like this I'm toning my arms while moving this gas out. Good Luck! Sent from Ladybug29 iPhone using LapBandTalk

It's not that I'm giving up I will NEVER GIVE UP ON MYSELF, I was working out 7 days a week 3 hours or more at gym and had started a Fitness Boot Camp drinking Water like a fish and now I'm not doing any of that, I just feeling like I should have waited I started this Lap Band journey in 2012 and things went pretty fast for me and I'm not feeling myself at all, just feeling really down:-( Sent from Ladybug29 iPhone using LapBandTalk

I was banded on May 9,2013 @9:am on the dot. Im feeling like crap I walk all day to push the gas out, but nothing seems to be working and in not liking the way in I'm feeling, my Doctor had to put extra gas in my abdomen do to it being so flat and tight and I'm feeling every bite of it, I'm us to having a BM everyday due to me being so active and not I'm moving like a snell, I'm a very strong women but this has really broken me and I DON'T LIKE. I haven't been back to work and I know that my patient need me, I'm to the point of asking for a removal. My head hurts all of the time and I DON'T DO good with liquid diet, I will forget to drink and most of all I will force myself to drink something that I once use to LOVE and that was Water, I would drink 96oz or more a day now I'm sipping and not keeping myself dehydrated enough due to cutting back on my amount of WATER. I'm so pissed and will be calling my doctor for a removal, I know that I payed a lot for this but I must look at it like a it's not for me Sent from Ladybug29 iPhone using LapBandTalk

Wow the burp came up it was painful, but it felt so good. Good night to all. Sent from Ladybug29 iPhone using LapBandTalk

Thanks ladies for telling me to use the heating pad, I normally don't do well with a hearing pad and normally us ice, because my body works better with ice but this heating pad, along with the GasX strips, Miralax, walking and following my Post-Op instruction the gas is moving even better now. But I still have not burp yet, but I am passing some great gas. Lol Sent from Ladybug29 iPhone using LapBandTalk

You should call your OBGYN Dr. remember that you weigh in with them once a year. My OBGYN is the one that referred me to have the surgery ask them they have it on file anytime you have gone to a Dr's appointment you can go back and ask them for a copy of your vitals. Good luck.
