It is! Thanks a lot. It is exactly what I'm feeling. Is more like a pressure than painful, but it can hurt a little bit. It's like I want to burp sooooo bad but I can't. Hopefully it will last a couple of day like yours.:nervous

Ok, I have a question Since yesterday I'm having trouble burping, I feel a lot of discomfort, and is hard to burp. Also, I feel like I have a lot of restriction, like the first days post-op. I need to chew, chew and chew. If I don't chew well, it hurts when it goes down. Anyone knows what it could be??? <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Can you belive we were banded the same day and I have to wait till July 2 for my first fill:phanvan :cry :think :faint: I'm soooooo sad:cry

Hey! Cheer up! My first fill is on JULY 2!:faint: And I was banded on April 4.:cry I'll need a lot of cheers when everyone here goes for the first fill, and I still have to wait. I think I'm going to be the last one to get the first fill.:think

I'm sorry I didn't receive the email. I missed the monthly meeting too, the weather was awful that day. I can't beleive I need to wait 90 days for 1st fill:faint: Let me know if you get it sooner, so I can call and ask for one:omg: I was banded the 4th, so imagine I'm sooo ready for that fill.

Hello househuntress, I'm glad to know that you are feeling good:biggrin1: I have a question, How is it that you are getting a fill before the 90 days, that the Doc. says:confused: I need to know, I'm feeling hungry already, but with the doc. I'll have to wait till July 2nd for the first fill:help:

Thanks for the advice!:nervous The gargles that my Dr. prescribed are pretty much that mix that you are saying with something else. I'm feeling much better today:clap2: And for those complaining about having the first fill 5 or 6 weeks after surgery, guess what I just found out today: MY DR. REQUIRES 90 DAYS AFTER SURGERY FOR THE FIRST FILL!:faint: NO EXCEPTIONS:cry :phanvan :eek: :angry :tired Whatever:tired My first fill is schedule for July 2nd. I have no restriction now so imagine then. I guess I'll have to go on a diet:eek:

Ok, I'm sick:sick I had a hard time sleeping last night, I woke up every 2hrs. with pain in my throat and also feeling it very tight. I couldn't go to work today so I went to the doc., and I have a very agressive streph throat:cry He gave me an antibiotic shot on my butt:kiss , and prescribed liquid antibiotic and gargles for the pain. I guess I'm still week from surgery, I went back to work Monday and was already sick yesterday.:tired I can't eat b/c of my throat not my band. Take good care of your self before and after surgery. It might seem a simple proccedure but still is surgery. I'm going to sleep now, I'm sooo tired from last night:notagree

Call your insurance to make sure they cover WLS. Some employers won't include any WL treatment when they get insurance packages for their employees. The only way to know is by calling the insurance and ask if they cover bariatric surgery and make sure they cover the lapband. Also, ask what are the requierments for approval. Some insurance requier 6 month supervised wl program, pshyc. evaluation, nutritionist consults, sleep tests, etc. Then you should attend a few different seminars from Doc. in DFW, there are a lot. Mine is Dr. Carter in Arlington, and so far so good, I really like him and his staff. Go to www.lapbandsolution.com and www.aigb.com Here you can find Docs. in DFW, dates for seminars and a lot of FAQ. Hope this help good luck:D

Heyyyyyyy Laura!!!!! I din't realized that YOU ARE BACK!:clap2: Welcome to bandland:D The pain, the pain:sick it feels like you have a knife in your stomach, I know. You are going to feel better before the week is over, trust me. Walk a lot, rest a lot:notagree Your sore throat will be better by tomorrow. My sore throat is b/c I'm getting sick:sick . I'm going to the doc. tomorrow, I'm afraid that I have strep, so I need to take care of that since I'm still recruparating, I don't want the infection to go in my insicions. I hope you feel better by tomorrow.
