I had an appt today just forgot to ask im not choking but does keep me awake if i dont have tums or milk! Thanks for the input ill call thursday! Im on a very light no fast food ir fried food diet! But i sure dont want a band slippage! Thanks again!

Since surgery i have had bad heart burn is this normal i forgot to ask my surgeon today about it! What are some things i can do ther than tums?

Got my first fill today! Didnt really hurt at all and i was scared! My dr said he was gonna put in 2 cc in my ten cc band! He said he was gonna pull the air out my band then fill it! Come to find out there was already 2 cc in the band! So as of today almost a month out i have 4 cc! I can actually feel water going tru the band and it feels so funny! Let the weight come off!

My insurance was billed 16,500 i paid 175 for the nutritionist but found out i get reimbursed!

I would like * less time spent in a hospital * have one more child * cure my pcos * maintain my chrons * and above all live longer and healthier for my family! They are all i have in this world and the kids are all too familiar with dr offices hospitals and " Vacations" Im not a quitter so dying is not an option! I WILL LIVE!

You never know till you ask i was in the same boat my nutritionist allowd me to skip my soft food stage because i did so well on mushy pureed full liquid i was thrilled and iv found its not easier eating food like i thought lol but im doing good! Good luck

My first caught and pulled off day 6 and wasnt healed all the way scared me on day 9 my dr pulled the rest off! And said all is healing great!

My insurance covered 100 percent of my surgery i had to pay only 200 and its being refunded! Its a good day!

Im pod 19 and had a tamales two fays ago other than heartburn cuz it was a lil spicey i did great with it! My doc says no tortilla or rice ever again!

Ya i knew some but not that itd be this hard! And iv been getting allot of heart burn? I get my first fill on the 6 th

Mine was on my ninth day! Still have some soreness in port area but 9 was my magic wake up and feeling back to normal!

I seem to b hungry every two hours im not filling myself as i was told not to just b content its mainly in the evening my shakes dont even help is this normal 3 weeks post op? Im fighting it and sticking to my diet plan but its hard!

I finally completely got rid of my gas pains about day 8

Im 25 today and ironically down 25 lbs now on solid food as tolerated! And doing great! Im no longer in the what did i do stage and a belt hole tighter! Woohoo!

MY MOM WENT TRU THIS IN THE BEGING AND HER DR TOLD HER THAT SINCE SHE WAS EXERCISING SO MUCH THAT WEIGHT LOSS WASNT GONNA BE FAST BECASUE YOUR BUILDING UP YOUR MUSCLES AND MUSCLES WEIGHTS MORE THAN FAT. SO AS YOUR STRENGTHING YOU ARE LOSING WEIGHT BUT GAINING IT BACK IN MUSCLES.. YOU CAN STILL TALK TO YOUR DR BUT THOUGHT ID SHARE THIS ANYWAY... BEST OF LUCK TO YOU.... SORRY ABOUT THE LINES I CANT GET THEM TO GO AWAY
