I would ask for it also. My Doctor does one before, and one after each fill, it makes me feel better knowing all is well with my band. Let us know how it goes.

I have not had a single bubbly drink in a year, since being banded. I love Coke, so giving it up completely was brutal, but I did it. I just kept picturing the carbonation eating away at my band, I wasn't told that is what it does, that's just where my mind went, LOL!

You are doing great! Congrats! My one year is this week too

Awesome!! congrats! I'm a June 2012 bandster too

Oh it's been a year and I remember that pain, it's awful. What helped me was Gas-X strips, since you can't swallow the big pills, the strips were a lifesaver. I also used ice packs when it got unbearable. Good luck, you'll get through this hump

You look great! Congrats!

You're doing great!! Congrats on your hard work and success!! My 6 month anniversary is tomorrow, I'm down 47 lbs. and I get a fill tomorrow

Congratulations! you're doing great!

Very soon after surgery you've got swelling, water weight and bloat. I didn't see the scale move until a week or more after my surgery. It's early in the healing process, I also didn't have any desire to drink much less eat the first two weeks, I did find that sugar free Popsicles were my friends those first weeks. Get a good accurate scale if you feel like your current one fluctuates too much, my old one was driving me insane (I'm a daily weigher) so I got the awesome Eatsmart Precision Plus...I love that thing

You're doing great! You're at the start of a whole new life and a whole new you! Rock that band!

As much as I HATE exercise I am going to get off my can and do it, and keep doing it. I have a muffing top too...icky thing just won't go away. We'll win the battle though

In two days I will have been banded four months, and I really really really want to be at a 40lb. loss then. I'm putting this out there into the Universe, so you know...it will come true I would need to lose 2.5 lbs. in the next two days...man, that would be so sweet!

Awesome! You're a rock-star!!

There should be a "Holiday Survival" thread we can refer to during those days My must-do is to not have left-overs in the house, once the HoliDAY is over no more such food around me, I don't want to make it a HoliWEEK!

LOL at the previous comment, and also a big AMEN!
