  2. Is that possible? I just ate and felt a fluttered sensation and seemed to eat a Lil more than usual and not feel full.. I've felt no pain and this was about 20mins ago..

  9. Post lap band I stated having serious back problems.. Come to find out I have several protrusions in my back. Go see your pcp.. Might need an MRI! Banded 7/5/2012
  10. Have been banded since 7/5/12.. Everyday since then, when I wake up early I suffer extreme nausea.. Pregnancy has been ruled out. So anyway, I guess I'm just wondering if any one else suffers early morning nausea.. Banded 7/5/2012
  11. I had pretty bad gas pains after surgery too! It's pretty common and normal.. Try to Move around as much as you can.. That's your best best to get relief.. And keep taking the gas x.. Try switching up the times you take it. When I was first banded, I Found that if I ate too much I would feel a pain in my chest that would run to my arm.. Pretty bizarre! Good luck to you!

  12. I was banded a few weeks ago and am going through a lot with my back. A ct scan revealed a protrusion in my back, but that location and where my pain is dont match up. Banded 7/5/2012
  13. May I ask a few of his main requirements? Just curious Banded 7/5/2012
  14. So as I sit here and think about it, I am not as educated on the lapband as I had imagined. What is an averge period of time for "routine " fills.. Are they routine? I've assumed that they vary by person but average about once a month? Why not sooner? Please let me know how often (or not) you go for a fill. Banded 7/5/2012
  15. Hmm.. Well the pain seems to move around. Please don't suggest it's gas, my doctor and I have ruled that out already. Banded 7/5/2012
  16. Hello, I am looking to join a support group in the North Houston area including spring, humble, the woodlands and Conroe. If you know of any please let me know! Banded 7/5/2012
