I'm not sure but sometimes (randomly) I get a sharp throbbing pain from my chest area to my left shoulder/arm, it's pretty strange and very painful. Banded 7/5/2012

How long post op did people start to notice weight coming off of you? I know we are all different, but I figured this would be a positive topic Banded 7/5/2012

Hi neighbor! Lol SPRING, TX here Banded 7/5/2012

Did you take a STD for the lapband procedure? What are your views on it? Banded 7/5/2012

Thanks everyone! By day 6 my problem was pretty much over with Banded 7/5/2012

Lapband.com/register for those who are interested Banded 7/5/2012

So I just got back from my doctor and received the formation to sign up for one. It also works as a medical card I guess you could say.. In case something happened somewhere it would be with our person identification cards. Very cool Banded 7/5/2012

Is there such thing as a lapband restaurant card? Seems like I read somewhere about a card given post op for us bandsters to be able to take to any restaurant and order off the child's menu without paying the adult price as long as we show the card..? Just curious if anyone has heard of this it happened to have one.. Banded 7/5/2012

Great point! I hadn't thought of that.. Now I'm curious lol Banded 7/5/2012

Thank you, Interestingly everything is going down well

Where any of you filled the day of? If so how much? My mom also said that he streesed how well I did in the pre op diet.. Maybe that's why? Not too sure but I will be asking him at my post op appt this week.

Maybe I was still pretty groggy, but after my surgery when I had to do the barium swallow, I asked my surgeon if he put anything in my band, I'm pretty sure I heard 4ccs.. CAN THAT BE RIGHT❔❔❔❔

Banded July 5th!! ðver all a positive experience in Conroe Texas GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
