Hello bandsters I started pre op liquid diet on July 6 weighed 338 had surgery on July 19th weighed 324 now today I weighed my self and weigh 304 is this good and I been stuck on 304 for 7 days already I haven't worked out yet and been eating good but having some squirt soda settles my stomach down I know I ain't suppose to drink carbonated but it helps , could this be cause of stuck on 304 of maybe just got to start working out? I believe I have a fill on aug 25 but I'm not sure if they will give me fill how do they go about it? Thanx

Ok well I have my surgeon who performed my lapband surgery on the 19th of this month I have a follow up to remove my staples on the 25 th of this month here's the question is she also my pcp or do I have to pick one from my insurance provider for the fills and aftercare if so what type of aftercare why can't my surgeon do aftercare or is that not her job ? Who will do fills ? I'm lost sorry if I'm sounding dumb or not making sense ! But what does pcp do if he would know anything about after are for lapband I think the surgeon would have the best knowledge??? Help

Thanx for advice it's comforting knowing I have u fellow bandsters on my side 24/7
