  1. My gas pain was horrible... Just like your yourself I was regretting the surgery I couldn't even function correctly without being in pain it took me almost 4 weeks for the pain to go away but trust me it's worth it...good luck on ur journey!
  2. Thanks for the info...now I'm able to understand more...this process is just harder & more compicated than I thought....I'm really hoping it doesn't take me 6 months....I'm hoping to lose half of my goal weight in 6 months...I hope to feel something soon maybe then I wouldn't feel so disappointed & regretful...
  3. Ok so today I thought was going to be the first time I get a fill but to my surprize they informed me that during surgery they put in 1.5cc & I was never informed of this... my surgery was July 23 & to be honest I haven't felt any restrictions I also have gained weight since then... has anyone else had there band filled during surgery??? I'm just frustraded that they did not tell me... I got a fill today & I'm at 3cc hoping I see some restrictions... Also can someone kinda tell me the purpose of liquid diet after the fill??? My doctor rushed out of the office before I can ask... thanks everyone
