mine is on the right side just off center it just below a 2 in incision maybe its differant for each doctor or the size of the band mine is a 10 cc band 4 cc fill at surgery day 2 fills since 1 cc each. 6 cc workw very well. line dancer

This part is harder because you are still healing on the inside and swollen of course.I fine something hot inbetween meals helps. At your stage I chose to have Soups cream of chicken was my favorite. This is not a weight loss period its a healing period so dont worry about it right now. I have a 10 cc band and had 4cc at surgery and was hungry also after 2 nd fil I have 6 and it much better now I have problem not getting all my calories and protien in so i am gaining not lossing . i have had a peoblem finding a prptient shake i like. i have been doing powered but cant do it any more. I going toi pre made and its a bit better. i does get better hang in there. line dancer

doctor told me it depends on how much fat is around the area the cc is the length of the band to fit around the area. it doesnt matter your weight we are all differant on the inside. Lne dancer

how do I send it to my email this is too funny line dancer

good fort you I say every meal is a restart, blame doenst serve any purpose. I have not been getting all my cals, or protient in and have gain 3 lbs doesnt deem far but it is a tight rope we walk on. have a great new day line dancer

of course you can what they said goes for me also. line dancer

dont do it...liquids and broth only for a least a week I decied to do 2 cuase it felt better. Dont forget your protient drinks line dancer

doesnt sound like the band gave you these problems but probably made it harder to heal them. GL and good health to you. line dancer

Its not right for everyone doesnt sound like its the band you have an issue with its the mental issues you have that got you here. I hope you get to the bottom of them and have a happy healthy life. Hugs and prays line dancer

popcicale or ice chips is good try that. line dancer

2 mile walk day after boy that woukd have been pushing it for most of us. Doctor usually want to rest for a couple of day your body has been throught a shock and rest is the cure. I was up walk a hour later a little sore but to bad and went home a couple of hours later. good luck line dancer

could be just blotting/gas/air and you are still swollen. getting started is rough and your band has little to no fluid in it yet waiting for the swelling to go. You will let less as the doctor gives you fills and everyone has a differant need. It seems to be about 1/2 of what the band can hold I have a 10 cc band and am now at 6 cc and its just about right. now to worry about the amount you are eatting now as long as it is mushie or liquid what ever you are at. this is a healing time the weight loss will come soon. line dancer

At one tme myheels hurt so bad I couldnt walk much even in the house and I went to the doctor for x-ray and they found heel splints bone fragments it healed in time. I raise them as much as I can, put supports in my shoes, wear good shoes and soak when needed. No sure if this is what you are looking for hope it helps some. I am sure weight loss will make a differance line dancer

Imedicare changed its policy for staying the night the wek I had surgery so I was u walking slowely right after. It was uncomfortable someone has been cuting and moving things around but not bad. Get some gas x and a heating pad as that was my biggest help and sip sip sip everything u can. Make your own broth and a big pot it taste better then can. keeping walking around and each day is better. Good for you doing this for yourself come to the chat room and we will help you every step of the way line dancer

everyone is differant meantaly and physical its hard to be on a change of life program of any kind. Fault is another word we all have heard and has caused some of the weight problem. send pray's and hugs to those who are struggling more then others and keep the ones that movitvate you in your heart. Every bite is healing not only your body but your mind and every meal is a restart on a healthier life. Good luck and prays of support sent your way. line dancer

diet is like any other but I need so much less to feel satified and its not salad every meal (thank God) I am new and still learning how to work with it (Aug 20 2012) I like the fact for me that the bands reminds me to eat slow and chew better because it will cause some pressure between the breast. Also I cant eat to much or it is uncomfortable. I am losing 2 lbs a week so I am happy. ahope that helps line-dancer

I know that feeling that is how I got here. there are no majic words to make it stop. empty the house of the bad food, get a plan, go one meal at a time. see your doctor. Get some tastie things to drink I am enjoying snapple right now and make it a reward for eatting that meal the right way, good portions, chew, chew chew, take the full 20 mintues. pack things you can have when leaving the house water snapple and a quick meal incase you are out longer then you thought you dont want to set yourself up to stop somewhere to eat. Plan for success remeber every meal is a restart--there is no failure get back to exericing like you did before. look a picture righ after you lostt it all. let us know how you are doing we have all been there and now we are togther to help. come to the chat room line dancer

you will be very sorry if u try it at this stage it hurts big time that that be you motavater for now. hang in there the rest of your life is just around the corner. great saying 'nithing taste as good as skinny feels" line dancer

I guess i dont understand what you r saying I am in medicare and got the ok within days of getting all the required work up done which was done by my weight loss clinic. please explain more or maybe you coud look around for more places that do it. stsying in medicaare becuse you have a lapband why would tht be? good luck line dancer

didnt know all that thank God mine must have been ok cuse I didnt do the pre-op and came out with a band. do the diet to make sure u get one to much dollars and stress not to have what you came for. line dancing

Nothing taste as good as skinny feels................great motto think I'll use that one. get some gas x cause you will need it and a heating pad. Make your own broth and lots off it , it feels good and tastes better then canned. enpty your house of the food you have now and shop for the suff you know you need. Get a plan, right it down and keep it handy--there are days you will need more then others. dont lets other tell you who u r or who u want to be come to the chat room for hourly, daily love and advise. line-dancer
