Sooo, I went to my dr, just to follow up since my surgery and when I stepped on that scale I couldn't believe what I saw...I'm down a total of 36 pounds since August!!!! My first fill was supposed to be this week but, got rescheduled for this Thursday... I'm still nervous about the fill, will I be in pain, discomfort?? Can I do normal things like exercise? Myfitnesspal helped me sooo much.. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Sooo, I'm due for a fill next week, and for the past few weeks I've noticed I have been going to the bathroom with diarrhea. Today all I had was a turkey sandwich on a wheat pita (only ate half) tummy started bubbling hours later and I was in the bathroom. I've had nothing else to eat, I ate a sugar free Popsicle??? Is this normal? Is my tummy still adjusting???? I soo want a ginger ale but can't have one!!!! What do I do??? I've went 3 times today...( sorry to be gross)....

Is there any way you can get the RX in liquid form??? Double check and see... So far I'm not having problems taking pills but, I haven't had a fill yet??? See if you can get liquid form... Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

You are so welcome!!!! Good to hear everything is going great!!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I would call the doctor or nurse to make sure that everything is ok. If you take a laxative make sure you take a stool softener, you don't want to strain anything. I didn't go poopy for about 8 days but, my surgeon explained it to me and that I will need a laxative... Call your doctor/nurse.... Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm kind of in the middle, like you they found a hernia and removed it. I feel restriction more like when I drink Water. My first fill is November 28, and I'm sure I won't as much freedom as I do now. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

My cycle has been all wicky wacky since I started this journey. Once the weight is lost things will be on track, but if you still have questions ask your doctor.. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Trust me I am chewing like crazy!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I am a type II diabetic also, I started on metformin then I was told too start insulin. This plus high blood pressure and cholesterol too. Since my surgery ( 10/18) my blood sugars have been stable, I still have to watch what I eat. My cholesterol has improved. Make sure you monitor your blood sugar, take them 4 times a day. Also are you eating anything with sugar or a lot of carbs? If its still an issue there are other options than metformin. Good luck to you!!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

My first full is 11/28, and I'm scared and nervous. What can I expect? Will it hurt, how much pain will I be in? How many cc's will I get??? I'm so nervous right now, will I be able to eat what I'm eating now??? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Same here my first fill is 11/28!!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

@ destynee let me how your fill goes. If anyone is on myfitnesspal I'm Marshawn12, I always need support and encouragement.... Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Thank you!!!! I'm still a little nervous. I have a job fair scheduled to go attend later in the afternoon. Will I be ok to walk around for maybe 30-45 minutes? Or will I be uncomfortable, or just go home and relax for awhile. Does the band size determine how much your full will be??? I love this site, it feels like no matter the question someone is always there and I love and appreciate that!!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Congrats to all of you!!!

I was banded 10/18. I'm healing fine, I have noticed where my port is that my tummy is still a little swollen. How long does it take to return to normal??

Thanks!!!!
