Was banded10/31/12 and was down almost 40 lbs then in last week i have gained 4 lbs i have been careful with eating however i am not perfect. I am so sad that i have started to put weight back on. i have bronchitis and i am on antibiotics. I cant increase working out as i can barely breathe since im sick. What should i do. I do not feel content like i did intially i have had one fill on 12/11/12. My next fill is 1/9/13 i was only down 4lbs since my fill and have now put it all back on. Please help any words of advise or encouragement would be great!

Was banded 10/31/12 i have 34 lbs since surgery & 44 total including preop.. Where are you at with your weight loss. Do u have restriction? I dont have restiction.

HAs anyone else had chest pain after a fill. It feels like a tightness/ pressure in my chest on the left side its constant since my fill. I can eat and drink just fine with no change in the pain

He is just trying to make more money. Dont do it!

I was told not till 2 weeks at least because your incisions are not healed

I called the dr because mine itched so bad then i got hives.. They set Get benadryl or cortisone cream i put it on everyday a few times a day. It helped a ton & then stoped itching

I was a size 26/28 before surgery on 10/31/12 today i had to go buy 2 pairs of jeans and 20's fit perfectly not to tight but not loose and thank god i got 2 pairs because my old ones were huge in the but & legs. I am down 30 lbs started at 286. But it was nice to get into smaller jeans so fast... Down 6 pants sizes omg.....

Had surgery 10-31-12 and have loosing alot of hair recently. I am getting my Protein in i take Vitamins. Any ideas why? Its not your standard loss its alot all the time!

286 surgery 276 now 258

Hat was ur starting weight . Surgery weight & current weight?

I Have not lost any weight in 6 days. I am following my dr orders and have increased excercise. Any sugguestions nothing in my band yet. First fill 12/11/12. I have lost 26 lbs pre and post total

Use unflavored Protein Powder and mix with make at home Jello or add to crystal light or add to pudding

Id u get pregnant? How long did u try before lapband... Or after lapband before success?

I did it too. I was tired and in a little pain. The first day was the worst

Any more sugguestions

I believe on pureed for 4 weeks

PLease give me as many ideas of pureed items as possible. I can start pureed on sunday and i am gonna start cooking & freezing.

Y dr does not fill the band at all during surgery. My first fill is not till 6 weeks. When were your fills?

I used a heating blanket laid on it. The heat pad on the front. Then would have my husband rub my back it help huge.

Im down 23lbs pre to post

Im dow 13 lbs since 10/31 where are other 10/31 bandster at?

The dr advised it could be fron adhesive or yeast build up uder the bandages recomended clean with an astringent and using bendryl gel. If it does not clear up get anti fungle powder and dap for 2 days till i see the dr. It appears i could be alergic to the steri strips another incision is red now... Well at least its not infected

But the other 3 incisions are fine.
