im 27 with 2 small children. I was banded dec 7th 2012 id be happy to chat with you

yes my post op was 3days of clears. 5days of mushies. then start whole foods.

so im 11 days post op and i lost 28lbs pre op. with the liquid diet ect for two weeks. since surgery i have gained 1lb. I feel like i am making good food choices. i stop eating when i am satisifed. im drinking over a gallon of water a day. i walked or bike 2miles a day. if not everyday every other day. My doctor expects me to lose 10 to 16lbs by the time i go back for my first appointment in january on the 14th. I am so concerned i wont make his goal that im considering this lapband thing was a joke. I eat protien. I havent had any carbs. i eat fish and fresh veg. I exercise. He has me going off of a 30g of carbs a day diet. i chew my food. i dont cook in fat. i dont eat out. i jsut dont get it!!! why did i put myself and my family through this much pain and aggervation to be the same!!!! so frustrating!

i have doctor baptista which is off of baymeadows. i had surgery at memorial lol i live in saint marys ga tho....just exit 1 across the ga/fla line.

are you in jacksonville florida??

your a sweetie jeresyshorediva. i hope it goes away soon too. im still excersising im not letting it stop me i walk thru the pain. i dont think id mind the pain so much if i was losing. and im not losing. so i feel like im going thru pain for nothing. its very hard to see the light right now

i called and found a binder i can wear. to help with the ambilical hernia...hopefully that wll help with the port pain also. i gotta do something

even the generic version id only get like 2 doses a bottle. i just dont know. i have a 3yr old and a 8month old who is just leearning to crawl. so me relaxing not bending or stooping is pretty much impossible! sigh

im having alot of pain on my port side. it burns alot and i can hardly move by the end of the day .by day 2 i was on no pain medicine. but on day 8 all of this pain began. im taking the pain medicine every 4 to 5hours like clock work. my doctor recommeded i take Childrens Motrin. but she said take 200ml. 200ml is like 6.7oz! thats more then half a cup. childrens motrin isnt cheap and id msaybe get 2 doses a bottle. any other suggestions? can they cann it in as a prescripton so i can get a big bottle like i do my liquid pain medicine?

yes to 1/2 a cup per meal is what i was told to expect.

i was banded the 7th and i too feel like i could eat whatever.... im making bettr choices on food. and imwatching my portion but sometimes when i look back i feel like i still had more then my 1/2 that im allowed. but never felt "full"

im 9 days post op and my side is so sore and feels like it burns. i dont have a port incision its under my skin about 5in from my belly button. i cant move without pain and imi not losing so all this pain and aggervation is not even paying off!

a week ago today..... the ibprofin seems to of helped but tasted sooo horrible!

i had am umbilical hernia repair during surgery and i was done with only 2 incisions. one in my belly button and one up high just between my breasts to hold my liver during surgery. i am pretty active, im a stay at home mom. i have a 3 and a half yr old and a 8month old. im not sure if it was the laundry or the cleaning up the toys or picking up the baby but i have a horrible burning pain about 3 fingertips to the left of my bellybutton. its random and almost reminds me of a phantom pain like after a c-section. but burns! i took tylonel but no relief. i finally called the doctor around 7 , which i hated to do but i couldnt stand it anymore. he says he thinks i was doing to much and tore the area near my port. i dnt even know where my port is yet! but goodgollymissmolly this is painful. he said for me to take ibrprofin 400mg every six hours with a meal. anybody else have this issue? pain near the port?

i have anthem bcbs and i had to do 3months of supervised
