Banderina

I just got.my first fill..4cc..and I can barely swallow spit!!...Im giving it til monday..if it doesnt improve im gettn some taken out..atleast 1cc..this is not a good feeling!

Last night sleeping was rough..major discomfort trying to sleep on my side..woke up after afew hours with a dry cough..the foaming is gone..i was able todrink a glass of water slowly..i did feel it..and half of a small cup of premade jello cup..im happy the foaming spit seems gone..but still think im too tight..im gonna give it through today but im gonna call the dr. and tell them see what they say..

Liquids only all day...good luck!

Mum do you have a 10cc band? I got first fill of 4cc today and I think its too much..i cldnt imagine 5cc! Im gonna try n see how it goes tmrrw..

I took a sip..seemed ok..told him i felt it after second sip..got to my car then it started gettn foamy n I was spittn it up..feels like a big gas bubble sittn in my throat..ugh..i hope I didnt mess up my band after that vomiting episode..he said unlikely..his words were it would take alot to make it slip..

He put in 4cc! I drank a sip of water and it seemed ok..alil hard goin down he said I should be fine..now it feels like its sitting there..and like a rock and foamy spit. I have a 10cc band. Hmmm...

What I would do for an ice cold pepsi!

Boy do I feel it!! Feels like a rock stuck in my chest and I keep spitting out foamy saliva..will this pass???

Ric, I wouldnt be able to handle that! Maybe your too tight?

Mara..Did you ask your doc this question? I have no idea.. I dont understand the band with plication..why not just get the sleeve?...how did you decide on that?

Wednesday for me!

Wednesday for me!

Certain things im craving..like frozen pizza..no idea why..and tuna pasta salad..once I get a taste im good..my wt loss has stalled..cant wait for a fill to get me back on track. I was losing half lb to one lb a day before mushies..i wish I never ate mashed potatos..and made better mushy food choices. But food isnt as exciting as it used to be.. I get alot of head hunger..

Im going on wednesday for my first fill at 5 weeks. He told me my band is empty..i dont know if it was "primed" ive been sore ever since vomiting and am concerned I hope its all ok...i have a 10cc band

Thank you for all your insight and advice!

I have no fills yet...so I shld be ok?

Hurt your band? I got a stomach bug and ended up vomitting hard...like heaving..dry heaving..it wasnt pretty...The only thing that helped me was half carbonated ginger ale..only a half glass. I was sore around my sternum for days..Im praying I didnt hurt the band or port or anything! Ugh.

I think a small amount once in awhile is fine. I dont see how that could hurt .. But thats just my opinion..

How many cc's do u have?

This is malpractice!!

I called to move up my appt. They dont want me to do it right before holiday so Im going next Wednesday!

Ever since I started puree and mushy food 4lbs came back and I feel like I can eat whatever I want! Is this lapband hell?

Off to the right above belly button..they put it there now incase you want a tummy tuck..they wont have to move it..

Do you hace a 14cc band or 10cc?

I know people who have failed on Bypass too! Then theres the Bypass to Band people! The Sleeve is just a new method of stomach stapling! Yikes! So far, I love my Band I couldnt have gotten this far without it and I know we are going to take it all the way to goal!
