That was very helpful. Thank you

I have 9cc in my 14 cc band. No good restriction yet. Doctor says it will come. I didn't realize you can go up to 14 cc because band can stretch. He said I can come in every 2 weeks. I think you have to just wait it out. Everyone has a different stomach

I wasn't assuming. I was answering your question with information I received

Nothing he said just go easy that day. Also doesn' t have strict preop just 2 days clear and then after soft foods on 5th day. He has been banding a while and no one has problems

My doctor doesn't make me go on liquids after fill. I don't understand it

My daughter banded yesterday. Just 2 days of clear fluid. She did fine but in pain. She starts back at college mon. Hope shell be ok

The only thing I would check out in Mexico is the size of the band. They use a lot of 4cc bands which they don't use in the states anymore because of problems. Mine is 14 cc.the companies sell them to Mexico cheap because us doesn't want them.

I feel bloated for a day or 2 after a fill. My bra even feels tight. I still don't have restriction after 4 fills

If you got thru the surgery then you can get throught the fill. What did you mean when you said the surgery was all for nothing because of insur

I eat a lot of chili. I also buy stouffers frozen dinner. The chicken and mashed pot is only 220 calories and I add a vegetable

Possibly if you are laying down. I was lucky I never got nauseous .

Try ordering old navy online. You can get a coat for 20

How do you contact him

I can't private message anyone. I don't know why. Is there anyway to fix it?

B-52 No belly fat! That's wonderful

Also I have a 14cc band with 3 cc in. My surgeon puts the largest in so I imagine this wil take me longer

B-52 wow did you say it all! It's a tool installed that hasn't been activated yet! Now I understand. I did research this for 2 years! I wanted to do this first to support daughter who is getting it in jan. I honestly did not understand that it could take 6 months. at least now I can guide her better when in her first months. But I don't want to be obsessed with weighing and measuring . That's what I did in the past. That's not what I thought I had to do.

I should have read this post before I posted

I am 6 weeks post op feeling no restriction. Why did I get this surgery when everyone on this forum talks about losing all this weight without fills. Most of you are saying its not the band. Then why would you or I have gotten it to just be on a diet. I can diet without band. I am regretting my decision

Ok just heard Sharon Osborne on Howard stern this min. Said she had lapband lost 100 lbs. had it taken out because she thought it was unhealthy . Gained 30 lost it on Atkins . Spokes person for Atkins .

That's righ too. The one sight celebs with lap have it all screwed up.

Do you know why she had it removed?

My daughter decided on lap band

No it was the band. She talked about it several times.
