I have a lot of restriction, somedays I'm lucky to be able to even eat a full cup if food at meals but then other days I feel hungry between meals, just unsure what I should do, chance it for a while or get a fill and chance having to get unfilled!!

Is it normal to not have any clue how much is in your band or how much they fill it with each time..I have never been told any if this information!!

Wow Fallbride you are doing amazing..I thought I was doing good..I was banded on 10/11/12 and I am down 41 lbs as of today but wow..I am supposed to get a second fill on the 21st but I'm afraid they won't do a fill due to my weight loss since my last appointment!!

Pre-op weight-301 Surgery date- 10/11/12 weight- 287 Current weight- 260

Anyone ever have a problem with soreness or swelling at the port site! It's not All the time just every now and then!! Just curious if this is normal!!

I'm so happy for you..I feel the same way you do..I was banded on 10/11/12 and had 131 lbs to lose and now I have 96 lbs to go!! Can't wait for you to enjoy 2013!!

I'm 6 weeks post op and I have lost my 2 yr old nephew..which weighs 35 lbs!!

Amy single mother of 3, never married!! Was banded on 10/11/12!! Looking for someone to talk to!!

Thank you guys so much I greatly appreciate it!! I will def. try ur suggestions!!

I am 3 weeks post op and will not get my first fill for 2 more weeks!! I am having trouble actually losing weight!! I have lost 20 lbs since starting my liquid diet pre op 1 month ago but haven't lost anything in the last 2 weeks! I am only taking in around 600 cal a day..mostly soups and oatmeal so I was his wondering if anyone else is or did have this problem

Thanks guys

Well I was banded on 10/11/12!! I go see my surgeon on Friday for my 2 week follow up and i will ask him but just wanted to see what others were told!! I figured I should wait at least until the swelling all goes down..right!!!

Has anyone been told how long to wait before consuming an alcoholic beverage.'low cal' of course! Wanted to celebrate my sisters new job!
