Hi everyone. I'm down 30 and feel good myself. I go for my 4th fill the 31st. I can tell I have a band now LOL. It took three fills to get me here. I also started jogging today. Haven't done that in years. Of course I had to stop a few times, but kept going.

So you know your not alone, I have been so hungry all day. I have had a snack of almonds. Don't know how bad they are for me, buy tried to find something other than sweets. Ugh.

Me too! I am trying to be positive. I go for my first fill the 26th.

That would be cool to see. I will have to ask to see if my doctor has one so I could look at.

I'm doing good so far. My first fill will be on the 26th.

Congrats!!!!!!!

Congrats! The gas pains are a bear, but walk and sip water! Rest too. I am one week out and feeling a lot better.

Thank you so much for these helpful tips!!!!

Did you know right away when you get stuck or is it a few minutes later?

I was banded on the 21st and I am off pains meds too and can't sleep. I can only sleep on my back for a couple of hours and forget my sides, too uncomfortable. I end up sleeping propped up before the night is over. Ugh

Day 5 post-op and feel so so much better! Got out of the house and wow what a difference that made. My port is on the left as well.

My doctor gave me liquid. Maybe they will call some liquid in for you.

Have felt pretty good day 4 postop, ended up with a migraine. I was allowed to take my imitrix which really helped. I did get to start eating creamed soup or yogurt. I ate a little Greek yogurt for breakfast and tried a little cream soup for lunch, I'm sticking with the yogurt. Tasted better LOL. The gas pain is almost gone. The heating pad worked great. Good luck to everyone!

Thank you all so much. This really helps when trying to understand it all
