What does a slip fills like? I hear people saying their band moved or the pouch was gone and had to have another surgery. I am curios to know what it fills like. I was banded on 11/26/12 and to date I don't fill like I have any restrictions. I hope my band hasn't moved.

Thank you and that is exactly what I will do. Thanks again for the advice!!!

Wheeeeewwwww! Thank you all so much. I was beginning to feel overwhelmed about it! I feel much better now, much better!!!! Thanks again!!!!!

Get a Wii game console with the Wii fit board. You will have everything the gym has to offer in the comfort of you own home. Its the best investment I ever made. IRS a workout with f-u-n added!!!! If not that get a few work out videos.

I am only a week out but I've got to know, it is so hard for me to get 64 plus ounces of water in. Again, I know I am just a week out but I feel full all the time. I am forcing in what water I do drink per day which is usually about 24 - 32 ounces. Does this get better? Is anyone else finding 64 ounces or more hard as well?

Wow!! That is great!!!

A week today and I am still here when I definitely thought I was dying this whole week!!! I made it yay!!!!

Add me I'm dbhooks. Just had my surgery 11/26/12

Amen!!!

It doesn't take long to make one remember the three C's. I was eating today, finally solid foods and all of a sudden I felt like I was dying. The pain in my chest was so unbearable. All I could do was pray and spit the food out I had in my mouth. Now looking back at it all I can do is laugh. I was so excited to be able to finally eat that I forgot to cut AND chew. I was eating as if nothing had changes in my life.! I felt every piece as it went down. When I finally felt relief, I asked my hubby, did he not see me dying!! Lol!!!! When I remembered the three c's, I digested it all without a problem. Lesson learned and it didn't take long!!!!!!

Congrats to you! I was told to start my vitamins immediately. I was banded on the 26th! Yay and Congrats to you again!!!!

Thanks guys! You were helpful! I will be meeting with my surgeon next week about this. Now after hearing you all talk about the Nsaid drugs I am on celebrex which is another Nsaid drug and I can't imagine life without it due to Rheumatoid Arthritis.

I didn't know we need to stay away from ibuprofen. I took one just today. I am concern now! Please can someone explain why?
