Since my Pre-Op and my Post-Op I lost 35lbs. I'm on mushies now and I have gained 7Lbs. I am feeling down and like a failure. Please help me. I had my surgery on 11-26-2012. No fill yet am due for first fill on January 3, 2013. I'm so afraid I might gain all I have lost back before my fill date.

Sorry typing error.. He put me on mushy foods

I started my new life with my LapBand on 11/26/2012. All together I have lost 33 lbs! I went to my one week post-op Dr appointment on December 5, 2012. My Dr said everything was going well! He put me on solids and told me to come back January 3, 2013 for my first fill. I weighted myself today and notice u gained 6 pounds. This was. Bummer for me gaining 6 pounds since my Post-Op visit. Please Help! Need some advice and motivation..

Don't eat before your fill either!

Go back to liquid diet for 2 days after a fill

Get some Gas X Strips to help you with the. Gas in your shoulder and back and stomach they work awesome! Had my surgery 12 days ago.

I have Aetna PPO Plus and my friend has had the LapBand Procedure which left her with sagging breast and rashes under them from the excess skin. She had a TT also do to the excess skin and rashes! Yes keep in your Medical History record with both Dr for when the time comes! Go to your PCP and your Surgeon who did your procedure and it can be cover by your insurance as a Medical necessary Surgery that's needs to be done ! You were already pre classified as a Morbid Obese or Obese patient for the LapBand Procedure.. Mean while walk and drink plenty of water and your skin may adjust on its on to you new body weight without reconstruction surgery. That's why it's so important to get the daily water and fluid intake. Good luck with your new bodies! I'm just 8 days post op and have my follow up tomorrow at 2pm.

Call your doctor office. If he is not available, there should be a on call Dr you can talk to. Or go to the ER..
