I have been banded for almost 1 yr1/2 I used to weigh 278 I know have been stuck at 200 exactly havent lost haven gained since november I have been off track this is the first week I started eating right and watching what I eat I was so happy to see this on the site I have came on a few other times and there was nothing about someone feeling that way and thats how I have been. It kills me inside but I def think I eat with my feelings in the past few months it has been so hard to get a job I have 2 daughters so I just started school and not loosing weight being off track I just stopped caring for some reason. Thanks for post. I feel like I am the only one that cant loose all my weight and its already been a year I still have 55 more to go. Melanie :biggrin2:

I was banded march 22 I am so upset at myself that I have been eating poorly I was doing so good and I feel like I will get back on track tommorrow etc. You all are doing so good with your weightloss, congrats. I beat myself up about it everyday and I think that aint helping I love reading all you guys and knowing there are other people out there that have maybe had the same problem. I am so happy to have found this site. :help:

Hi I was banded a week ago they gave me liquid roxicet much easier. The worst pain is the gas pains but everyone is different I had the pains in my chest shoulder and neck by the 6th day I was feeling so much better. Good luck it will all be worth it in the end. :nervous

Hey I was banded on march 22 its been a week the 6th day I started feeling back to myself thank god other than being hungry cause they put you on a liquid diet. I am also from mass what hospital are you going to? Honestly the first few days at home are pretty hard but its the gas pain that kills-- it goes away.

I have a 10 month old and a 9 year old I needed help for the first 6 days and I have started picking her up and I have been fine my mom had to stay at my house for those days to help me out (thank god for her). I am also single mother. It will work out that was one negative thought I had before doing this was my two girls? It will all be worth it and they say a couple of weeks but we are strong single moms it will work out. Good luck :clap2:

Everything will be fine I feel like everyone seems to be different. I was banded on Mar 22 came home next day. Give your self a week and you will feel better, My problem is now the intake of the jello and broth. I just keep telling my self this will all be worth it. The first few days I was so nervous I was never put into surgery before the gas pains are not fun at all. I didnt want to take the medicine but it helps alot. Good luck. After the pain goes away now I am left with hunger pains.

I was banded on the 22nd I just made it through the first week of the liquid diet --- the worst part is over I did not like the recovery at all. I hope all went well. Maybe we can help eachother I feel like I live on this reading everyones comments.

I finally was banded on Mar 22 2007 I was so scared it went very well but I am now going through the pain afterwards the scariest for me is the pain when breathing in--in my chest, I hope this goes away quickly. Has anyone else had chest pains after surgery? I am a nervous person to begin with so I was just wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing?
