Thank you everyone!!!

I had lap band done last December and I have only lost 20 lbs with it that's including pre op also I am slowly gaining back. I have no motivation at all. My eating habits are not good. I can't seem to get myself back on track and no motivation for exercise. I need a buddy to keep me in track to keep me in check. I feel so depressed. I haven't had a fill in over a month and only upto 5 cc. Help!!!!

I've been experiencing a sore/scratchy throat almost like a stuck feeling an occasional cough but my food goes down good. Later I get heart burn. Is this normal? Dr took fluid out last week but only 2cc from a 4cc filled band.

I will thanks I also had hernia repair too

I'm experiencing the same pain too right now. It's a horrible feeling. I'm waiting right now for my dr to call me.

Hi was banded on 12/21 and I tried my first solid yesterday for lunch which was ground beef but yesterday evening I began to experience sharp chest pain don't know if its gas or heart burn. I still have the pain on and off. I went to true results dr today n they took fluid out to see if it would help but I'm here at home now and still feel the same. Could this be heart burn? Can I take anything for heart burn? Anybody?

Good to find someone with same doctor. Congrats to all new banders

I feel much better now. No pain just discomfort when I lie too long on my side.

I'm confused cause the nurse at hospital said I can take any over d counter med for pain. And I read here no Motrin or ibuprofen and others say no Tylenol. Which is it?

Thank you too all for the advice. Would love to hear more from others.

Hi was banded 5 days ago right now I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my back n pain on my right side below my rib cage. Is this normal? What side is port usually placed on? Cause I can't seem to lay on my right side for too long and that's where I'm feeling the most pain. Anybody experience this? Also I've already lost 20 lbs since weighing in on week of protein shakes only prior to surgery. I'm keeping down liquids n dr wright of San Antonio says 2nd week begin soft foods. Has anyone done well with soft foods by 2nd week?
