    She didn't take a cheap shot. You WERE condescending. I was suffering, vulnerable, and in pain and all you thought was that I had somehow cheated and that I should "listen to your doctor!!" Anyway that's for your advice. I'm fine now. Just sad.

  6. JUST banded and this is a picture of me looking down. Which one is the port? Ps. I'm in so much pain. Gas is subsiding but the stitches and insides feel awful.

    Ok it's all out. He had filled me 3cc during surgery and now I'm completely deflated. He said this happens in 5% of surgeries and that I will prob be one of those people that don't need too many fills. Having the needle poke me in fresh stitches was awful. I'm so devastated this s starting out this way.

    So I was right. I WAS allowed watered down yogurt. I just couldn't handle it. Should I go get a defill or just wait it out??

    When I took tiny sips of Water I had to throw up again. I feel like there is a golf ball in my chest. If I wait it out will it go away? I don't want to throw up again! Yes I'm rem and just trying relax on the couch. I called my doctor and he said to go to him at the hospital so he can take Fluid out.

    Sipping is making it worse!!
  13. I was told that my band would be filled during surgery (on Friday) and it would only be a little amount. When I asked how much, they said the doctor would decide during surgery. Is this typical? Many of you have said you got your 1st fill 4-6 weeks after surgery. TIA!
  14. Surgery day is almost here and I'm so nervous I could....but I'm also super excited and looking forward to the new me. Please pray for me!

    Second thoughts...

    I would have been so upset. Sorry you have a friend like that.

    What's going on at Slimband

    How did your surgery go? How are you now post-op? My surgery is in a couple of days...on Friday and I'm so nervous!

    PRE filled band (during surgery)

    ..and how has your "restriction" been? Have you had any subsequent fills?
  18. Wanna-Be-Healthy

    Did you feel restriction prior to your first fill?

    I wonder if this will be my case. I am having surgery on Friday and the doc fills the band with 4cc during surgery.
  19. Wanna-Be-Healthy

    Almost 2 years and never been in green zone!

    Is this a new technique? Is it required for every fill?
  20. I don't have much insight as my surgery is still on Friday but I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I have been thinking the same thing.
