Jack, because if I do not do right my band will jack with me!! LOL

Try cotton balls that what I did. Hope it helps. On your daughter's graduation, I know you are so proud. Congrats

I know I have told you this but WALK, WALK, and walk some more. You will be ok! Call if you need me. Did I say walking helps with the gas? LOL Take care of your self.

Thank you for all the help. I did get my fill today 2cc in a 10cc band. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. Down 25 lbs! (Happy Dance!) Loving life and doing what the Dr tells me to do.

You need to ask your Dr. I was told as long as it is as small as my pinky nail I could take it with no trouble. I take a thyroid pill every day.

Why am I more scared of my first fill? I was banded on May 2, 2013 and have lost 24 lbs. How much will they put in my band? I know all Dr are not the same but was just wanting to know if anyone had lost this much and how much fluid did they get on the first fill? Thanks for the help!

This was great I needed it today! Thank you!

You are doing GREAT keep up the hard work!

Thanks for the help. I am better today.

What part of Texas? I am in Fort Worth. I was banded on May 2, 2013. I hope you are doing well!

Please keep us updated how everyone is doing! Good luck to you all.

Welcome and yes this is a great place to get the 1411.

You are still healing as I am. We should not be so worried about lost we need to learn how to work with our band. have you had a fill? Are you walking? What are you eating?

PLEASEEEEEE CALL YOUR DR!

Ok if you are a man you can read and help only if you can, please do not be rude! So I was banded on May 2, 2013 and this is my first TOM and all I want to do today is EAT! I am drinking water but it is not helping. On the bright side I am down 21 lbs! I had NO cramps for the first time in years. (happy dance). But I can not get full. My first fill is May 29, please help me! What is a girl to do????? I am drinking water, and walking.

We are not all the same but I started walking as soon as I could before my band date! I did what the Dr told me to do and I walked, walked, gas-x, oh did I tell you that I walked! LOL I guess the only thing I can say is drink, walk, gas-x, pain meds and do what the Dr tells you to do. I was banded on May 2, and back to work on May 6th. Good luck to you and please keep us updated on how you are doing!

You are doing GREAT! I am so proud for you! If I can be of any help please let me know. Welcome to this site I know you will like it as much as I do!

I was banded on May 2, 2013 I know how you have been feeling. But it DOES get BETTER! I am with NO GAS PAIN and I am drinking lots of water! You have to heal! You have to take care of you first as a Mom I know it is hard to do this but if you can not take care of you then how can you take care of others? I hope all goes well at the Dr Office for you. I am sending you prayers and hugs from TX. Please let me know what they tell you.

Try gas-x that has helped me but you do have to walk and try doing some arm windmills. I hope this helps

I think it is withdraws as well. I told you I was going to bed at 8:30pm because I could NOT stand myself. Just do what they tell you and if you need me call. And if you need to call your Dr office, that is what we pay them for> Good luck and I am here for you if you need me!

WAY TO Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can top the KFC. My Hubby and Kids had T-bone and I had Beef broth! I feel the love in my house!

One thing I tell my self every day is this did NOT happen over night so the wight will NOT come off over night. I have to work at it everyday. Use my NEW tool eat right, work out, and take BETTER care of ME!

I am in the same boat! Had my band done May 2 and to this day I still have gas pain. All I can say is walk, walk, and walk some more! I hope you feel better soon.

Yes but I am so READY To eat. I have been doing everything they told me too. I just want solid FOOD!
