    Hi March Bansters! How is everyone doing? I was banded on 3/13 and I have now plateaued for the last 4 weeks at 52 lbs lost. I even feel my hunger starting to creep back in. Any suggestions on best way to overcome a plateau?!? I'm so frustrated!! Thanks in advance!

    Help! I made a mistake.

    My doctor doesn't even believe in the pre-op diet. I ate normally right up until 36 hours before surgery, and then just liquids the day before!! You will be fine! Best of luck!! Best decision I ever made!

    Too tight?

    A week ago today I had my third fill (7.5cc in a 10cc band). I am able to keep liquids and some solid foods down. However, I have thrown up many foods I think I should be able to eat, (dark meat chicken, egg whites, etc.) and I am chewing my food completely / taking small bites. Like I said, I am keeping down some things. And I had been successful with the previous fill. I have lost 46 lbs since my surgery in March. But has anyone else experienced this after a fill? Did it get better and you adjusted to the "new normal" or should I consider having some saline removed?

    Post op: time between fills

    Mine too--first fill after 6 weeks and then every 4 weeks. I just had my third fill today!

    I was banded on 3/13 along with a hernia repair. I am still having a lot of shoulder pain from the hernia repair. Has anyone else had this shoulder pain? How long will this last?

    First Fill..go in with an empty stomach?

    My doctor said liquids only the day of the fill.
