I've been experiencing pain just below my left rib cage,I've been drinking plenty of fluids n watching what I eat n thought it might be gas,so even took Gas X,but pain remains ,anyone else have this problem?

Yeah me too

Can we eat cheese,when banded ?

I had not had a period for over a year,thought I was going thru pre menopause ,but four days after surgery I had a period,Dr said its normal ,cause body is going thru changes

Does anyone know if 7up is ok to drink ,while banded?

I have read a lot about the extra skin,people have as they are losing the weight,is there any recommendations other than surgery to try and help tighten those muscles.?

Thanks to all those who have responded,the information really helps,I appreciate it,

Ok ill try that,thanks for the info,I appreciate your help.

Thanks everyone,aside from the ice,I'm doing real good.

I had surgery may 10th,n just recently started solid foods,and am watching what I eat,but has anyone had problems with constipation? I was going regularly when on liquid diet,but since I started solids,I noticed a difference

Ive been really thirty,had surgery on May 10th,n I've been craving lots of crushed ice anyone else go thru this.

Did you make the cream of wheat with water or milk and did you add any sweetener to it ?

I was taking the flintstone chewables,and they taste bad,any suggestions on what other vitamins to take ?

This information really helps,cause I'm hungry,but the thought of soups or any liquids ,makes me not want to eat

Did you guys have the entire egg or just the egg white

Thanks for the information,its real helpful.now if I could just figure out what foods I can start eating ?

So today is a seven days after surgery,and I was still on my liquid diet,but wondering if anyone knows when I can start eating something different ,I'm kind of all souped out,?

So I had surgery on May 10th ,going for my first follow up today,does anyone or can anyone tell me what to expect when I get there?

I was only uncomfortable at night,when sleeping on my back,I'm on day 6 after surgery n I feel good,but if I overdue to much I feel tired,I haven't had to much gas or pain,

Yeah it is wierd,some people tell me its cause I've lost a few pounds,I've lost 17 pounds so far ,with the liquid diet and having the lapband surgery ,but hopefully it doesn't last forever,I liked not having one at all.Thanks for responding ,it helps to hear other peoples experiences.

I had surgery May 10th,and this may be too much info,but I had not had a menstrual period for over a year and my Dr thought I was pre menopausel and since I had surgery ,I recently started my menstrual again. Has this happened to anyone?And again sorry for too much info,just curious if anyone has gone thru this.

I chose the lapband due to less risk,I've known people who had the gastric,and they had several problems,I also know a few people who had the lapband and have had no complications at all.The recovery from the lapband is also less ,so I chose the lapband and had my surgery on May 10th and I'm feeling good.

I had surgery 5 days ago,and feel good,I'm not real hungry and haven't gotten sick,I have no regret and also did a lot of research before going under,the lapband did seem safer and so its the route I took.I haven't weighed myself yet,but have a Dr appt on Friday,n the staff has been great,calling to check on me and offering their help for anything. Hope you make the right decision to make you happy ,cause that's what I did,and my family has been very supportive.
