Any other September 2013 bandsters?
whittycent replied to Irishflower79's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have had my band for about 2.5 months now. After my first fill, I noticed the burping issue. I asked my Dr about it and they said I could be eating or drinking too fast. So I have been making an effort to wait a little bit longer between bites and drink water a little slower. It has helped some. -

Vomiting after surgery?
whittycent replied to MrsFraga2016's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had trouble with the anesthesia making me vomit while it was working its way out of my system. Whenever I tried to take the anti nausea meds they would come right back up. Same with any liquids. ugh. Within 24 hours I felt much better. I talked to the surgeons office and they said if it went on til the next day to call back but luckily it went away and everything was fine. That was almost 4 weeks ago now. -

I had my surgery Tuesday am. I had a lot of pain and some vomiting due to the anesthesia, but once that worked its way out of my system, I felt worlds better. Now I just have mild stomach pain which I expected and some gas discomfort. But moving around, heating pad, and not laying flat for too long (I sleep on 3 pillows to help) has made the residual gas pains bearable and I feel better everyday. I also could only fall asleep for a few hours at a time that first day/night and had to sleep sitting up. But that passed after the first day. -

6 months is KILLING my drive :/
whittycent replied to TheDuchess's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had to do 6 months with my insurance. I actually have my final appt tomorrow with the surgeon and will get my surgery date. I was really excited for the first few months, but then at around month 4 my excitement started waning. But now that I am in the final stretch, I have been reading a lot of blogs and other peoples experiences. Its helped going back and reading all of their experiences since so many are several years out. I see what these other people were able to accomplish and reminds me of what I want to accomplish with the band.
