Thank you for the input. I am new at this and being filled now reality is really settling in. So I will be carefully and sipping on liquids for a day or so.

Oh I feel a little better hearing that. I will definitely let my Dr know this next week and see what he says. I thought I had heard flying can make things weird before.

Hi I got my band on Oct. 10Th and have had two fills.. it's been right at a month since my second fill. I am scheduled for 3rd fill this next week. Anyway I am just now feeling like I have a band and I'm having a bit of a hard time eating just the last 3 or 4 days all of the sudden. I m wondering if I'm just now noticing the 2nd fill. Would it take weeks to notice the difference? I'm hoping nothing is wrong. I was away on business for a cpl weeks wonder if stress and flying would make band feel tighter or what? Today was the first time I kind of threw up my food. It was eggs. Maybe Im eating too fast? I have a few more days til I go to Dr so wanted some input or opinions please..

Can you explain what you feel when you are kinda stuck?? i have had 2 feels and go for a third next week but just the past few days i have been feeling uncomfortable almost every meal. my chest gets tight and it hurts. Almost feels like contractions because it goes away for a few seconds and comes back. I've slimed a few times and food came back up once. Now I'm feeling sore. Anyway this just started happening all if the sudden. I might be eating too fast but am alarmed because this all came suddenly. Hoping I haven't had a band slip or something bad. Maybe I'm paranoid... my last fill was a month ago wondering if it just took a few weeks to kick in. Ugh Idk. But can't call Dr until Monday so wanted some opinions

Thank you... I do forget sometimes, especially if I'm really hungry. After the episode this morning I'm feeling sore so I guess I'll be on liquids for the rest of today. That ugly feeling in my chest was not fun!

Hi i was banded a week ago and have felt pretty good just sore. So yesterday i lifted a bag of groceries that might have been too heavy. afterward i did not feel very good a little pain. now i feel just a different kind of sore in different spots that i had been feeling before. So my question is ... if i messed something up in there with the band would i for sure know it and be feeling alot of pain? Am i paranoid? i know the best thing to do is call dr but like i said its not really painful just a different sore feeling. And i know most veteran banders are pretty helpful and encouraging so just wanted to see what yall had to say about it before i start calling and making a big fuss.

OK GOOD!! thank you for your input. Congrats on your cosmetic surgery i bet you look like a million more bucks when you fully recover! That is very exciting!! post some pix when it starts looking better!

thank you those are good suggestions. i think being on fuller liquids and some yogurt and pudding has helped already!! I love Thai food so might have to try those!

i was banded a week ago. most of my gas has gone away, at least the hard/bad stuff. But yes i am ready for that mushy stuff!!! i lifted a bag of groceries that must have been too heavy and now i am paranoid that something went wrong... just a little sore in a different way. surely if something was majorly wrong it would be really painful right??...

I got to my week post op appointment tomorrow so ill be able to start full liquids. I'm not really craving anything but feel hunger so badly it hurts ... I'm sure it's not gas the gas feels different. Anyway i don't know how I'm going to get thru another 2 weeks of liquids even if they are fuller in consistency! Ugh any suggestions??

I'm only on clear liquid post op diet no shakes til I hit a week and I'm actually looking forward to that!! How r all of u??

Lucky u I am 4 days post op and I'm feelin hungry ...I mean the loudest tummy growel I've ever heard!!!

Today was my day... Of course I feel some pain and mostly gas. Not too too terrible. Should I expect it to get worse before it gets better? Or might this be the worst day? I know everyone is different but just wondered what y'all might have experienced.

Glad to hear that same here!! I was banded Thursday and already feel the soreness going away a little bit. My gas has kinda moved from the chest down lower. Very loud and grumbly.

Oh no hiccups for me thank goodness!!

Thank y'all! I do feel better when I walk just finally took pain meds! Sometimes feeling bout of breath just from talking idk what that's about..

Hahaha that is something I look forward to!! Congrats!!

I had the Mirena think it was plastic I've never heard of the copper one...

Ohhh funny crap on here ha hahaa!! I had the poking problem and mine was just uncomfortable to me had it in for a year and I swear 4 days after I got it taken out I got preggo with my second baby. So I guess it was doing its job for me heheee!

hi everyone i havent been on here in a few days ... ive been going a little crazy being stressed preparing for surgery. mine is tomorrow the 10th!!! ive had surgery before but not where they cut on my tummy didnt have to have a c-sec with my babies so this is something new. anyway im getting nervous but am more nervous about the nausea than pain for some reason! ive done ok on my shake diet last cpl weeks but did have a few bites of food here and there. hope thats ok cause here i go!! good luck to everyone else!

Wow I'm actually not one to be interested in tattoos even though I have 1 but I have to say I really do like this! And I am sorry for your loss.

Oh good for you! I've never been a runner even in my skinny days so that would be a big deal for me.

Oh and Best Buy and radio shack are 2 places that I know carry fitbit.

Btw I get banded next week and will be using my fitbit zip as extra motivation!

Oh I love my zip, had the one and loved it too butl it was old and stopped working. Now I want an excuse to get the flex but my zip is in perfect shape still. I like that it links up to fitness pal and other apps to show your progress or you can track food on the fitbit app and website. Anyway I bought my dad one as a gift and he wears his every day. It's a great product!!! All of the models are great!
