Yes it is the most excruciating pain I have ever experience and I have 2 children and even 1 csection. I actually thought that maybe there was something getting stuck in my band the first few times because the band was new to me and I didn't know any different and it was a weird squeezing feeling and very painful but I later found out.. Months later it was gall stones.

Hello everyone I have had gallstones which caused a horrible case of pancreatitis and I had to have my gall bladder removed has anyone else experienced this? I was completely healthy before I got banded and my friend that recommended me get a lap band is also having these issues I'm just wondering how many others experience this. Pancreatitis is the worst thing I have ever experienced and if I would have known this was going to happen I would have never got banded

Could you send me some good recipes? Im having a hard time as well..crystalbrooke@att.net

Glad you went back to the Dr. I have days and meals when I'm hugrier than others or that don't stay with me for the 4 hours, but then other days I can't finish my normal serving? I can message you some recipies if you'd like? I do alot of chicken, deli turkey rolled up with cheese wrapped in lettace leaves with okios greek yogurt Jalapeno salsa dip..yumm:-) I make sure I always have alot of easy go to foods on hand at all time so in the event I don't feel like cooking or something last minute comes up I don't have to think about it.

I will send you a message later this evening with recipies.

I started mine the day after Thanksgiving so yea I went all out!!!

I can eat bread and Pasta and rice in small portions with no problem. It's best to stay away from large amounts of these carbs because even if it goes down ok...it defeats the whole purpose. Just like every doctor is different every person is also. My doctor says fine out what works best for you. I was banded 12-12-13 and I'm down 25lbs but I am also very active

Remember your body heals by swelling and you had a lot of iV Fluid during surgery. My guess is it's just Water weight and your body needs to hold on to it to heal. Take everyone's advice it will take time but focus on eating smaller amounts of nutritious food and you can't go wrong!!! Good luck !!! I was banded 12-12 and I'm feeling great.. I'm no where close to 800 calories a day and have more energy than ever. You will be just fine as long as you let your body heal

That is awesome you go girl!!!

That is awesome you go girl!!!

Same with me I have lost 16lbs since surgery which was only a week ago Dec 12th!! I feel full all the time.. It's amazing how much food your body really DOESNT need. I feel like I have been eating close to nothing at all daily... broth and a few sips of Protein Shakes when I can.. I am still recovering but I have so much energy it's amazing!! So excited for this journey!!

That is awesome you go girl!!!

Ok are you a member of poshmark? It's an app and I have all my stuff for sale on there

Shirts, jeans, jackets you name it! Execellent condition!

I'm down 20lbs so far... But yes everyone is different I lost 15lbs on the preop diet and 5 more since I got banded. Just listen to your body it will tell you what it needs or doesn't need!! Xoxoxo

I'm 4 days post op!! Right here with you!!!

I Have a wide variety of jeans from sizes 8-12. Wore each pair maybe 2-3 times. Bought them all from $50-70 a pair and will take $15-20 a pair plus shipping. Tired of looking at these and not being able to wear them because I shrunk! Lol!

I also used google to find blogs and forums of people talking about their experiences. I have been wanted to do this surgey for myself for 2 years but without insurance it has not happened yet. I hope these chats and blogs with guide me in the right direction and give me the support and answers I need.

My out of pocket with BCBS TX was $2,100.00

I was given several websites from my LapBand office. I was on lapband.com until they stopped the my journey section. That is when I decided to come to lapbandtalk to see what it was all about and have been hooked ever since.

Hello everyone! I was just banded yesterday 09/13/13! Im so happy and excited about my new future. I must say that this website has been a god sent for me because i went into surgery knowing what to expect due to everyone's previous posts! I have to admit that I was very very scared because id never been under before. They did have a problem getting my iv in, but after that everything was ok. After the surgery, I was on a cpap machine because i have severe sleep apnea which i found out the night before my surgery at my sleep study. Yes I said the night before! lol My surgeon ordered it at the last minute. At first i was angry but im glad that i did it. The shoulder and chest pain were pretty bad at first because of the hernia repair and the gas x and walking have been a great help as well. I did have horrible leg cramps afterwards but the nurse gave me a muscle relaxer via iv which worked immediately thank god!!Im now ready to see what the future holds!
