Haven't been on this site in a while, but am back ! Have a few questions. The other night I was very nauseous the other night and had lots of gas and constant burping [ sorry for the use of term]. I never was nauseous like that before and it was not from something being stuck or anything. I figure I ate gassy vegetables that day for lunch whi9ch I did that I usually don't eat and am hoping this is the cause. Its been a few days now and I randomly feel an ache/tiny sting in my port area and sometimes by my band. Not often and nothing thats a lasting pain but I havent had this before and its making me very SCARED. Does anyone have any suggestions or had something like this before? Another question I have is that when I eat salads with lettuce as opposed to real vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes I eat a lot of it and dont get full is that stretching my band? Really appreciate opinions. Thanks so much Monica:confused:

What do you consider heavy ? I am 2 months post op and have a cousin who weighs about 30- 35 lbs.. should i not be picking him up

Congratulations !!! I am wondering what a revision is ? and why people need that

I dont even know if this should be in the "food" section of the site but i had 2 general questions regarding food A- I was wondering if you can overeat - "Stretch" the pouch without something getting stuck. because yesterday i ate and felt extremely full and uncomfortable but nothing got stuck B- What causes "PBing" or leads to it ? is it possible to prevent it thank you

I have this weird cough sometimes like for instance today I ate and 20 minutes later and even through out the day i cough , not to catch my breath but as if i have some flem in my throat that wants to come out. I was wondering if anyone experiences the same thing or has before so I stop worrying Thank you :help:

i am starting my 6th week tomorrow so that means hard solids. this past week i've been testing solids , and i tried salad. I was scared at first but chewed well. I did not get lettuce because it intimidates me more than cucumbers and tomatoes. But everything went down fine. Try it ! I was actually happy to have salad Goodluck

I was wondering if anyone sips on pellegrino/ sparkling Water or diet coke here and there ? I keep hearing everyone feels fine or is in crucial pain , i was wondering if it harms the band. thanks

Hi, I was wondering how the first fill feels. while its being done and after. Someone once told me its painful .I wanted to know your experiences. Also am i still starting solids around the first fill or im back to liquids for a few weeks ? so confused but excited to loss more weight !! I am also wondering if anyones weight loss started stopping at around 4-5 weeks. I havent lost a pound in the past week and i am following all the instrucitions. I know its just my start , but its very frustrating :help: Thank you all in advance for your help
