Get a slight unfill it will help. You need to eat real food not food that will go down.

No I had 2 put in during surgery. Then at 6 weeks got .5. After my first fill I got progressively tighter. Today my doctor was like wow look how much you lost and I said um mm yeah I dont hardly eat. He took out .25. OMG I feel so much better and I can eat protein again. Everyone is different. a tiny bit makes a difference in some.He said call him next week he was willing to do whatever. He also thanked me for telling the truth. He said my body who of shut my metabolism down completely and I should just take the month to catch up. It would be fine with him if I just stayed the same this month. Good luck to you and dont be scared to ask anything!!!!

what is luvox?

Ok I had my first fill . I have a 10 (something band) they put 2 cc's in during surgery. My first fill 5 weeks later was .5 cc. I am tight . Im eatting a little and drinking alot and losing weight Im not complaining. From others peoples post, they are talking 2-4 fills before they feel it. They also say they are gettin 2cc fills. Is it normal that I got only.5 and I feel restriction? Is it also normal to be extremely tight one day then loose then tight again. How long after fills do you stay tight? Thanks Guys!!!!

I had a fill 2 weeks ago. First week WOW tight. Second week TOM and I was tight again. There were two days in between where I was in my Sweet Spot. I'm back to Sweet spot today. My question is What food goes down when everything else gets stuck. I can always eat Honey Gram Crackers or Mashed Potatoes made with Chicken Broth. ALSO Popcorn goes down like a champ anytime. I really gotta watch that. Please respond.......I get discouraged when people don't and I don't post for weeks after lol.:heh:

You will do great! I live a very fast and social life. I was scared too ! Its OK and all works out! I'm new BUT I have been through the Pre-diet and it was HARD! You can do it stay focused! One thing... I wouldn't start that before you have to. You have to be on liquids for quite some time enjoy whole food while you can without stuffing yourself. Good luck!

7 days 12 lbs!

I live in Delaware. Im 29. I have Type II Diabetes. I take meformin and Januvia. My BMI is 34. Do I have a chance for a doctor to do the Lap Band for me?

It is 7am and I have to leave at 9am for the hospital....I have had a long liquid week...wow it was long. Im not scared just dont want to feel like vomiting when I wake up. I can handle pain pretty well. Send me hugs! I will need them for the ride there. I feel like that might be the time I flip out!:clap2:

Check out "Today is my day" thread in General Lap BAnd discussion room. I gave you a story 12 hrs after surgery!

I was suppose to be at the hospital at 10:30 am Yesterday. I got there they called me right back for blood work. I thought here we go and my nerves set in .....WRONG! They were backed up and I did not even get taken back by my nurse till 3pm and went for my surgery at 4! I was so over nerves by then . I had a headache from Hell. I had drank a Protein shake the night before at 6. I was starving and dehidrated by the time they put my IV in my veins were dry. Take my advice drink as long as they would let you.They at one point did check my sugar to make sure I wouldn't pass out waiting. The best part is when I woke up the headache was gone! I asked for everything I could get for not making me feel sick...I always had before. I DID NOT FEEL SICK!!!!WOOHOOO!! I felt foggy when I woke up.Not muck pain just a little. I said to my mom and DH on the way home I wish I could explain to you guys what this feel like.Its just hard to explain. Im sore and very slow. Anyway back to my story.. I sat in recovery about 30 min and then they took me right to a private room whith my mom and DH and immediately set me in a recliner. Then brought some cranberry juice to mee..mmmmgood. I diluted it of course after that first sip but it was good. I had a bit of anxiety due to feeling like I needed to burp and scared I would vomit (IM paranoid). My family rubbed my feet as I came around. I got up and walked with a nurse to the bathroom and went,got dressed and went home at 7pm. It was 3 hours from the time they called me back to discharge.Mom said when she kissed me and left it was no longer than 45 min and the doctor was out. As for pain. The drive was an hour. I got home and went right to bed and took my first dose of my liquid meds. then again at 12am and now again at 4am. My prescription says 1to2 tsp every 4-6 hours. Im taking two every 4 for now. It is very true your shoulder hurts.I need help getting out of bed.And pulling up my pants after the bathroom. The bed looks like th only place I cant move myself up from. I just though I would sign on and let some of this gas move around. Im going back to bed now. Please feel free to ask me questions.:whoo:

I am finishing my 5th day on my LD and it sucked ....everyday it sucked! I get my surgery on Wednesday the 18th . I wanted to cheat!! everyday is a struggle. I have had 4 cashews. That has been my only cheat. It will be worth it. I am glad that Im through the withdraw I had the first two days. I can imagine having those sick headaches and dealing with the pain at the same time. Good luck and be honest. The Liver is really important!

I'm on a 7 day liquid diet . On day #4. 4 Days till my surgery. I feel like I'm starving to death. And Ive lost like 9 lbs. How much did you lose on a 7 day liquid pre-op diet. I'm a lower BMI I hope they don't tell me that Im too little when this is all over jeez. One more thing I want to shrink my liver don't get me wrong, but what shrinks it the liquid diet or the fact that it is low fat? I will eat boiled chicken and steamed broccoli with no butter. That sounds great. :help:

Wow...Thanks Faith!

I went to my seminar on June 23, consult on 25. Insurance kicked in on Monday. Boy I have been busy this week. PFT, chest X-ray, Upper GI, Pulmonary Doctor, Cardiologist, psych evaluation, and then back to my doctor. The date is July 18th!!!! The cardiologist found a murmur and is sending me for an ultrasound of my heart but cleared me. Does anyone think I got it from my diabetes?

Im am a hairdresser. In the last 10 years I have seen clients thin from many things. Many women start to thin after having a baby, they come in freaking out and If I ask how old is the baby? They are always 4-6 months old. It does pass! Im scared too! I have fine hair annd I wear is short. I plan on using Nioxon when I get surgery in a couple weeks. Im gonna get started early to try to prevent. The #1 reason I see hair loss is STRESS, then thyroid, Birth of a child and weight loss. I have not heard anyone complain about anesthesia. The more you stress the more it will fall out. Keep taking your supplements.

Delaware....3 hours top to bottom!

Ok I went to the seminar...I went for consultation. I have great insurance.The only problem is I have to come in that office one time 10lbs heavier. I know I way 200 whats the problem? Im obsessed the more I eat the more it doesnt show on the scale. I have ate like a pig for three days and I lost 2 pounds. What in the world? Would you put something in your bra or pants? Tell me how I can make this happen. I know it sounds like a joke but I need it fast. Please someone give a suggestion besides Milkshakes. Can I take something to help be bloat or something?This is so against what I have done for 20 years . :faint:

Thanks so Im not the only one!!! You guys are so nice! Did you stuff your purse?

What was your BMI when you went to your first appointment?Where you taking medication for Diabetes,high blood pressure, ect? :welldoneclap:

Help me understand....If I have been on a diet and am down to 34 BMI (and stuck) ,but I have dibetes and I could get approved at 35 BMI. I should gain the weight back to get approved? AND If I go to the center at 35 BMI will they make me diet? Say they do and I lose weight. Then I cant get it done? Im so confused, because if that was the case who would really try to lose weight during that time? Does anyone understand what Im trying to say?

I live in Lower Delaware. I will have BCBS as of July 1st Comprehensive PPO through the state. I had no idea where to even start. I should call that office first and should I say Im looking to get lab band? :help:
