Sometimes it takes a while for the swelling to go down. I still have trouble trying to eat eggs. They just do not go down well for me. Everyone is different. Good luck, and welcome to all the new people. Donna

If it is not better in two or three days you should call your doctor and see what he, or she, says. Donna

It will get better. It just takes a few days. Welcome to the site. Donna

Welcome to the site. Keep reading, lots of info here. Donna

I am having a real hard time allowing myself to have any kind sweets. I am so afraid of having a binge. I am doing pretty good though. Donna

Ruth I love my band . I have had two fills and have good restriction. It may take a little longer to lose with the band , but the surgery is safer. Donna

Sorry it is like that for you. I never even feel it. Hope it gets better. Donna

Don`t be embarrassed. You paid for it. I did not get any restriction until my second fill. Donna

Now here is one that is funny. I still weigh 198 and yet someone at work just said to me " Now Donna , You be careful not to get to skinny." Ha Ha fat chance. I would love some one to call me skinny and really mean it!! lol Donna

I went to Dr Zapata in Mexico.He was wonderful. My cost was 8000 for everything, even airfare. Do a lot of research before you decide. Best of luck Donna PS It is a lot easier and faster going to Mexico.

I took three weeks off because i could. Some people go back a lot sooner, but i am glad i had the time to adjust to my band. Let us know how you do . Donna

Have someone hide the candy from you and welcome to the site. Best of luck on your surgery. Donna

Welcome!! It really will get better. It just takes a little time. Donna

Hi to all of you who are about to get your bands. It really does work so try not to worry too much. I don`t have NEARLY the appetite that i had before the band. I have had two fills and did not get restriction until the second one. It was ok tho cause even without restriction i just was not very hungry. Best of luck to all of you and welcome!!! Donna

Congrats on your surgery. Glad you are doing so well. Donna
