Hello I was banded Oct 26,2007 with a 14 cc band. I have had 2 fills. I go for my next one next week. I am loosing very slowly. I am just feeling like nothing is working right now. I am just stuck. But on a better note I do feel so much better than I have in a long time..I do not regret getting the band what so ever. I couldn't of done it without it.. It also motivates me to read about all the others. I am not alone.

I had my 2nd fill 1/15/2008. 2cc for a total of 6cc. And I found out that my band size is 14. WOW.....I just dont no want to say about that. that a big band..I feel I am doing well. But the weight just isnt coming off. I just gonna have to try a little harder. maybe add alittle more to my exercise. Ill see what happens this week..:rolleyes2:

Yeah I was told by the nutris. to get all liquid vit. and tylenol. But when I had my surg. I was sent home with pills and I questioned my Dr. He said its fine I can take them. So I did and I am and I havent had any problems. And Im sure like everyone else thats a big multi vit.

Well its January 5 th 2008. Well after the 1st fill I new I felt full longer, but I really did'nt feel any thing yet. About 2 weeks after the fill I went out to eat with my husband and fI had my first experience I thought I was being good I ordered a salad with chicken on it and ond got a few bits of the chicken when I suddenly felt pressure like I was so stuffed. I believe I was stuck by the time I got home I was in horrible pain.:omg: It took a long time to come un-stuck I no I will never eat that Kind again. Not worth feeling that way.. I just think its funny that all this time I did'nt no what to expect.. I think I'm getting the picture now.

I have had crystal lite and vodka..and diet cranberry juice and vodka. I just had a few and had no problems...

Sorry about your pain. I had horrible pain nothing I did helped But mine was GAS it was all over mostly in my shoulders/ sadly to say it took about 1 week and 3 days to go away..I never expected gas pain to feel like that.

Soorry about that.... a piece of chicken. a small bit got stuck. That was the first time i felt anything.

Hey I felt the same way I kept thinking I'm not feeling anything, whats wrong here. I just stuck to my diet for the best part. Then I went for my 1st fill,......Didnt feel anything...then about 2 weeks after my fill I felt it, I ate A

I had my 1st fill around 265ish I dont think you'll have a problem.

Well thank you for that info I was wandering the same thing when watching biggest looser. Now that I no that I will try not to hang on

Well I had my 1st fill December 18th 2007. 4cc.Its been about or a little more than a month and a half, and I lost 25 lbs. Pretty good I think since I had no restictions for some time now. I really dont what I should feel. I think I am expecting to much rite away. I no its working (because when I eat or do protein shake I am full for a long time) :clap2:I am going to the gym about 3-4 times a week. Hopefully after the Holidays I will get more time in.;)Well I so much better after dropping 25 lbs I cant wait to see what I feel like after another 25 and so on...........

Well congrats. and good luck. I was banded 3 weeks ago like you I felt the same way. The only real pain I had to complain about was the GAS!!!!! The shoulder pain was the worst. But after a week it was all gone, and I felt like nothing was done, just a little sore were the port is. Now I feel great. Let us no how you are doing.

Well its 3 weeks that im banded. I feel great. The gas was gone about a week later. Once that was gone I felt like a dif. person, you would never no I had it done. I had nothing else to complain about. Well Im walking about 4-5 nites out of the week. Next week Im gonna go back to the gym, I cant do any other exercise for a month. So I have been staying away from the gym.

I got banded 10/26 I also have a raised area but more in the front. maybe not a big but I am not concerned It is swollen. I go to the Surgeon tonite and will question it. Dont forget they move alot of stuff around It could be a musssle healing.

Well I got banded October 26th, The day before I finally called my family and told them what I was doing. That took alot of weight off my shoulders. I felt alot better after I did that. I have to say I wasnt expecting that much pain:faint:. I had so much gas pain in the shoulders in the chest Just all over. I could not get comfyyy. I thought It was just horrible.:confused:.But everyday It has gotten better now im 3 days out and still have discomfort, but feel 100% better than I DID...

I had horrible pains in my shoulders, and now they are better. I still have pain but it is not as severe.All I kept thinking the day after is what did I do to myself. But now its getting better. I know its all worth it and its gonna get better.also it great knowing im not the onlyone going threw this.

Hi I also just got banded friday Oct. 26th. I didnt no the gas pain would be THAT BAD.

I am also getting banded this month oct 26th, good luck. I think you have to be carefull for at least 1 week, we want the stomach to heal. we dont want to pull any stitches out.

Well my date is October 26th,:nervous Only 11 days away.I am excited , nervous, and scared all at the same time. But just cant wait. Just trying to get things so I am ready. Dont no if I will need it but just in case took a week off of work. :heh: We all could use a couple of days off.Still didnt really tell anyone what I was doing, just dont really feel I have to.:paranoid Or that it is the rt time. I just wonder if I am the only person that dont want to tell their family or co-workers that I am getting banded!!:speechles:speechles
