  9. They just removed 4 cc's from my band.
  10. I called the surgeon this morning and they wanted to see me immediately. So I'm in the waiting room. They mentioned I need an unfill. I thought we didn't have any saline in our band the first month??? I will soon find out and hopefully feel better soon. I tried hot tea this morning and even that caused discomfort after time.

  13. Ok thank you so much! ❤️ I'm going to get some ice now and will call the doctor in the morning.
  14. I was banded on the 16th. The first 3 days were easy, but yesterday and today have been pretty rough. I can't even drink water without pain and have to burp it up. Is this normal for the first week?

  21. My surgeon wants me on clear liquids for a week and then I can have cream soups and malt o meal. Has it been easy to eat or does it hurt?
  22. I feel good too. I've been in pj pants and a hoodie. I'm already tired of broth lol. I'm so excited about this new journey. Have you have any trouble with your liquids?
  23. I was banded Thursday too. How are y'all feeling?
  24. Yay!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!
  25. Thanks everyone! ❤️ I'm banded and had a good day today. My incisions are tender, but other than that my first day was great.
  26. Tomorrow morning is the big day! I'm so excited to start my Lapband journey! ❤️
