I tryed it one time and gagged that was it I've been taking whole to just one at a time and I wait 10 and take the other. Haven't had no problems . I think we have to do what's best for us . I know we ain't docs but I do know if something ain't rite we will be the first to know.

Mine was on the 3rd. I am still very sore in the shoulders. I am pretty sure I can feel my port - not at the incision site, but a little above it and everytime I walk, I can feel it pulling inside. I'm hoping it didn't flip. I don't want to go through another surgery right now. I'm beyond thirsty and eating some Soups, but the shoulder pain is pretty much diminishing my appetite right now. Can anyone else feel their port when they move?

. I can't feel my port unless is real close to the incision I really haven't felt around to much .

Yea I still have that shoulder pain too . My stomach fells bolted but other then that I fell pretty good, hope I start felling even better.been having a lot of cravings already lol

Was banded on sept 2 any once else banded on that day or around that date ??

I bought Protein bars I plan chop them up and sprinkle them on my yogurt when I can eat still in liquid stage now.

Interesting. Can people give me their experiences re how much help they needed post op?

. I had my boys here but really didn't need that much help , even if u got a friend just to check on u once a day u will be fine . Don't worry it will be fine

My husband just told me that he cannot get off the week I am scheduled to have surgery. Some rule about all vacation needs to be done by October 26th. The problem is that I have a vacation planned and paid for until October 15th. That won't give me enough time to do a pre op diet and have a week to recover. I am so frustrated. My husband has been totally unhelpful during this entire process and now he can't get off that week to help me. I feel so down right now like I just want to give up on this whole thing. How long would an approval last? It seems I may have to delay until January, over 4 months after my pre op requirements.

. When I started my process last sept 2013 I had to do 6 months then when that was thru I had to wait another 5 months for them to submit the paper work . Which was august 31st it took 20 days for an answer . My doc office that all that I went thru , nut visits, sleep study , ext. would be good up for 2 years so just ask ur doc office how long is ur stuff good for before u have to do it all over again?

I had surgery on sept 2 I'm going in on the 23 for first fill if needed .

Ya funny how I waited a year for this was all excited about it and now I just want to feel better . I know it's only been 2 days but I'm ready just to move around and feel like my old self again. I've been walking and moving around but still got slot of gas .

I take vita fusion multivitivites ( Gummy ) they r good
