hello donna..how is it after the first fill
-
i'm so excited for you ginaki..being on liquids isn't as bad as I thought..but I went to the dr.'s yesterday and will be getting my first fill on the 12th

Hi..sorry its taken me so long..I've been so busy over the last few days..but I'm happy to say that my symptoms were only gas..but it was definitely the worse type of gas that I've ever experienced.

thanks ginaki..I may have spoken too soon about no pain tho..I've had this nagging shoulder and back pain all day..called my doctor was told to come in first thing in the a.m. because these are signs of slippage..I felt so good after the surgery that I have to admit that I didn't follow my dr's orders completely..so now I'm a little worried..have to wait to see what happens tomorrow..

Hello everyone..I was banded on Oct. 9th..I'm glad to say that I haven't experienced any pain or nausea..but am worried about drinking too much and expanding my new pouch

I'm scheduled for surgery today at 6:30 a.m. and have been up all night part fear, part excitement
