iDIDNT GET ONE HMMM STRANGE.

I am trying so hard to post pics and i did fine on the" before and after pics". Im trying to post on my signature and it "cant save" so if anyone can help it would be awsome. TYTYTY

Ok I think I got it! First last summer 232lbs.Next was January 08, The last is today 3/08 at 190lbs.

I was banded on Dec 13 and i waited for my first fil til after my wedding on Feb 23. had the fil of 1 1/4cc on march 4. I have a small band.do you think its too much?

nope no ulcers and it is better now thank you!

This was my first fill 8 days ago. I still can only eat clear soups but the strange thing is i can eat hard things like nuts and chips but not thick soups like clam chowder. Also having a hard time with cold things, is this normal? What should I do?

I had my first fill yesterday. I ate some soup(i think a little too much) and i felt the ball in my chest then the sliming came then I threw up once, then the second time there was about a teaspoon of blood. Has this happend to anyone else and what was the cause for you? PS i did call my doc and he said i probably tore a little from the first time but not to worry unless it happend again.

Hi Matt congrats! Have you tried cream of wheat? thats what i did and i hate the texture but the cold nasty protein shakes werent good to me. But you can add protein powder to your cream soup or cream of wheat.

Hi Doc! Great to meet you! I was wondering about having lipo in my ankles,calves, and knees. Even at a smaller size , I never had the shape we call them" Baby legs" lol. what would be the approx cost and recovery time for this?

The first is in Hawaii last summer 230 ish.The other is today 196

Yup i "hiccaburp" all the time especially after I eat.

Thats the same thing that has been happening to me. Seems like every afternoon my stomach fills with gas and the pressure...uggg! Im useing Benefiber as well and i love it.Hopefully that will help me as well . When were you banded?

Mine is under my left rib...interesting

Personally I told only my fiancee and my sister. I wanted to wait until after I had the surgery because I didnt want the possible negative remarks or health risks or even worry from my family. I am glad for my decision to keep it to myself and do my own research and stay on this site ALOT! You will learn much here, I dare say more than anywhere else. Hope I helped and let me know if you would like to chat more. Good luck!

I am also flying in Feb on my honeymoon and was worried about being tight.So interesting to know that i may be! I am lso a scuba diver and am anxious to see what happens with that as well.

I notice that I get that if I eat things that are not too mushy like meat mainly.Its like a lump under my ribcage w/ pressure. I think its when your stomach has to work extra hard. I drank warm liquid and that seemed to help.

I can only speak for myself and i had no fear whatsoever. I did my research and the biggest thing to do is to make sure after your surgery WALK!!! That is the one thing that made it so there was practically no pain. I didnt even take vicoden or anything just walked. Anything else dont hesitate to ask.

WALK WALK WALK :whoo:

Make sure you walk walk walk the gas out so you wont be sorry. Trust me , I walked every 4 hrs in the hospital and my recovery was awsome! i also brought my laptop to the hospital and i was able to get to this laptalk as well. Good luck!

I use bacitracin and that helps the healing as well!!An you dont have to ingest it.

Ty I feel much better today!Onward!!

so now i was dumn and i ate some non-mushie items because they went down with no problem. Now I have a lump of moderate pain under my port/ribcage. any ideas how to get rid of it quickly?

ok so it is probably my port then , thanks guys
