Yes! I got my band last December on the holiday period and again started my fills early December the timing isn't great but probably a good thing that way I don't eat too much over the holidays! Lol! OMG I remember the gas pain for some silly reason I got referred pain through my shoulders and still do if I eat too much I know that's definitely a sign to stop! Yes sounds like you need a fill! When do you go back to your doctor? do you know how much fluid he put in ur band during the operation? I started off at 3mls I am in Australia so might be different where you are!

Hello the professor! Thanks so much for taking time to read my message I'm so excited to have people to share my experience with! Congratulations on getting banded! So far I have been so happy with my surgery decision so at the moment are you still on liquids? How are you finding it post op? I found that scrambled eggs and avocado were my best friends in the early days!

Hello! My name is Simone 24 married with two babies 16 months old and 3 month old! I have always struggled with my weight throughout childhood into adulthood! When I was pregnant with my first daughter Victoria I reached 140kgs and developed gestational diabetes after I had her I made the decision to be banded! I met with the surgeon and scheduled the surgery for early December 2013 I then found out after losing a few kgs I was pregnant with my son! So my weight loss journey was put to a holt while I was growing my baby boy I gd to get the Fluid removed due to myself losing too much weight for the pregnancy the general surgeon that removed the fluid may have damaged my port so I am currently putting fluid in and my band surgeon will let me know next week Tuesday if I have to get my port replaced I currently have 4.5ml in my band and finally feeling restriction I am weighing in at 119KGs after my pregnancy! I cannot wait to start my journey again and get into double figures! I hope I can get a buddy to go through our journeys together ! Thanks for reading!
