  1. Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I been on here. I went back to my lap band dr. Yesterday cause I gained weight recently due to new medications I'm on for anxiety and depression. I haven't had a fill in almost 2 years cause my weight was staying the same. He gave me a fill yesterday and I don't feel hungry at all which is great but...I keep burping when I drink Water and I was waking up coughing last night. I am able to swallow my meds but my stomach feels weird and my back feels weird too like they are both hurting a little. Can my band be too tight? Any help will be appreciated thanks.

  2. I can swallow water tea and even soda. I tried soda to help bring it up but when i throw up nothing is coming up really
  3. I woke up in the middle of the night and this morning feeling like something is stuck. I had some of my son's gummy bears before bed. (I know dumb move) n now i have so much pain especially everytime when i swallow my salivia. Idk what to do. Please help
  4. Dr. Schwack is excellent!
  5. Hi everyone tomorrow is gonna be 3weeks post op for me and my 2nd day on solids. Tomorrow i have an appt with my Dr. I wanted to know if anyone has ever gotten a fill 3 wks post op? I feel i am doing ok. I feel sorta satisfied with a cup of foods. I dont think i should get 1 cause maybe it will be too soon cause it is gonna be my 2nd day on solids.. If anyone can give me any input i would apreciate it. ThAnks!

    You look great!
  7. Hi everyone! Today i just started solids and when i ate lunch after about 10minutes of chewing my food well i kept burping...is that a bad thing? I burped like 4 times in a row. Is burping like a sign of feeling satisfied? I didnt finish my whole lunch but ate most of it. I hope its normal the burping. Tomorrow i have an appt to see my Dr. But i doubt he will fill me since tomorrow will only be my 2nd day on solids. Also did anyone ever get filled after 3weeks post op?!?? If anyone can give me your input i would really appreciate it. Thanks
  8. Hey Hely88 i got banded in oct 2007 and i just got rebanded on march 1st. My band had a leak and they didnt know where the leak was coming from so my dr. Rebanded me
  9. Hey everyone I got rebanded march 1st and since my surgery...i only lost 4 lbs! Is this normal? I been on mushy foods since last monday and I am taking in only about 600 calories a day! I don't understand! Why am I not losing weight!? I am really upset about all of this! I thought from being on liquids and mushy foods would make me lose weight how i did on my preop diet! I lost 10lbs on my preop diet. Its just confusing to me. Did everyone go through what i am going through? Is this normal?
