I know that you are not supposed to have any carbonated beverages, but this works for me! Just don't tell my doctor! Diet coke with ice--LOT OF ICE-- let it stand for about 5 minutes and then sip it slowly! It sounds watered down and flat, but when you haven't had it for what seems like forever, its awesome!

I was banded on Nov. 21 and I have the 14cc band and I have nothing in it right now! I am still hungry all the time! Its like I don't even have the band in! I lost 11 pounds the first week and since then have gained 2 pounds. My doctor hasn't got back to me about how soon we can do a fill! But I think its 6 six weeks! I only know people who have the 5cc band and they don't understand why I'm hungry at this point. Is anyone else feeling this way??

Due to complications during my surgery, mine is about 3 inches below my right breast on my rib cage.

I was banded on the 21st and yesterday I had this awful pain in my stomach. Deep down it felt like a hunger pain and it made this horrible grumble but I had been eating and drinking all day. I'm assuming that it was from the gas because today I feel like a different person and haven't had any of those pains.
