My husband was very supportive of me having the surgery, and "all that went with it". He started to eat healthier, he opted to join the health club with me, has bragged about my weight loss thus far and took me shopping. However, when the real work begins is when he starts getting all attitude! He wants to go visit friends and I need to get the small amount of food in that I can have and I can't rush it, yet here he is like an impatient child waiting for me to finish eating. I get nauseous and sick on a day we have plans and next thing you know he is arguing with me about it! I am trying to re-assure him that once I get to about 2 months post op I should have a pretty good handle on my diet and food intake and schedule but until then things can just be up in the air from time to time, which he "says" he understands till the day comes when it actually happens and then I feel like I'm dealing with my sons toddler years all over again!!! SMH!!! OK sorry, rant over but just needed to vent. My husband was like that at first, however that nauseous and sick feelings hang around long after 2 months. I've had my lap band for 7 years now I still throw up and I still have that sick feeling days. As for hubby he just deals with it and now really doesn't complain now.

Not really, unless I was laying down. Doctor would touch it and "say we have a hill here", and I'd "say nope just a port she's over here".

Here in the US most fills are done with barium and x-ray.... I'm self pay with true results I only pay $75.00 I'm also in Houston,TX

True Results..... they have programs! They also will help you get approval. I used care credit.

I was banded 7.10.08 lost 75 pounds got pregnant /baby 2012 and gained about 25 back now filled to 7cc in a 10 cc band and lost 12 pounds.

Fish and soft meat should be your goto for a while, it wasn't till about year 3 that I could eat steak, even then it has to be med rare and just off the grill.

Ughhh!!! So tight with congestion, I'm currently taking zirtec. I'm having to be on liquids, even mushies aren't going down. Anyone having the same issues? How are you dealing? I'm really sad that my normal methods like hot liquids aren't helping. I'm seriously considering a slight unfil.

I was pregnant with my port right above my navel, I had no problems with it during pregnancy or showing when I lost weight.

I had trouble with beef, with the exception of ground. Sometimes pork, I've found if it's too dry or overcooked it will be hard.

Yes I have, I think I was just overly sensitive that day. On the other hand it had been a full 2 year's since I've had a fill.

My goal was to have a baby! I have her now, so now it's just to be healthy.
