I had LBS 12-19-07, I had my third fill 2/20/08. I'm somewhat confused because there are a majority of things I can't eat(or have a major problem with). It seems so weird, I don't really get a "full" feeling. It seems the only time I know when to stop is when I'm ready to thow up(I dont know if thats what everyone refers to as PB). On the other hand there are some things(unfortunately) I can eat alot of wiith no problem(re: potatoe chips, cookies, go figure). I don't know if I should get another fill or not. Any suggestion would be appreciated, Thanks...

I have had two fills of which I think were both 3cc 's. My questions is this: I can eat some things and after a small portion have to stop because I get that not being able to digest thing going on. Sometimes if I dont chew enough or eat to fast I get sick and go through the siliming and thowing up. I cannot tolerate Pasta at all. But then there are some things I can eat with no problem and eat as much as I want(which is usually more than I should) . I was scheduled to get a fill tomorrow and cancelled the appointment. Can anyone relate or make any suggestions as to wether I should get another fill. Thanks............... Michelle :biggrin:

Hi: I received my 2nd fill last week and do (Thank God) have restriction. It seems I cannot tolerate pasta. I had a lean cuisine today for lunch(fettucinne & chicken) and had about three bites and spent the next 30 minutes sliming and if I understand it correctly PBing. Not fun. Anyone else with that problem, Thanks, Michelle:rolleyes:

Hi: I've had my second fill and got some restriction. The reason I ask what is restriction suppose to feel like is; I have certain foods that I cannot eat(Pasta, some breads) without experiencing PB, sliming & throwing up. I can eat other foods and have no problems and feel like I'm eating more than I should. My 2nd fill was on 1-24-08, should I get another fill or wait?:eek: I plan on weighing myself on Weds. so I don't know how much (if any) weight I've lost since the last fill. Thank you in advance for always getting an answer to my questions.....

You should ask your doctor. I was banded 12/19/07 and I am a "diet coke" addict.... I can still drink soda. It does not bother me. I do not drink as much as I used to; its like everything else, its different for everyone. Some people cannot tolerate soda after LPS. I recently had my second fill which gave me restriction which I'm very grateful for but I cannot eat pasta. I have no idea why....

Hi: I was banded on 12-19-07, my first fill on 1-16-08 (no restriction), I got another fill 1-24-08. I don't know if I have restriction.... what I do have is a hard time getting food down, it feels like its stuck and takes a while to get down. Is that what they mean by restriction?

What is PB?

I had surgery 12-19-07, my first fill 1-16-08 and I have "no" restriction at all. I'm going to call Monday morning and make an appointment for another fill on Wednesday I'm very disappointed and disgusted.

Hi: Glad to be part of the "fifties" group. I was banded 12-19-07 and a few people told me I was nuts to do this @ my "age". The second day after surgery was so bad I was second guessing myself. The third day I felt 100% better. I went for my first fill yesterday. I hope I get some restriction because I had none prior to the fill. I also need to start exercising. I belong to Curves and plan on starting again on Monday.

I just had my first fill yesterday and was told to take only liquids for 48 hours and then start foods. They told me if I was feeling no restriction after a week to call and make an appointment for another fill.

I had my first fill today. I lost 20 pounds prior to surgery and gained 2 pounds in the four weeks after surgery. They told me to stay on liquids for 48 hours. I did not feel anything when my Dr. did the fill, are you suppose to feel something?

Hi: My band date is 12/19/07, Im getting my first fill tomorrow. I know I am eating more than I should. Can someone tell me how to put that "tickerfactory" scale on my site? Thanks

I just love this website. Everyone is so honest and I can relate to so many of the issues. I was banded 12-19-07 and am going for my first fill tomorrow. I'm disgusted because I know I have gained weight. I was on a liquid diet for three weeks before the surgery and had no diet coke. A week after the surgery I'm drinking it like crazy again. I do agree it makes me want more to eat and drink. Can someone tell me how you put that "Ticker Factory" weight tracker on your site? Thanks

Hi: I had Lapband surgery 12-19-07 and am going for my 1st fill tomorrow, 1/16/08. I'm hoping to get some kind of restriction from this because I have NONE now and am getting very discouraged. I know I have probably gained about 2 lbs. I know I'm eating to much. I'm still hoping for restriction although alot that I read says it takes a couple fills before you can "feel" the difference. Thanks:rolleyes:

Hi, I had lapband surgery on 12-19-07 (4 days ago), I noticed a rash on my stomach which is itchie. It is not by the incisions that were made its like hip to hip at the bottom of my stomach. Is this normal? I've put some cortizone type creams on it but it didnt do much good... Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?:help: Thank you

Hi, I had surgery on 12/19/07. The day of surgery was ok, the following day was very hard, not actual pain but alot of discomfort, soreness and a hard time getting up and down and sleeping. At this point I was second guessing my decision and thinking what did i get myself into. Dont freak out... the following day I was MUCH MUCH better. Today its 4 days and I feel great. Good Luck with your surgery, God Bless
