Thank you, thank you!!! I wish I would have read your post sooner. I throwup 2-20 times per day and have felt extremely conscious about pb at the dinner table and keeping it in my mouth until I can reach a toilet.

Besides the scars and still some minimal discomfort I can not tell AT ALL that I have been banded! I can eat just as much as before and the night after my first fill I ate 3 pieces of pizza for dinner and easily could have eaten more except I am trying to use self control and lose weight. I was banded Feb. 20th 2008 and have gained weight. Any suggestions what is wrong I feel this was a waste of money, time, and should have asked for the bypass.

I too am having problems w/ my Dr. I have zero restriction even after a fill and have had difficulty scheduling appts. Are you in So. Cal?

what is the omnipaque. I was banded in Feb. had 1 fill and have yet to feel any restriction. I too feel like a failure. Literally sadly to say I ate 3 pieces of pizza for dinner the night after my fill and could easily have eaten 3 more. I am very depressed and sort of wish I didn't get the band-it's not working for me.....

I was just banded Feb. 20 by Dr. Owens. And I am happy to say everything went fine. However, I did not see before or after surgery he did not leave any after or discharge instructions. Personally, I would find another doctor.

Oh! my I have been so hungry. I was banded on 2/20 and have been eating everyting. Chicken, chinese food last night, 1 TBL of ice cream. I think I can eat anyting and fee like I want to.
