  1. I forgot to add, During this ordeal, I did lose 5 lbs, not a pleasant way to lose though. I told my husband I lost 5 lbs of spit. LOL
  2. I had the same thing. I went Tuesday morning for my 3rd fill. My dr. put me at 5cc’s. I drank my water fine. Left the dr. office and was driving home when I felt like I had to burp. I threw up, not only once but 4 times on my way home. Nothing went down not even my own saliva. I called my husband to come home and take me back to the dr. Dr. took out .5cc. I drank my water fine at the dr. but when I got home at evening I had some slim fast, it came right up. by this time the dr. office was closed and I didn’t think if I went to the emergency room no one there would know what to do. So I just suffered throwing up every 30 mins.all night long until the next morning, I called the dr.office and told them I was on my way back again. The dr. unfilled me, I have to wait until Nov 18th to get filled again.

  5. I told me boss and coworkers I was getting stomach surgery and that I needed 3 weeks off. I have short term disability insurance so it wasnt a problem. No one asked anything else about the surgery. Now I am back working ( light duty ) everyone just ask how do I feel. I was banded July 7th.
  6. I was banded on July 7th. So far counting the pre -opt liquid diet I have lost 15lbs. On July 22nd My doctor said it was too much to fast, he wanted me to eat small amounts more often. As of this morning, I have not lost anymore since July 22<SUP>nd</SUP>. I also have been eating correctly but I am slacking on the walking. I have only been walking 15 minutes to 20 minutes 3 days a week. My next doctors visit is Aug 19th. I could use some suggestions also.
  7. I am getting banded July 7th by Dr. Rehrig at Walter Reed.
