just wondering, since i am newly banded 5/22, when everyone refers to the fills and more restriction, does it feel like I feel now. i feel very restricted, nauseated .

I too was banded on 5/22. and have had the same reactions as you mentioned. when I awoke this morning I was ready to call my md and see when this thing could come out. I dont have pain, only nausea and diarrhea. still not sure what i have done and if it doesn't get better how i can have it removed. i am very sad.

JoJoBanana, I just read your response (although it been here awhile) and wanted to say thankyou.. i was feeling a little like the person that wanted her band removed and what have I done. This website has really helped me today in more ways then I can even recognize. thanks to all

I really enjoyed your response to the lady that was banded recently. I too was banded on 5/22 and am having a heck of a time adjusting. Today , so far, I feel better then yesterday. I just feel like I am waking from a fog and asking myself "what have I done" as if I didn't know what I was doing.. I too am worried about getting sick due to being around others that are sick... do the md's want to be contacted if we start vomiting with a GI bug?

lexy, i was also banded on 5/22 and have had some of the same problems. mainly i have this feeling of having something foreign in my stomach. i am on full liquid diet now , but cant seem to find anything to eat. the diarrhea is all i have had and pressure upper stomach... i wonder if this is normal???

i had my surgery 5/22, and i have asked myself the same question that your husband asked. i feel like crap. very bloated, nauseated and sore.. are you having any of these ?

just wondering how you are feeling? i was banded on 5/22 and feel not so good. bloating and nausea... not able to drink all required and forget about the shakes

i was banded on 5/22, you sound like you are doing great.. i worry that i will never feel the same again. i have bloating, and major incisional pain. i cant get my fluids in because i am so nauseated...

hi , i was banded on 5/22 and was wondering if your still having problems with nausea and bloating?

Once you went to the seminar , what did they estimate your wait time to be? I have done everything, labs, ekg, xray, pshch. eval, wellness class, and will be at my last class tomorrow night (support group) , insurance class, mammogram, papsmear and GI clearance. My est. surgical month is June!! I think that is absolutely crazy. Did WLSC put you through so many loop holes? Just considering going across the HRBT and checking out WLSC???

Hi, the fee at nsg is $495.00. the wait time is just crazy. i think it is more admin on the dr's side then tricare. I understand that the tricare approval process is very quick. How much was the fee at wlc?

You are correct, they cover both

I also live in the tidewater area of Virginia. I was referred to the tricare site for information. I have tricare standard and the site listed the criteria for approval- 100 lbs overweight . I am going through Norfolk Surgical Group at Norfolk General ( when ever the md gets moving) are you going to use the weight loss center in Hampton? If so what is their time frame like? It is 3-5 months with nsg.
