I live in Arlington, near Dallas. How are things going for you? I'm home from work today..I had a rough night and another rough day on Monday. I've only returned to work 1/2 day. Hopefully will be able to go tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome....I've not been on recently because I've been having a little bit of difficulty...better now though. I'm in the DFW Metroplex area....

Hi! I've wanted to find a site where I can make friends and talk about Lap Band issues and hopefully this is the site. I was banded four days ago on the 18th. I'm doing well I think, but still have considerable pain in my chest when I breathe deeply and I suppose that it's just the CO2 in my body still. I had the Lap Band procedure because I have severe reflux called Barrett's Esophogus and my surgeon thought that Lap Band would be the answer to my prayers. (And I would lose weight in the process which would be a bonus!) I have about 70 lbs. to lose. I've lost 4-5 so far and have had nothing to eat but broth, juice, popcicles, Jello. I've also added Protein shake made with skim milk and added part of a banana liguified. Seem to do okay with it. I just still have tightness in my chest issues and still just feel a strain in that entire area. I would love to hear how others are doing and see if my experiences are similar. I don't know when I will have the fill. That's not even been discussed yet. Take care,
