I never had licocane for my fills don't need them there is no pain,when I saw the needle I was scared but a paper cut hurts more.:blushing:

Kate Soooooooooooooooooo glad someone else felt like I feel right now.Still looking for sweet spot.Only had 2 fills I'm 4.2 in a 10 cc band.

Hi Brandy I'm on paxil,didn't notice any weight gain but I do have the other side effects I was really sick when I started taking paxil,it lasted about 3 weeks lost 20lbs but soon gained that back once i was not sick.I think paxil saved my life because I now feel so normal.I think I was depressed all my life and didn't know what was wrong.I like you have generations of family depression.It spiraled out of control once I hit forty.Hang there we'll get through it.I wonder if the meds are the reason I don't feel full for so long.:thumbup:

Had my first fill as well last tuesday and still feel no restriction,boooooooooo I have to wait 2 weeks for another.I can eat anything and everything,never been nauseated not even after surgery.lost 24lbs but nothing the past 2 weeks.ai keep losing and gaining the same few lbs.I just want that full feeling again like after surgery.Good luck everyone in our next month.It would be nice if we could all fine our sweet spot

hi I was banded mar25 and like you I was lucky and had no nausea at all I was hungry and did do soft foods by 2 weeks my dr. said I could.I can tell you once my swelling went down I was able to eat alot more and felt full for about 4 hours.By week 4 I could eat everything including all the things that banded people should have trouble with.I had 1 fill and still no restriction i can still eat everything.I hope more fills will fix this I want that full feeling again like the first few days after surgery.Don't be to hard on your self none of us are prefect try to get back on track and don't look back just ahead to this new chapter in your life.:blushing: Pat

I felt like i was pregnant again,I found it felt like the baby moving.It was like something crawling inside you.It will get better:smile2:

Hi I was banded mar25 and did not have to have a psych evaluation.I think that is only required if insurance is paying and people from the US for surgery

Hi I was a self pay $16000 and had mine done in Mississauga.I only had to wait 5 weeks and did not have to do anything else expect pre-op diet.This clinic is wonderful and I had a great team.Dr. Mummford did my band. I had a speedy recovery with no problems at all.Looking forward to my first fill in a few weeks

I have been very lucky and have little pain anywhere,just a little tenderness.I have not been nausated at all.I'm on soft foods now and doing fine I have no problem eating the cup of food.I do feel full but it does not last for 4 hours.I guess i will need to be filled in a few weeks.My dr. says then I should only be able to hold about 2ozs or a 1/4 cup. has this been anyothers experience.

does anyone know if sneezing can cause band slippage.I have been sneezing all day and i'm only 2 weeks post-op

I'm from Newfoundland /Canada.I am a foster parent and Mom and have been both for 26 years.I was banded mar 25 and don't feel much of anything never experienced any nausea and very little gas.I can still burp hope nothing slipped

I was banded mar25,I am doing great I never had any nausea and very little gas.I have none now and I can burp and drink pop.Does this mean something is not right with my band. My mini goal would be for my wedding rings to fit again I have no idea how long that will be
