JenP

I am 15 days post and down 9 lbs. I think I lost 4 the first week.

It could be from not eating but I feel like I am getting enough food in. When I was at my parents house yesterday I was really really hungry... but i had 2 eggs for breakfast and this was just a few hours later. I am definately going to tell the dr tomorrow. Thanks for the responses!

I was banded on 4/14 and since have not had any problems. Yesterday I was in the car with friends and my husband and my husband was in the middle of screaming about something and at the same time I was eating cold cuts. I was chewing them throroughly and then everything went black and I felt like I was having an anxiety attack. Its like a faded out and then everything came back into focus really slowly and everything was bright. I thought that it was because my husband was screaming so I dismissed it. Then today I went to my parents house and was eating provolone cheese. The next thing I know I am on the kitchen floor. I opened my eyes and then threw up the cheese I had just been eating. Is this a PB? Or am I passing out? I have a dr appointment tomorrow but in the meantime I am reading about the PB's and am wondering if this is what it is?

Hey everyone. My name is Jen. i live in New Jersey. I was banded by Montclair Surgical Associates on Monday, April 14, 2008. Unfortunately, I hadnt weighed myself since February 14 prior to the surgery and I think I gained some weight since then up until the banding. But I went to the doctor today and I am down 5 pounds since then, so it might be more than 5 since the surgery. Looking forward to posting here with other banders as we make progress.
