    hunger pains? hmmmm....i feel nothing

    It took me a week to start to feel hungry. Now I am trying to differentiate between head hunger and stomach hunger. Especially on days like today when my 5 little monkeys seem to forget that we have rules here!

    OUCH!!!! it does hurt!!

    It's all the fluids they pumped into you. Keep drinking and it will go away fast! A week later and I don't look pregnant anymore. My friend who is 4 months pg and not showing was jealous!!:Banane37:

    OUCH!!!! it does hurt!!

    Yep, it hurt! I was outpatient. Surgery at 7:30 home by 11:30. I used pain killers for 2 1/2 days. I'm glad I am done and didn't know how much it would hurt!:Banane37:

    chest tightness

    I have the same thing. But I had a hiatal hernia fixed at the same time as my lapband. So that adds more to the diaphram as the hiatal hernia forms in the diaphram.....

    new new new

    Did you have a hiatal hernia fixed? I did and can really tell when I breathe deeply. The hernia goes into your diaphram, that would explain breathing issues. I am sure you'll get some answers tomorrow.

    possible dehydration?

    Definitely not enough water. Not enough calories either. If your body thinks it is starving, it will hold on to weight. I'd call your doc. and ask about it....

    Very Impatient!!!

    My dr. says 4-6 weeks
  11. HI Lisa I was banded the 5th too. I am feeling the same way. So I eat a little and wait. If I am still hungry, I eat a little more. I have an appointment on Friday and hope to get some answers. I keep reminding myself, this time is about healing, not weight loss......
  12. I didn't have to stop my antidepressents (I take effexor) Just no meds that would thin blood.....hmmmmmm

    Pre Op Testing

    I had no pre-op testing. My BMI was just under 40 and my surgeon didn't require any for under 40. I also didn't need the heprin shot for clotting for the same reason.

    8/5 Banding

    Hey all! I was banded on Tuesday. Felt rotten for couple of days, but soooo much better today. Not pain free, but able to not take any meds and function pretty well. Gas is better that I expected! How is everyone else doing??

    Caffeine????

    I think because it is an appetite stimulant

    You can do it! It is hard, I won't lie, but so worth it!!
  24. I hope everything goes well for you all!!
  25. I am a week from my surgery and starting to have neg. thoughts.... What if this doesn't work for me either?? What if I am spending a TON of money and then don't lose weight this way either? I know, if I do what I am supposed to do, I will. But it is pretty darn scary. Anyone else in this with me? Or I am I just being paranoid?:thumbup:
