Finally getting around to posting. Banded 2/15 Dr. Carter Arlington, TX -16 pounds!!!:clap2: Debra

Hi Sue I live in Arlington and had to self pay. It was $15,000 with Dr. Richard Carter. I liked him a lot.

I am sooo glad I read this. I was getting carried away just a little. I am hungry about every 2 hours and it is driving me crazy. Kennedy 927 you cracked me up with your tuna sandwich. I went to lunch 8 days out (La Madelines) figured I could have some of their wonderful soup. Well the bread sticks looked great and the quiche looked fabulous. It was really the flacky crusts I was looking at! I ate the soup and just a little piece of the breadstick. Took the quiche back with me. My friend had a salmon pastry thing with a wonderful crust. I ate the crust. Took some back with me. Was feeling really cocky. Oooh "they" said I couldn't eat bread and I did and it went down just fine. Then I read these posts!!! :scared: I deceided I better slow back down! But it sure did taste good.

Thanks for the info. I did get some gas X last night and that seemed to help. I woke up this morning feeling much much better. The port area is just sore still. More annoying than anything now. My chest, I guess sternum actually is still a little sore also. I started a little soft foods last night and am trying that today to see if that will help me feel not so sleepy. These sites are great. Lots of info and very helpful. Already lost 15 pounds! Of course that is all liquids but it's a great jump start!

Hi my name is Debra. I just had surgery on Feb 15. I am doing ok still a little sore. The port is a real pain in the --- side :confused:. I do have one question. I've been reading the posts and hear everyone talking about the gas pain. This may be a real newbie question but how do you know for sure if it is gas pains or just being too full? I feel hungry but have that pressure in my chest like I am full. I am on liquids still. Thanks for the info.
