I usually take emetrol.

Hi..I was banded on June 2 and had my first fill on Friday. It didn't hurt at all. The only feeling I had was when my Dr. put three ccs in, she withdrew one because I felt a tighness in my chest. I do have more restriction than before but I know I will need a fill again.

Congrats! One question thoughm what is your secret to that great success???

I had three section in the last five years, and I thought the first 2 days after lapband were way worse than my sections. I actually had to tkae pain meds for the lapband.

I just had the day before surgery prep. None of this 6 month preop diet I keep reading about...

I know what you mean with the smell of food. I have 3 small children and they are not dieting! So cooking for them had to become my husband's permanent job until it didn't phase me anymore. Now I am used to it and they are liking protein shakes! Have a good day!

Good luck to ya'll on the surgery...ya'll will do great. Some posts are kind of discouraging with the slow weight loss, but we will do fine. Keep us posted!

Hi....I am ALyssa. I live in South Louisiana...Zachary to be exact. I have alot of family in Shreveport. Anyway, I was banded on june 2....so far pretty good. I am noticing I have less restriction though so I am going in fo rmy first fill on July 18. Hopefully this will work for me. Do you have any restriction?

I am glad to hear there are success stories. Reading these forums sometimes makes me think what in the world did I do??

I am from Baton Rouge, live in Zachary now. I got banded by Dr. Hargroder - - - He is so awesome!:wink_smile:

I was on liquids for the first week, but I was still thirsty. I am drinking a little more often, but now I am on yogurt, shakes, pudding, and tuna! I will let you know if I find a solution to my problem. And good luck to you!

Hi everyone. I am new to the site and to being banded. I was banded on June 2 in Baton ROuge, Louisiana. So far pretty good....I just stay thirsty. And I have noticed in the last 2 days that I am getting hungry and 2 ounces of yogurt/pudding isn't cutting it for me. Any suggestion???:confused2:
