I am going for my first fill this Friday and I am not really quite sure what to expect. Does it hurt? How do they know how much to add? I appreciate any advice. Thanks!!

Hi all. I myself am going thru the same thing. I was banded on July14th. With the pre & post op diets I have lost only 15lbs. I am eating small portions and exercising as well everyday. I am very frustrated that the scale is not moving either. My 1st fill is not until Sept 5th. I also could use some advice.... Thanks!!

Hi! I am going to the dr on wed for my 1st visit since being banded. I am on liquids since the hospital and hope to move to the new phase of foods. Can anyone tell me what they were allowed to eat in the 2nd phase of foods or "pureed" as they call them. Thanks for your help...

Hi everyone. I was banded this past Monday the 14th and I am feeling pretty good. The worst pain is the air pocket in my shoulder which comes and goes. I am trying to walk as much as possible and are following the liquid diet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks..:cool2:

I am being banded Monday am with Dr.Vohra. I was wondering if anyone else has used him as well. Any advice would be greatly appreacied. Thanks...lol

Sorry for the delsay in getting back to you...I had a hard time finding the thread. I finished today with everything... I want this to be over..I am sooo hungry. This liquid diet is killing me. I will probably wear a pair if loose fitting capris to the hospital. Did u get ur Surgery time? My is at 1p but, I am told it can change. Have you heard from many people what recovery is like? Keep me posted on all. Hope-

I am also having my sureger july 14th. I have been on a 2 week liquid diet as well & it has been hard. I agree the icepops are a big help....I am going for my pre-op testing today.

I am also scheduled for the 14th as well. The liquid diet is very had. I am having a terrible day today on just the liquids...

Good for u & keep up the good work.... I am being banded on Monday...I am excited and really nervous...

Thanks all for your advice!!

I am being banded July 14th. I am very nervous and excited. I am very interested in how people are doing with returning back to everyday food...
