I am having the same symptoms,nausea and lots of mucas at night and slept sitting in the chair last night. Needless to say i am now severly sleep deprived and still nauseous. I decided to call and speak to a nurse at my band Dr. office and she thinks I need a little unfill. I think I held off on calling(had my fill last mon.morn) because that's what I knew they would say. I was banded on Feb.5th 09 and have had small fills each month since then. I have also has 2 previous small unfills. It seems as though my stomach is very sensitive. We all want that "magic" fill,and i am grateful for the 70lbs I have lost.It is definatly not fun to feel bad.I even had to miss work on a few occasions. Thanks for listening!:thumbup::frown:

Just a quick Hello!!! My name is COLEEN as well. You don't see this spelling very often,so when I do I always feel a "connection" Good luck on your journey,I was banded Feb 5th!

:wub:I seem to have a hard time with fresh strawberries of all things.No matter how well I chew! Anyone else?

I really like the Yoplait lite yougurt.They are a little larger and have 100 calories.

so ok,this may be a dumb question,but can you eat popcorn? I was banded on Feb.5th and have had 1 fill . Just curious,I haven't had any(YET). Thanks

How is food getting stuck,my Dr.says liquids only for 2days after fills

Thanks all for the reassurance! I feel much better this morning!

:tt1:Hey all,I had my first fill yesterday and had 4cc put in.It felt very wierd,and then I had to drink 3 small cups of water before going home,ell,after a few sips I started getting pain sooo bad in my upper chest and I could burp sort of. I tried and tried but it almost felt like I was short ofbreaath and I couldn't even swallow my own saliva! I had to have 1.5 cc removed! I'm so bummed! Has anyone else had that experience???:thumbup:

Hey there! I am also a Feb.5th bandster. I too can only have clear liquids plus my protein drinks for 3 more weeks. It gets frustrating but then I try to think about the BIG picture! I had my 1 week post op follow up today and everythings good. I return to work next Tuesday on light duty. I hope you all are good too! YEAH TO US!!!!!!!!!

I haven't heard from any Feb.5th folks since before surgery.How's everyone doing?:thumbup:

Hi Julie! I am also Feb.5th...YIPPEEEE for us! :drool: Coleen

YEAH!!!!!to all of us! I am Feb.5th also!

I got a call from Dr.6 days after insurance was submitted and scheduled a surgery day and all of my preop test and psych.eval.

Wow...we have the same surgery date! The countdown is on! Have you watched any of the You Tube videos regarding Lap Band? There are a few people that I have been following on their journey.Have also read some great info!
