Please add me! I am losing..........slowly! April 27th highest.surgery.current.goal 185.depending on clothes.178.165.101

Hey, thanks sooooooooooo much you guys! I went back to work today, and there was food everywhere. 30 minutes seems much more reasonable. I'll ask my dr. next time I see him, but I keep on emailing him about port pain (I think that is what it is) and other random paranoias. I think I can do this. Marimaru and Donna B--Thanks sooooooooooo much!!!!!

Someone please tell me that I'm going to be okay. I was eating dinner out today (tortilla soup broth). Had a little pain, but I think it was due to the booth I was sitting in. I come home, and the area around my left incision, mainly below my rib cage HURTS. It isn't super painful, but I was poking around, and swear I could feel something hard. Is that my band or my port? I'm wondering if it was my port but am totally wierded out. Please advise! I got banded a week ago tomorrow. thanks!

I have a question for those of you on solid foods...do you eat your meal in a specific timeframe? I was told by my physician to eat my whole meal in 10-15 minutes....?

ew yuck I have these terrible hiccups that rock me to the core!!! I'm only 3 days out.....any advice? I'm scared to death that my band could slip each time I hiccup.:help:

meeeeeeeeeeeee tooo am dying of hunger. want anything. anything. I'll be praying for you. My family is eating turkey sandwiches right now. I want to kill them.

I got banded and feel crappy. granted it was thursday (three days ago) but I am dying of hunger and this clear liquid diet SUCKS. I certainly hope this was worth it.............

i realized as soon as i put un my mouth. i don't want to pb any advice is a[[reciated!

i got banded 2 days ago and just ate a little (like 1.5 bites) of pie crust, an am having the worst pain of mylife in my hsoulder. is this normal. iswear i swear i'll never eat again in the liquid phase solid food. something just over came me. tried to wash down with some jello and gatorate. please help!!!

Anyone else?

how bad were yours? how many did you have? How long did they take to go away?

when my company gets taken over soon. If I don't have my band put in by them, do they cover the cost of fills? Anyone had this experience? What do ins companies normally do?

I am oging to be banded by dr. aceves in a couple weeks but would like a contact in the United States. No one in my fam (or my friends) know I am getting banded. The stigma is too much.

No one in my family knows I am having it done. I don't think they would understand. I am a healthy eater, but have had some hip and knee problems and can't get my weight down! I am a little nervous, but ready...what is it like post operatively? Do you really think I can go home and resume a normal activity level within a few days? :uwelcome:

um this might sound bad, but what happens? And how large is your incision? I am curious...Thanks!

really, does anyone have any adverse complications with dr. aceves? I haven't heard anything! I am also curious about post operatively, when a band slips, what happens? Is this a dire emergency or what's the deal? I am scheduled to go in 2 weeks, am active, and am wondering how long/laid up people were...please advise thanks :Banane04:
