Thanks to Everyone else as well..I do get a little worried about that pain you get when you've had one bite too many or ate the wrong thing that gets stuck....very painful. But a little at a time and patience helps. :wink2:

Thank you Bernadette for your positive and encouraging words of wisdom. I am going to call my M.D. tomorrow and find out about getting another fill. Thank you and I'll keep you posted!

I'm a March Bandster and I have not been on here in quite a awhle and after reading some of the posts I think I should have been. I'm feeling good but have only had one fill and have only lost 25 pounds since the surgery. I can pretty much eat many different things, Its strange like chips are easy to digest but pasta a big no no. I have been complacent and I think I need to call my M.D. and find out if I need a fill. There really isn't alot of follow up with the M.D. on their part so I guess I better get more proactive myself.Thanks to everyone posting I find out alot more here than I ever have from the M.D.

:confused:I was thinking I was losing too slow but it looks as though I'm about average with everyone here. I was banded on March 4 and have lost around 28 pounds so far . Its been the same for a few weeks but at least it is going in the right direction. Lately though I've been having some discomfort around my port site. It started a few weeks ago after I took a spin class I felt as though I pulled something maybe working my abs a little too hard. I called the nurse practictioner and I have been taking it easier as they recommended but not it feels like the port is loose in that area. Like when I bend over or sit too straight it feels very uncomfortable. Anyone feel like this?:crying:

Thanks for all your support IndioGirl55...your Awesome!

I started walking right away and felt great. I really think it helped with the gas pains. Since I really didn-t get any.Did anyone else get glue on their incisions instead of stiches?

Hi Just trying to figure out how to set up this ticker. I was banded on March 4 and I'm doing pretty good. Today was the first day I was able to eat a little more than usual. I was starving after a long day of shopping and ate too fast. I was ok but I could see where that would definetly be a problem especially when I get my first fill on March 23. Its a process and I will try my best to succeed.

Hi I'm getting banded on March 4....nervous,scared, and excited. I am very hopeful that this will be a new beginning for me. I live in Oceanside, Ca and would love to have a buddy to lean on.
