  3. I had my first fill May 28. And my Doctor won't tell me how much he is putting in the band. I just know it hurt and with all the pain I was in I would hope I would feels more restriction. I feel like I could eat anything and everything. And I can't go back for 4 weeks. Will I start feeling something soon?
  4. What about before you all got your first fill. At least what I can tell you all already had your first fill. I go next week for my first fill and I hope that helps because right now I fell like I never get full. Did you all feel like that before you got your fill?

  6. Barbie are you losing weight right now? Do you just eat three small meals a day. I feel like I drink to much (water and decaf ice tea) I haven't learn to sip yet. But I feel like that is all I do is drink.
  7. Hello all you April Bandsters Well it has been 8 days since I got banded. And I still have gas pains in my shoulders. Plus for the last two days I want to eat. I don't get my first fill until the end of the month. Can anyone tell me what you did from the time you had your surgery until your first fill. I don't want to put weight back on.
  8. Here is his number 901-726-1056 Dr. William Gibson at St Francis. Call him and find out you will really like him. Because I not sure if he does. You also may want to check with Dr. Virginia Weaver she is also at St Francis her number is 901-765-3040
  9. Well I made it. I didn't do good in surgery. They said I was in so much pain they had to give me so much pain meds during and after surgery. They said in recovery I would hold my breath everytime I would have a pain. Then they gave me so much pain meds that I couldn't go to the bathroom. I didn't think I was ever going to get out of there. I'm doing better now I guess. Still alot of gas. I have been walking all around my house and outside and I get up in the middle of the night and walk. Now tomorrow I can start eating pureed food I am little scared about that I haven't eaten in 4 days. I don't even feel like I want to eat. Well I hope everyone else is doing good. The month is over so we all have done it. Again I hope everyone is doing great. And good luck with the Independence Day Challenge.

  11. Good Morning to everyone well only a couple more days and we will all be done. OMG I can not believe my turn is tomorrow I am so nevrous. But I know this is what I need. Today is going to be a real fun day, liquids only all day. I am keeping my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter today to keep me busy ( she may not want to go home after eating jello and popsicle all day)lol. Congrats to everyone that has been banded already. I hope everyone is doing great. Talk to you all real soon.
  12. Hello Tina ok this is what I know about the whole smoking thing. Lap Band surgery is an Elective Surgery. And that is why there can do anything they want. Not saying that is a bad thing. And I say that because I am an ex-smoker know next week will be 3 months. And it was hard very hard I am 48 and have been smoking for 33 years. And I also wanted to quit so Surgery or Smoke. I pick surgery I want to lose weight more then anything else in this world. Plus I want to see my 7 grandchildren as they get older. Tina you can do it and trust me I know it is not easy. Talk to your Doctor I did and she gave me something to take the edge off. Good Luck
  13. Well I am one step closer to the prize. I had my pre-op testing done today. My date is April 29. And I am getting very very nervous. :smile:
  14. I need to start off by saying Thanks to everyone that reply on Lap Band Forum. It has help so much just to sit back and read and ask questions and have you nice people answer them. I have 9 days left (counting today) of the liver shrink diet and than 1 day of clear liquids. And then the big day (April 29). But today is going to be hard, tomorrow is my husband birthday so all my kids and grandkids are coming over for a cook out. I love cooking out. All that food plus cake I know I can do it ( just keep telling myself that )lol My husband was thinking about me he made sure he got chicken for me. Thanks for listening
  15. Hello this has nothing to do with Lap Band But I saw Chapman Medical Center and said to myself I know that name My son was born there 28 years ago.
