I finally got my first fill today. 4 cc in a realize band. My doctor did not give me any water to test it, but I am at the office now and tested it myself so far so good. I was orginally scheduled for 5/12 and my doctor never showed up, so I am happy I got the fill now. What is so strange is that before I even got a fill I was PB all the time, then about a week ago it stopped. I hope with this fill I do not start that again.

Hello Everyone...surgery date 3-30 27 pds down to date. I am at 198 goal 150

Hey everyone I am so disappointed. I had waited for 6 weeks to get my fill. I went the the office at my appt time 7 this morning and waited until 8:50, then they came in and said oh he had a meeting this morning, can you wait about 2 more hours. I already had some other issues going on so I let them have it. If I would have shown up even 15 or 20 mins late they would not have seen me, but they expected me to wait.!!!!! so I did not get my fill today. I am so disappointed.:mad2:

I will keep everyone updated after the fill. I chew my food up really good is just after I eat it fills like it just sits there. Then I feel like I have to throw up but when I go to the bathroom to throw up, foods never comes up I just be gagging and a lot of saliva comes up.

Hey Life starts now, I am having the same issue and I have not even had a fill yet. I suppose to get my first fill on tuesday may 12 but I am a little worried, because I am barley eat anything now. I am always gagging.

Hello everyone I was banded on 3/30/09. I was orginally 226 I am now 200 pds....yeah I would like to be under 200 pds by my daughters senior graduation on 5/18/09

To Big Momma is Shrinking......Thank you so much for being such a positive voice on this form.....THANK YOU

Hello Everyone: I am so shocked that everyone is able to eat before the fill, I do not get my fill until 5/12, but I can barley eat like I already have some restriction, sometimes it is frustrating because I can eat a tiny bit and fill like I need to throw up and when I do I just be gagging no food coming up just a lot of saliva.

Hey TomJerry- I see you have had to fills. How are you feeling? Do you have any restriction?

Hi Xandriacharlee, Copy and paste your URL information off of the ticket page and paste it in your signature. I think that is what I did. I have been very afraid to eat scared of things getting stuck, I have tried, eggs, fish and chicken. I would really like to eat some steak. I am really struggling with getting enough protein and calories in a day. Are you drinking protein shakes everyday?

THANKS Shellynnrn........That gave me some hope!!! I just love this forum, I know I can always find the answers to my questions, with some positive support.

Hello everyone......I had surgery on 3/30 my stomach is bigger now than it was before surgery. Is this true for anyone else,my stomach just seems so big and bloated. This is the MAIN part of my body that I want gone....

Does anyone have this issue. After I eat no matter what it is I burp for about 15 mins. It drives me crazy.

HI Xandriacharlee, I was also banded on 3/30, I would love for us to be support buddies :sneaky:

shoes I was just banded on 3/30 and I keep getting a weird feeling off and on just like that. Hi Laura hate you had to go thru all of that today, so how did the fill actually feel or were u numb?

I just wanted to give everyone an update. I am on day 7 banded on Monday 3/30. I just wanted to post this so if anyone else goes thru what I went thru they will know u will get thru it. The first 5-6 days WERE pure hell for me, I MEAN I HURT bad, but guess what I woke up today and I feel WONDERFUL. SO just remember if you have the surgery and are feeling MISERABLE it will pass keep your head up.....Conetha:thumbup:

Good Luck Peas.....!!!!!

Hey laura, thanks for all your help. I was banded on monday 3/30 so I am one week post op. I went to the doctor on friday and he stated it was ok to start yogert so I figure if it is ok to start yogert, per their sheet this part of my week 3 items. My doctor stated 2 weeks post op clear liquids only. weeks 3 and 4 soft foods like, yogert, eggs, vegetables, soups, refried beans etc. I figure if he is allowing me to go ahead and start yogurt which is part of week 3 and not week 2, I should be able to go ahead and proceed with all items on week 3. I guess what really confuses me is that all of the docotors are so different with the rules, it seem that it would be just one set.

Laura thank you thank for you message, I do not care how long it was...It was very informative!!!!!! Laura were you told to be on liquids for one week or 2 weeks after surgery? I am trying to figure out what the big deal would be if I started my mushies.

Hi all, I just wanted to update everyone. I am feeling so much better when I posted the other days 2 days post op, I thought I was not going to make it. I feel so much better I can sit up and not feel dizzy. I guess I am on the road to recovery. Counting the day of surgery 3-30 I am 4 days post op....and finally feeling a little better towards the road of recover

I was banded this morning, please tell me I did not make the wrong decision. I am hurting so bad, I do not want to discourage anyone but I need some help, I am hurting hurting, I can barley walk. I have threw up 3 times, please someone help me. Did anyone else feel this way? Does anyone have any tips for me

Amy thanks so much for the feedback. I like the idea of snowcones. It is just so hard with 5 children and a husband I keep smelling all that good food.

YAYYY 3/30 is one day away.......I am getting a little scared but I know that is just my nerves. I do have question I am suppose to be on liquids...Do anyone think it would be a problem if I had one boiled egg. I am so hungary and to think I will be on liquids the next 2 weeks......Please give me your feedback.... Thanks:blushing:
