I live in Indiana. Iwas banded 1-19-09 and it's been hard. I just can't seem to find the happy ground.I've been filled 2x the 1st one was 2cc and the 2nd was 1cc but got sick so I had to have 1/2cc taken out last wk now I don't feel full again.When will I get to my sweet spot? I've lost a total of 30lbs since Dec.08. I go to the gym 3x a wk and do at least 30 mins of cardio. So please help....

Does anyone go to TEAM bariatrics? If so what has been your experience?

I was just banded 1-19-09.I have the same problem. I have gas all the time and I burp all the time.My Dr. said I need to slow down. Even if I think I'm going slow she said slow it down more.So we'll see if this helps me..Another problem I have is I feel no restriction at all.So I really have to watch how much and how slow I eat.So good luck....

Hi I'm from Valparaiso In and I'm looking for an exercise partner. If your interested please let me know.

I was just banded 1-19-09. I was a fast food/junk food junkie. I was quit surprised when I took my kids to Mc D's that it didn't really bother me as much as I expected. I hope it gets to were I don't even care if I eat it.

Hi everyone I'm new here. I live in Valparaiso,IN. Iwas just banded 1-19-09. If anyone live near me and whats to talk email me. I'm looking for support in my area.

Thanks everyone. I am walking all the time. It's not gas from anastishia anymore I don't think. I think it's just gas. The burping is all the time. As for meals,I'm ready to eat anything in site.It's so hard.But I did see the nurse the other day and her and the nutritionist put me on stage 3 for the food.So I do get egg and some tuna along with pureed meats(which I can't get myself to do) So we'll see.

I was just banded 1-19-09. I'm hungry all the time. If I didn't have the cuts or pain to show I had surgery I would never know. I see the surgeon next Thurs.Does anyone feel this way or felt this way right after surgery? Another question is I have gas and burp all the time.Is this normal? I Know the gas is but the burps and gas are all the time. I thought the gas would of passed by now since it's been over a week now.Thanks....

Wow I think your doing great.Maybe you need a fill.When was your last one? Also maybe you can attend a support group in your area for bariatric patients.Keep up the great work.

Thanks... I will ask tomorrow what to do.I see the Dr then.

I'm looking for people near me in Northwest Indiana, do you live in Indiana?

I was just banded 1-19-09 and they repaired my hernia. It's not a big deal.The best part in no heartburn.... :w00t:

Good luck with your colonoscopy. I hope they will find something. I had similar pain before I was banded and they never found a cause but I changed my diet and things got better.Let us know how the test goes.

Anyone from Northwest Indiana?

My incisions itch like crazy. Has anyone had this problem?If so what do you do or use to stop it?

Thanks for the support. That sounds good sharons.

I also like those as well. I also found slim fast high protein that's not to bad. Good luck....

Hello I'm new here. I was banded on Jan.19th 2009. I'm still having some pain by the port area.Also I'm still hungry all the time.I'm following the liquid diet.I can't wait for a fill so I'm not so hungry.Well I can't wait to get to know everyone and hear your success stories.

I was just banded Jan.19 and the gas isn't to bad if you just walk. The weather here is cold and snow so I go to the store and just walk or even go to the mall.My biggest problem is the port area is so sore.When does that stop hurting?
