dr david kim is amazing.............colleyville

i was banded on the 19th. Since i started the liquid pre-op diet, i have lost 30lbs........stuck at this stupid number though! ready for a fill---4/29.

You will do great! Its nothing, I promise! Talk to the dr about some surgery fears and he will take away and fears you have! And, hey! its sooooooo worth it, in the end!!

protein!!!!!!!!!!

I am RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! I got banded on the 19th and was told that i was hungry because my stomach isnt swollen and after the first fill I should feel more restricted. Hopefully thats what will happen. i am also able to eat more than 3/4c of food....I dont know what to tell you but I thought it might help you to know that someone else was in your shoes!

OK, i was banded on march 19th. I was doing really good with the post op liquids....UNTIL---my first puree'd meal. they say I should be able to eat about 3/4 c of food....and i am finding myself eating well over 1/5c and hungry 2 hours later. CAN SOMEONE HELP?? First fill isnt until end of april.

I was banded on the 19th and same thing was happening to me--------the gas pains were there totally....then I realized I was just really getting hungry. So you should be able to eat something and by the end of the day the pains should be gone.

Can someone tell me what their incisions looked like 2 days post op? i have a lot of red and purple bruising?! is this normal?

Hey! I am having lapband on march 19. I started the liquid diet today....i know you are probably looking for a buddy that has had it, but it could be cool to go through it with someone close to your banding date! Let me know!!
