Thanks for your responses. To parrotheadCathy I did not have diarreah or vomiting. These were my symptoms..clamy, dry heaves, numbness in my fingers, dry mouth felt like my belly was going to burst. Also i did not eat ANY sweets. It was weird. My sis had the gastric bypass and she told me dumping syndrome symptoms. again thx for your answers.

I agree with your frustration. I was not informed AT ALL about the lap band. My dr. only did bypass gastric until about 6 months ago. So all the meetings I attended only refered to bypass gastric. So when I was told I had no restrictions and i had to be on soft foods for 3 weeks which only consist of 2 oz. for each meal it is tough. I will get a fill on May 5th I was banded on 4/8
