my dr said he has patients that don't get a fill for the first year. i had my band on 3 weeks and was NEVER hungry. i had to make myself eat. unfortunately, i had a terrible flu virus... coughed a LOT... popped a suture... got very ill and had to have my band removed via ASAP surgery. good luck to the rest of you. i'll just do my best to not gain back any of the 30+ lbs i lost while banded/ill.

a girl i know said that some insurance plans will pay for PS if you let your dr know how uncomfortable all the extra skin is... that it hurts and chaffes you. i guess i'll believe it when i see it, but if it does work out... : )

Purchasing won-ton soup, without the won-ton, also makes for a tasty clear liquid. : ) -
Serious question for embarrassing problem

I just got my band on April 17. I had a LOT of gas pressure. I picked the brain of a friend of mine who'd had gastric bypass 8 years ago. She said the 'itol' sweeteners gave her the worst gas. Sure enough the 'no sugar added' popsicles I'd been having had sorbitol. i stopped eating them and have felt much better. Now I just think I'm having gall bladder issues. Oh, the back pain. : ( Pre-op weight - 226# Weight 2 days ago - 211#
