honestymm

Ive had my 2nd fill on aug. 21st...im getting the stuck feeling for everything i eat (especially bread), i take lil bits and chew very well..am i too full or at my sweet spot...i did get to eat like 2 oz of fish and about 5 tbls of spinach wo getting stuck last night but im just not sure..im staying full just wondering what others have to say..oh i have 10cc band and i have 6cc in it now..2cc at surgery, 2cc july 24th, 2cc aug. 21st.

it could also be from the tubin they put in ur throat during surgery i had that feeling as well..and nothing i would do to make it better..it does get better though

i agree with restless monkey

i was banded on june 10th, lost 10 lbs on pre-op, 7 lbs first week of post-0p, 4 lbs second week post -op, i will be weighin in on wed for 3rd week post-op but ive lost i can tell..another 5 lbs or so and ill go down a size..

lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol

look at the ones who are being so offensive when im only stating my opinion and the words of my 3 friends that has had the gastic bypass as one of my friends say she feels unhuman....but talking about ignorance..idk ur exact name idk..look at the names you are calling me..when i never said no ones name im speaking of my friends who has had the gastric bypass...just like ur putting out ur negative things uve been through with lapband..im putting in the negatives from me besties..at the end i said sorry if i offend anyone...but i don't stay on the internet 24/7 i have a familly and a life i was just reading post and i put my opinion in after all this is what this is for..no have the 100% accurate information for anything in this world..but the ignorance is all on u and it shows deeply...so many hypocrites in this world and less honesty and straight up communication...i feel bad for those closed-minded ppl...have a great day won't be entertaining this subject anymore...good day

i am also one who loves my band..ive lost close to 20 lbs now in two weeks..i just believe gastic bypass is the laziest way to lose weight..u have half the stomach you was put on this earth for and its not healthy at all....ppl get it because they don't have control over there own being..can't control what they eat or how much..it goes from ur mouth out ur behind..nothing in between..i mean its great for ppl who have several severe illnesses and that are heavily overweight 400+ (my opinion) but the lapband helps ppl who truly want to become 100% healthy without the long term things that will happen with gastic bypass...something you'll always have to deal with can't be healthy at all regardless 90% of the ppl ive seen with gastric bypass are what u call (skinny-fat ppl) meaning even though they are then..they still have the same body fat % as they had when the weight was there..and also if you do ur research then youll know whats right for you..lapband is the safest wls every..and i had the single incision so its even gettin better than it was 2 months ago..good luck everyone..sorry if any offended..this is my opinion ive had several friends with the gastric bypass and i know personally

i have the lapband ap, 10cc band and there is 2cc in the band at the time of surgery my first fill will be july 23rd...i was banded on june 10th

Im also a miltary spouse with tricare and all i needed was a referral from my pcp, i went on may 15th and had my surgery on June 10th was quick tricare approved on may 27th..i had to get all the preop testing, blood, ekg, stress test, pulmonary fuction test, chest xray, shrink, nutrit. was at my surgeons office..my surgeon actually said tricare is one of the most fastest approval and i had no other health problems besides being obese..works for me check into it

Did you cheat at all?

nope not at all, cheatin dnt hurt nobody nut urself

does anyone know if he does fills from another surgeon, im a military spouse and we are pcs'n to fort cambpell looking for a fill doctor

i was on 30 carbs, 3 g.fat, 70g+ Protein a day..64 oz of Water of course i lost about 10 lbs during the preop..now idk i go in thursday for post op appt. to see what ive lost siince then..yeah

I can not feel my port right now but will expect to do so when I loose more weight. My dr. finds it by having me lay flat on my back then raise my head off the table and he pushes around till he finds it. He has never had any problems finding it.

thanks so much..

well i do have a question..can everyone feel there port..im either unable to feel it or im just not pushing hard enough to feel it..maybe its the swelling but idk..somebody please tell me

like most of you i was also banded on june 10th,,the first 2 days i slept on the sofa but then i went to bed, first night (day3) slept on my right side then last night was able to move from side to side slowly, my only pain is near the port site just the pulling and stinging like feeling that stops when i put my hand over it when i walk..doesn't hurt at all when im sitting or bent over..gas i still have it but walking helps most def..

thanks again to all you guys, just wondering ive been looking for things or signs i mean im doing everything right by the book but just wondering what exactly causes erosions or slippage,,and what are the warning signs..everything feels just as it did on the day of surgery by means getting better of course..

hi, i myself have been on liquid diet since june 9th, banded on june 10th, im not really having an appetite for nothing so i just use the sample menu the drs gave me and i don't even get that much down..my main goal is taken my Vitamins, getting 3 Protein Shakes in a day which fill me up and drinking my 64 oz of Water my main thing is i know ill lose the weight if i contine to do right thats my goal right now.."EAT TO LIVE, DON'T LIVE TO EAT"....thats my focus if you feel hungry just remember y ur doing this in the first place..drink more water to fill you up,,go take a walk,,play a game watch a movie..more or less its ur mind not ur appetite..

thanks, i knew there would be somebody out there that seen my way of thinking,,lol it just good to just hear it u know sometimes you just sit at home thinking all about urself when there are ppl out there lots going throught the same thing at the same time..thanks so much for ur reply can't wait for the best of this

today woke up feeling ok,, but throughout the day kinda been nauseated not much but just to wear i just lay down and it goes away, im trying to eat just so i don't get weak seems everything makes me feel nauseated except water..and feeling kinda chillish i checked my temp and it was 99.3 don't know if that would be called a fever or not no swelling no redness..chest still kinda sore when i breath but still doing the breathing excersices and trying to cough every hour..anybody has any words of widsom and relief..just know kno im not the only one u guys know..some comforting

i also had my surgery on june 10th and i had that mucous stuff as well its very thick but i coughed it all up it hurt but only for a second the pillow against tummy helps alot..

So i had the sils band yesterday im feeling pretty good can't really complain,, a lil sore and a lil gas but overall i can't complain to much..just wanted to see if anyone else has recent surgery and how are they feeling.
