  1. So I called my doctor's office yesterday. Turns out Fridays are the days they interview new residents for their program. My doc wasn't available, but one of the other doctors took a break during the interview process to give me an unfill. I feel a lot better, but it is still very tight. I didn't have trouble sleeping or swallowing my own saliva, but I am full off of a half a glass of juice. He told me to stay off solids until today, but I don't see me eating food any time soon. I assume this is what real lap band life is like. Let the real weight loss begin.
  2. I just got a fill yesterday. It was definitely too much. When I had some Water after, I didn't think it was that bad, buT the whole train ride home I was burping or trying to make my self burp. It was horrible. The worse part was trying to sleep. I can't sleep at all. It feels like food is sitting in my chest and I haven't had anything to eat. I keep throwing up white foam. This has to be my own saliva because there is nothing in my system. I don't think my doctor's office is open on Fridays. I can't go a whole weekend like this, let alone another night. Does anyone know how I can get an emergency unfill from anywhere in NYC? Where should I look? I don't want to go to the emergency room and wait for hours for them to tell me they can't do it. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY!!!!!
  3. I had my surgery 4 days ago and I burp and pass gass a lot. The burping really hurts. A lot. very uncomfortable. Good Luck. Good to see your doing well. I was so hungry today I actually purchsed food. I was too scared to eat it and threw it away. Very scary. I hope I can do this.
  4. I just had my surgery 4 days ago. The first 2 to 3 days I had no desire to eat or even drink anything. But I followed the plan as instructed. Today, I was so hungry that I was in pain. Is this normal. I have never felt like this before. I feel so discouraged. Like if I am this hungry already, how will I be able to do this?
  5. Hi, I just had my surgery 4 days ago. This evening I stuck my funger in my belly button for no reason at all and I feel something hard in there. I think it's the port but I'm not sure. I dont feel it anywhere else. Did my lap band fall? out of place? Should I go to the ER?
