Just saw your comment on the gas pain. I am seven days out and the gas/shoulder pain just kicked in today. It was horrible on my first day back to work. I think because today was my first day upright all day it caused the gas to rise and showed it's ugly head. It was horrible. Do you remember how long it took for you gas pain to go away.

Hi there, I found your thread about banding under bmi of 35 and felt like we had a lot in common. I was banded 12/30 and started at 200 lbs so hopefully we can follow each others progress.

Looking for those who started with BMI 35 or less

I wanted to join in on this thread. Banded 12/30. Haven't had any issues. Did not do a preop and after six days do not have any restriction so the hunger is coming but I am just trying to eat the Protein and veggies as stated until my first fill on 1/20. I dont believe I've had any weight loss but it should start as even w/o the band I am basically doing the adkins diet and everyone sees results with that if you dont eat carbs. I know six days out I could eat a big mac if I wanted but I am not so that is good. -
Hey there, I banded 12/30 also and I am feeling really well too. One thing I've realized when I get the shoulder gas pain as soon as I stand up it's gone. Strange... so if you get any see if that works for you. I think I'll be back to work Monday. I only had to do liquids for two days. I ate today. Not much. Just some cottage cheese and chicken salad. I dont think I have any restriction at all but am going to eat very little until my first fill. Hang in there fellow bander.

I got to eat mushi foods today which was 2 days after my surgery. I was banded Wed 12/30. Today I ate cottage cheese and some chicken salad that came in my Drs. Surgery Book. I dont really feel like I have any restriction but I'm still only having about 20 oz of liquid and 1/2 a cup of food because I am afraid I may and then I will be miserable. Are we suppose to be getting the 60 grams of protein even on these first few days? If so I feel like I should probably put some benafiber in my protein drink. ha

Hey everyone, Day two of my band. Came home yesterday and have done really well since. No gas pains and doing a lot of walking so I seem to doing okay. I hope this goes as smoothly all week. Tomorrow my dr. says I can start mushies already. Will probably have some cottage cheese. How is everyone else doing?

Hey everyone, Getting the band tomorrow. So be available to help me when I freak out. ha No preop diet for me so that was nice. I am doing all broth today and it's 4:00 pm now and I am starving but that's okay - after today, tomorrow and several days of more broth maybe I'll have a few pounds off of me. -
Hey Melinco Glad you posted. I noticed a few days back you said they removed my pain port today? What is that all about? They sent you home with a pain port? That's the first I've ever heard of that and wanted to get some more info. Thanks.

Katchat: From what I have seen Lisa is getting banded today. I didnt see anything about banding on Sunday and Amy was banded on 12-23-09 so she's just a few days post op. There was another girl names Cassie who posted but she got banded in December of 08. I'm getting banded Wednesday if you want to check back I'll answer any questions you might think of. -

What exactly is the dumping? Is that constipation or the opposite affect? -

Lucet, Depending on how your office works - this will just be a meet and greet with your doctor or with his nurses to see if you qualify weight wise or insurance wise. Don't be nervous. I went through the entire process with one doctor but just didn't like their nurses or him for that matter and then started all over with another dr. I am self pay so it wasn't that difficult but the intital consult is just informative so don't be nervous. I'm banding Wednesday and can give you a full report as soon as I am able to get on line. -

Now you will really hate me. LOL My doctor said at our consult that after surgery he will want me to do clear liquids for a day or two, then regular liquids for a day or two then soft food for a couple of days. So I think I'll only be miserable for a few days. -

Don't hate me, but I did not have to do any preop diet. I am however doing as much liquids as possible today and tomorrow just for my own sake. The doctor said I have a BMI of 35 so he didn't want me losing any weight or I wouldn't qualify anymore. So glad to have you all a week out to get me thru this and answer questions. -

90 pounds in six months - WOW... what did you do if you dont mind me asking. I totally undertand still wanting to do it because maintaining will be easier with the restriction. But, what an accomplishment on your own. So you had surgery at your weight around 197. I'm just curious because I am having surgery starting at 200. -

Hey there, I was curious about your stats. Says you have lost almost a 100 pounds from consult to surgery. Is that right? I was just wondering if you lost almost 100 pounds before getting banded why you went through with it since you did amazing w/o it? -

Kathie, I think all drs are different. My dr said that drinking coffee is fine and he also said that soda is fine in moderation if you stick to diet drinks to avoid the calories. Just have a consultation with a dr and ask them what they think. I'm glad to know if I want them I can have them but I plan to avoid them as I want this to be a new start! -

curiousinoh replied to curiousinoh's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have to admit I am speechless. Getting lapband at 166 lbs. You did so great losing so much weight before the band why did you not keep it up? And, your insurance paid for this when you could have only been 30/40 pounds overweight at that point? What insurance do you have? Good Luck!
