I had surgery on the 24th n the day after i was sore as hell espicially where the port was. n dnt 4get u will have gas pain so I dnt suggest that u drive

thanks 4 the info I didnt have a clue what people were talking about. r u at ur sweet spot or green zone? how many fills did it take u b4 u were there?

what does that mean? what is it, is it just a saying or phrase?

can u please give me an example of ur menu or diet plan u follow-.eg. !1 full weak what u eat n how much u eat? how long has it been since u were banded n how many fills have u had. im just trying 2 get new sucessful ideal that work. im scheduled for my 1st fill dec 21st please help me im so nervous. also please request me as a friend so we can keep n touch

thanks a lot for the advice

I am really freaking out because I dnt know what 2 expect with this first fill? people say they cnt eat meat anymore or they throw up n I dnt want 2 experience non of that. I want everything 2 keep going smoothly. I dnt want 2 b sick. can anyone explain how a fill really works n what is the purpose of having one? Is the fill the stage where the weight comes off more? whats the sweet spot?

Omg is this normal? I went 2 the doctor 2day for my post op visit n i lost 14 pounds n 1 weak n he scheduled my 1st fill for the 21st of december. Is this a good thing? most 1st fills r 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. Does this mean im making good progress or is something wrong?

A week ago I was banded n all the gas n pain is gone except for on my left side where the port is. It feels like its just laying on my ribs ouch-!!! how much longer is this pain going 2 last?

is ur flow real heavy mine is ridiculous it feels like my uterius is about 2 fall out

thanks so much for everything

I am on the 3month shot n I dnt have a period but right after my surgery my menstral cycle came n its really heavy. Im nt trying 2 gross anyone out but has anyone else experience this? I cnt even get out of the bed only 2 go 2 the washroom. This is really scaring me 2 see the huge lumps that im passing. any suggestions until my doctor is open 2morrow?

how many oz of fluids are u drinking avery hr and are u on a schedule when u eat???

I hope everything is going better for u... best wishes did u get ur questestions answered
