I was banded on February 16th. I get my first fill today!!! I am starving, I hope this helps! I can eat way more than the 4 oz! I have only gotten stuck one time, I hope it stays that way! I also hope I have no PB's...never had one, doesn't sound like I want to! I am on all liquids today...yuck!

I had the same thing happen when I was about 6 days post op. It felt like I had blown something out of my belly. It hurt for a couple of days....but I don't think I did any damage. I was banded on 2/16/2010.

How are ya'll a year or two later?

It is normal. I even canceled my first surgery date. After 6 months of pre-op nurtitional counseling! I finally had it done last week. You will be fine! Good Luck!

I live 10 minutes from the Boardwalk! My girls love to go there! Where did you have your surgery? How are you doing so far? I am so pleased with mine, except for the pain around the port area. I will be glad to be your "Buddy". Great to hear from you!

I hope your surgery goes well too! Mine went great! I was basnded on the 16th, came back to work on the 18th. I only took Tylenol. I have lost 11.4 lbs. I feel great! Wish I had done it sooner!

Do you have the support of family and friends? yes #8. Concerns and questions? port pain .......................and anything else you would like to add!

I have one regret....I didn't get it sooner! I love to cook and eat...I just make alot less and eat alot less!

I was banded last week and it still hurts! I sneezed the other day and checked to see if it had flown out! I just knew I had ripped it! I guess everything is ok, I am not vomiting!

My Dr says liquids for two weeks, mushies for 2 weeks after that. Just wondering about other Dr.'s?

I want honest answers....how many of you stayed on liquids the two weeks post op?

I had surgery on 2/16/10 and I have lost about 8 lbs. I know alot of that is fluid. I don't care where it comes from. I feel like I have alot of restriction. I have 3cc in a 10 cc band. I guess that is normal?!?

SHE is just JEALOUS!

Anyone else's Dr prescribing Reglan post op and for how long?

Glucerna Creamy Chocolate delight are pretty tasty!

I had surgery on the 16th also! I have lost 5 lbs and off my BP meds! I just swallowed a 1/4 of a Lexapro and so far, so good. Anyone completely off anxiety meds since the surgery??

I feel bad. I read your earliest post, I didn't realize what all you had been thru! Bless your heart! I just got banded on Tuesday. I was wondering if it would be worth all of that to have everything lifted? Hope you are feeling better soon!!!

How much pain is involved in the Breast Augmentation and TT? What size cup were you before and what size did you get? I have a feeling that your before will be very similar to my before.

I had surgery on Tuesday and today is Thursday. I came back to work today, although I was 30 minutes late.

I had surgery on Tuesday. There is no way I am going to be able to get all that liquid down. I had one shake yesterday and it literally took all day. I felt like I had eaten way too much. I have had one shake today and a large glass of tea.

I am scheduled for Tuesday February 19th! I have 95 lbs to lose. Congrats to all of you! Hopefully, it will come off quickly!

That is Awesome!!! That is what I want to hear! Any problems? I think I read way too much about problems and that is why I chickened out! I had my pre op, pre-admit at the hospital, medical clearance and EGD done yesterday...there is no turning back now. I can't wait! I just find it hard to believe I will ever weigh my goal weight, which is 132! I am SOOOOOOOO Excited!

I was scheduled for December 22, 2009 and I chickened out. I am rescheduled for next Tuesday, February 16, 2010. I want to know how much all you December Bandsters have lost???

Hopefully, your wife will be supportive of you. Good Luck!

COngratulations! 50 lbs is something to be proud of!
