  4. So I went back to my doctors office, and he took out 0.1cc. It's a small amount but it has made a huge difference! I have great restriction without the pain, no nausea or vomiting:) here we go!!
  5. Hey I too just got a fill (.5 cc) two days ago. I've had my band for a couple years, but I've never experienced this. I haven't had a fill or unfill for about the past 9 months. I can eat, and drink- but I just have pain... It hurts a lot! Its in my chest and back and started a couple hours after my fill ( along with a crazy headache too!) ( which ive never had happen before either) I found that drinking hot water helps a little bit for comfort measures.. Anyone have any advice? Should I just wait it out! Go back on liquids for a few days?

  8. Ok me too!!Me too!! I've kind of been neglecting my band the past 9 months and gained 16 lbs on top of what I still need to lose! Booo! I got a fill a few days ago, and I'm focused to just do it! I want to lose another 30 lbs! Let's go girls!!
  9. Shoot!! Do you think it will go away on its own? Or will I have to go back in for an unfill?
  10. Hey guys! I've had my band since 2009, and I got a fill yesterday and have had a killer headache since. I've tried everything from coffee, water, sleep, hot bath, pain killers.. Etc, and nothing seems to help. I've never had this happen before. ( and I've had numerous fills and unfills!) . Has anyone else experienced this? What helps it?
  11. :smile:Thank you guys soooo much! It is so embarrasing to ask....but I am happy I did! At least I know it will not last forever! Merry Christmas!
  12. Hey there.. I am currently 4 days post op lap band and I have been experiencing a lot of diarrhea. The third day I went a couple of times, but yesterday was the worse. I have very painful cramps and really felt sick. Is this normal? Is it from all the drugs in my system...or could I be developing lactose intolerance? Has this happend to anyone? Thanks and Merry Christmas
  13. Thank you Mimi! It looks like you have been very successful with this, do you have any advice for me? Happy Holidays! ps- How do I put on the weight loss tracker?
  14. Hey there! I just wanted to stop in here and introduce myself. I just got the band put in Dec 21st and I am feeling pretty good... minus the gas pains! I am excited to be on here and I look forward to hearing from you. Happy Holidays! :)
