i had my lapband on sept 4,2009 and were the port is i had two strips well one of them started to loosen up and i didn't know it was no longer holding the skin together so i pulled both of them off cuz i realized there was a opening and i still hadn't had my first postop visist. it was a good opening too, it wasnt the hole incision but it was like a .25 of a inch wide maybe even a half of an inch and u could see that it was starting to heal that way. so since i couldnt see the doctor yet i went to walmart and got me some butterfly band aids. they worked like a charm had i did this a few days earlier maybe my incesion would had have stayed one straight line but it looks just fine and the surgen said i did good by doing that.

i had my surgery sept 4, 2009 and oh that is exactly the way i felt. i am someone who drinks water like there is no tomorrow so it was really hard to get even sips of water down. i felt like my kidneys hurt from not having enough of water and i was soooo hungry. and i was like that until i started to get my adjustments. dont worry once u get the adjustments u will start to feel not as hungry. i think some people adjust to it right away but for me i think i wasn't really there until my third or fourth adjustment that i could finally feel myself getting full and not thinking about what do i eat next. i have to admit im not the best person at choosing the most healthiest foods but portion control due to the lap band has made a difference for me the progress is slow but i have patience. only advice i can give is chew slow little bites it is a ugly feeling when you eat too fast and it feels stuck in your throat. good luck all!
