Hi everybody, I was banded on Aug. 7th 2006 by Dr. Fielding @ NYU Medical Center. So far I'm down 119 lbs, but my band was too tight and I had to get an unfill yesterday, so I may gain a bit of that back for a while.

Hi everyone! One thing I've learned is to never take all of your pills at once. I've had horrible burning and nausea from doing it in the past... I don't know if it's because I threw a new chewable Vitamin in the mix, but it wasn't pretty :cry By the way, does anyone have advice for a good band-friendly vitamin? I've found that the chewable Centrum tastes sick, the kids Vitamins don't seem to have as many nutrients, and the normal adult one are huge. Thanks for the help

Hey there! I hadn't had surgery before getting banded either, and I of course was nervous, but after the first few days I was moving around pretty normal. One thing to keep in mind is that your abs do a ton of work for you! I, having been overweight since I was 2, didn't know that I had many abs to speak of--this surgery really opened my eyes. Sitting up, coughing, moving even the tiniest bit...it's all influenced by the abs, and since they are cut during surgery, they all hurt like the dickens for a while :cry Note: pain killers are your friends!!! Take your meds as your doctor recommends, and don't try to go without. Once I learned that being a hero wasn't helping anyone--especially myself--I was much better off

Hey guys, has anyone tried both unjury and anywhey? I'm trying to decide which one to order, and since I haven't tried either, any help you have would be great. Thanks a bunch = )

Hey, has anyone else had problems w/ apples? I don't know why, but the only 2 times that I've ever felt sick were just after eating an apple (or not even the whole thing)! I was just wondering if this was a common occurrance b/c I'm new to the band (8/12) and also from NY and we have great apples this time of year = )

Hi, I'm new here = ) I'm 23, and like most of u, I have been heavy by whole life. After trying every diet under the sun, I started to think about surgery when a friend of mine had gastric bypass. Seeing how sick he got from it, however, I knew that it wasn't for me. Then one day I heard about the band... after doing some research, I talked it over w/ my parents and decided to bite the bullet this summer since would be my last one b4 college graduation. I was banded on August 12th, and I went for my 1st fill a week ago. So far, I have lost 32lbs. and I'm pretty happy with that b/c I've never been abole to keep off more than 20lbs. at a time b4--diets just never seemed to work for me. It's kinda funny, but I actually just stumbled across this site b/c I was having trouble eating an apple earlier, and I wanted to know if this was a common occurrance after a fill. I know oranges need to have everything peeled off of them, but I'm not sure if this is true 4 apples. Anyone know? Thanks 4 your help!
