    I have experienced bad chest pains. I got my band completely unfilled and got an endoscopoy done. I also had a Barium swallow and so far everything is fine. The pain has gotten less frequent and less painfull. Has this happened to anyone? If so what was your outcome and how did it stop? Any info will be appreciated.

    Sorry. I have not been here for awhile. I hope all is well. If you have any questions please ask. I get my fills at the new Pomona location with Dr, T but still see Dr. Madan.

    I agree. He is great and knows what he is doin.

    I also experience headaches. However it goes away if I PB. Sometimes it starts if I eat too much or too fast. Have you monitored your eating?

    My First Plateau

    aromer55 replied to cjett's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Hi. Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. If you are working out alot maybe you should get a body fat reading. As you work out you may be losing body fat but gaining muscle tone.

    Slippage

    aromer55 replied to ThinAli's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm sorry to see that you are having problems. I was wondering... What are the symptoms? How do you feel that makes you think that you "might" have slippage? I'm asking because I seem to BP'ing constantly and at times I have minor but annoying pain. I wish you luck at your appntmnt.

    Hope you are all doing well. Before I got my last fill of .5cc I had 10cc. I was able to eat pretty much anything in moderation. I hardly exercised due to my busy schedule. Now that I'm at 10.5cc I can eat much more, I'm also feeling more hungry. I also started exercising more. To my surprise I have gained 5 lbs. WHAT GIVES!!!! Has this happened to anybody? I go in for another fill on the 16th. Even though I'm able to eat more I cannot eat certain foods because they are starting to get stuck more frequently. I'm feeling confused. Advise would be greatly appreciated.

    My Symtoms....Anyone Else?

    aromer55 replied to raeraesd80's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had the same thing pretty much. I was told by a nurse that the dull pain was due to constipation. As far as the Gerd it's because of too reasons... Either I was eating too much or I was sleeping face down. I cut down on my eating (I'm still not at my "sweet spot") and I have used laxatives. So far it has worked for me. You should still consult with your Dr. I hope this helps a little.

    I need help. I'm 4 months post op. Just recently I started getting a dull pain under my rib cage on the left side. It comes and goes but I feel it more when I yawn or take deep breathes. Has anyone experienced this?

    14 CC Band vs Restriction

    aromer55 replied to s.smith's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Hello. I got banded Mar. 2nd with a 14cc band. My fills were... 3cc 3cc 2cc and the last 2 have been 1cc each. I got 10cc now and I go for another on Thurs. However I sometimes get acid reflux at night but yet half the time i can eat two handfuls to feel satisfied. It's still alot less than what I used to eat. My Dr. said that on a 14cc the average person hits the sweet spot at 11 to 11.5cc. I may just ask for .5 this time.

    Hi Dena. I was just wondering how your surgery went. Take care.

  13. aromer55

    Hi Dena. Yes they are busy. I did not recieve a diet plan. It was just clear liquids for a week then mushy for another week and the 3rd week soft foods. As for Dr. Madan I think he did a great job. Incisions were small.

  14. aromer55
    Hello everybody. I was banded Mar. 02, 10. I got my 4th fill on Thursday. It put me at 10cc in a 14cc band. Since then I have a little acid reflux at night and morning. I can eat fine afterwards. But only small portions as long as I chew well. Water goes down fine. When I was at 9cc's i could eat practically anything,not as much as I used too though. Is this normal? Can this be my so called "sweet spot". Any info would be appreciated.

    Hello. My surgery was great but as far as getting support... I pretty much get here or family. The Beverly center is swamped. However if you call them they will pick up and answer some questions. Other than that I'm happy with the decision. Where will you be getting your fills?

    When did your gas pain start?

    aromer55 replied to monkeymama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    What worked for me was a hot shower at night, slept with a heat wrap. In the afternoons due as much walking as you can. The pain lasted 2 weeks. I got banded on 3-2-10. Have not had the pain again. The gas strips did notwork for me. Good luck.

    10ml in 14cc band

    aromer55 replied to Awkward customer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I've been told that fills in a 14cc band should be 3-3-2 then 1cc till restriction occurs. I go for my 2nd fill on Thursday. As of now the only time I feel I have a band is when food gets stuck. However I can eat pretty much anything as long as I remember to chew well. Keep us informed.
  19. aromer55
    Why do you ask if you regret it? I got banded on March 2nd. and still trying to adjust. Most of the comments here have been very helpful. Good Luck.
