    Lap Band Fills / Adjustment Info

    Thank you so much for this link!! I was struggling with my last fill (during this whole process our health insurance changed companies and now NOTHING is covered, so I tend to really hold off going to the Dr.) I realized I need behavior and attitude adjustments! Funny how old, bad habits so easily creep back in----

    Lap Band Surgery & Post OP Day One

    Hi CHris- My surgery was Jan 25th.2010. I just had my first fill on Monday (03-01-10). I did not have as much gas/shoulder pain, but day 2 was by far the worst ever for me. I was loving my liquid pain meds-every 4 hours like clockwork and did not even get out of bed, I dont think I could of if I tried, but then day 3 I went furniture shopping, and I went back to work on day 5 for 1/2 day. sitting put too much pressure on my stomach, but I was good to go by monday.I know every person is different as far as pain tolerance. The hardest part for me is figuring out what to eat. I have been loving cottage cheese, but my surgeon told me it is too soft and goes through quickly. I have a hard time with hamburger. its odd, this experience is not what I expected, not in a bad way, but it is just different. the scale did not move much the first month for me which frustrated me, but I can tell I have lost inches. a close friend of mine had the surgery last June, and I always talk to her for advise. she said after the first fill, is when the weight really starts to come off. So dont get discouraged, I know I made the right decision!!
