Slime blahhhh
My doc said its ok if it doesn't get stuck and you can tolerate it. Every doctor is different. Yeah, it went down but when I called today he even told me my band was finicky under floro, so I'm gonna go in for a little unfill.

Slime blahhhh
I ate a peice of toast this morning for breakfast and BAM it gets stuck. My fill was Wednesday It was done under floro but honestly I think I'm a little tooo tight. Every time I eat even protien shakes it hurts. Should I go for an unfill or wait it out.

Really struggling with this post-op diet!
I feel the exact same way I'm still on full liquids and wanna eat my arm off. I called the dr and explained to him the situation and told me to try some cottage cheese which I did and still not making me full. So I go in next Thursday to see him hopefully I'll be able to go into full mushies cause this is nuts. I feel your pain.

Single Incision Lap Band Procedure
I had the single incision done on the 19 of this month. My Dr. told me it would be fine for me to have the single incision. My surgery lasted 45 min and was walking around within two hours of being in recovery. I can honestly say I had NO gas pain what so ever. I had only minimal pain and used the prescribed meds for the first two days and that's all. I actually was at home depot the night of my surgery walking around. Everyone is different some experience more pain than others.

Almost 1 week after!
I agree I am only 4 days out and I already hate liquids. I have honestly decided i will never eat soup again or protien shakes. I need real food, Sunday is Easter and I think I'm gonna try to eat the inside of a stuffed shell and see how I handle it. Thankfully I don't have much pain at all just in the belly button where they did the single incision.

Any April's out there?
Awesome my band twin lol. I only took one does of the meds too. I wonder I that's because there is only one incision? Not much gas either

Today was the day
So my surgery was today only after being resheduled 3 times. I woke up in pain, but after about 2 hours I was fine. I actually came home slept than had to run to home depot cause our roof starting to leek and we had to get stuff to fix it. I had the single incision which are covered by strips and glue right now. My tummy looks like I went and got a bad spray tan not sure what that is. i'm nervous and excited about the journey.

February 2011 Bandsters?
My date is wednesday the 16 and I am officially freaking out. I'm somewhat lucky that my pre op diet is clear liquids just the day before surgery. My biggest fear is the anesthesia.
