Hello everyone, I just got my Lapband on July 19. I have lost 22 pounds so far, I was down 26 pounds but when I started the puree I gained 4 pounds. My first day after surgery was the worst day, I had alot of gas and chest pain. I couldn't hold any liquids I had a lot of nausea, they had to call my doctor that night to come in because I had some jello and couldn't hold it down. My doctor came in that night and took the fluid out of my band when he took the fluid out I felt relief.Then I was able to hold down my liquids. Today I went to my doctor and I was suppossed to get a fill but I couldn't because I was still soar from the hernia repair they did on me. I have an appointment scheduled for August 19 to get my first fill.
