Hello Dena,

What a shame your experience was so negative. Let's hope it's all good from here on.

Good luck!

Just sit back and enjoy the ride! You won't regret it!!

I had my first fill last week. I asked my Surgeon about being back on liquids but she said I could eat my regular diet ( I had just finished mushies and started solid foods the day before), but did not recommend that I tried anything new........

I wasn't going to tell many people at all but found that as my surgery date grew closer, I was soooo excited that I couldn't help but tell people! However, I was very choosy about who I told.......

Hi Everyone,

I'm also in Perth and was bended on 28th June 2010 by Prof Sue Taylor, so I'm 6weeks post op today.

My experience so far has been fantastic, all positive. I had my first fill last week with no problems at all!

Good luck to all of you on your journey.....

I've been on 40 mg for almost a year now. I was told after surgery to open the capsule and take the powder inside. Well I tried and it was nasty. I couldn't swallow and I almost vomited and it took forever to get that foul taste out of my mouth.

What now? I have depression but what's worse is I have anxiety and panic attacks and the Prozac keeps my anxiety under control.

I'm calling my PCP tomorrow to see what she recommends but when I will be able to swallow my Prozac again?

Hi Amanda,

I'm not on Prozac but another anti-depressant. My surgeon let me take my capsule the day after surgery and I must say she is very cautious! She told me that it will just sit in my new small pouch and be absorbed.

I was extremely apprehensive to take it the first day but had absolutely no problems at all !

Good luck!
