Today is my 4 week anniversary for surgery and my double chin is gone. I am only down 15 pounds but I am starting to notice the loss in all the same areas you mentioned. Good luck-I am sure you will notice it going away soon.

SOunds like an overfill. If you are not better by Friday I would call my surgeon. Don't want to get worse during the week-end! Good luck.

And I'm getting some killer headaches. Not a hydration issue as I'm taking in >60 oz of water daily. Anybody have the same experience? Sent from my SM-T550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello All, Thank's to everyone whom responed to my post, highly appreciated. I think it might be best for me to go out though just state to my friends I've an upset tummy. See, I don't like any types of Soups or everything else that you guys have suggested, though thankyou. I might just wait until I've been on the soild stage for a week or so then maybe try the Sesame chicken. Have a great day all. Prada. -

I tried my first fill with a fillcentersusa.com doctor in Las Vegas. He was obviously new to the whole procedure, had the book out and everything. Took three tries, no numbing, just jabbing. It was so painful, I took pain meds for two days. My first real fill was today (Oct 5) with Novabody Solutions in Garland TX. They accepted me even with my lapband being inserted in Tijuana. Cost was $200.00. The doctor used a numbing agent, then a sonograph to find the port. It was so fast...and painless... I could hardly believe it! They can be reached at: novabodysolutions.com or by calling 972-665-2639. They are located within Vista Hospital of Dallas. Thanks so much to their team...I am back on my way to losing weight.

Flying Day After Surgery?
NWgirl replied to thn4evr's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I flew to Las Vegas from Portland, Oregon and back the same week as surgery and felt great. I didn't get too much pain like others after surgery, so I was pretty much back to normal the day after. -
March 3rd is the day! I'm nervous and excited but SOOOOO scared. I'm worried that I'll be in pain 24/7 for the rest of my life and wont be able to go back to work, etc...... I told my boss today that I needed 3 weeks off but what happens if I'm not OK at 3 weeks post-op? I lift very heavy boxes and stuff like that. Also, I have my pre-op appointment next Thursday, are they going to do an EKG? I hope they do, ya know to be safe, lol. In the paperwork I got it talked very briefly about my diet after the surgery and it said Water, chicken broth and sugar free Jello for 2 weeks. I thought you HAVE to be on liquids for first 4 weeks??????? Also it says I'll probably be staying in the hospital for 2 days. I'm wondering if this was a generic letter given to all WLS patients and that part is meant for Gastric Bypass Surgery patients. I have so many questions I know and I'll have probably 50 more before my pre-op appointment. Tonight I'm going to do serious research on this site and try to ease my mind a bit. :confused2:

14 lbs in a month. 12 in the first two weeks; 2 in the next 2 weeks. -
I'm 5 weeks post op, my Dortor will not fill before 6 weeks. I'm on solids but am starving hungry. They say to eat a cup full or so of food per meal, are they insane! I can more or less eat a regular meal, not as much as I could before granted but I can eat! Is this normal to be able to eat so much. I lost a ton of weight pre and post op and guess what it's all starting to come back on.

That is great - good for you!!! I have my medical evaluation followup and psych eval appts next week, I am hoping to have a surgery date for the beginning of May sometime. I get more nervous/excited everytime I get one of my appts out of the way!! Keep us posted with how the Optifast goes!

Hi Puddin, First Congrats on your new band! As far as the Gas..everyone is different. Mine lasted for about 2 week but each day it got better and better. Walk Walk Walk, that is the best medicine you can give yourself for the gas..get up and get to walkin, it helps to move it around and get it out! The more you sit around the worse it gets..

Hi I have had the band now 4/5 weeks and was doing really well lost 12lbs but now I seem to be putting the lbs back on. My first fill is on the 18 November and am very worried I will but all the weight back on before the first fill. I know you are new to the band like me and wondered if you could give me some advice. Can you bring the first fill forward. Many thanks

So since Thanksgiving I've been not making the best food choices. I've been slacking with my Protein and just overall slipping into bad habits. I am here today to start over. Today I was at the gym bright and early and have already had 30 grams of protein and 32 oz of Water. My goals for the week are to get 100oz of water and eat 3 meals a day. What a great opportunity Monday’s are! You get to fix what went wrong LAST week, you get to try the things that you were too afraid to do LAST week, you get to go after one of the infinite opportunites that are available to you that you put off LAST week…whoo hoo!! What will you do with your Fresh Start Monday??

My surgery is a week from today and I woke up with a totally sore throat.....it's almost swollen shut. No fever or any other symptoms I am praying it's allergies. I called my surgeon's office today and OF COURSE didn't get a call back. I know most times surgery can't be done when you are sick but I also don't want to take my medicine since I was supposed to be off everything except my blood pressure meds 10 days before surgery After working so hard to get to this point since last May I do not want to be denied last minute!! Anyone know if it's okay for me to take allergy/cold meds? or any natural remedies okay for me to do? I am on the liver shrink diet so didn't want to even try honey

Well had my physical today and passed. I am healthy just over weight by 75 pounds. I am so nervous, I am having the sleeve and was concerned about going under because my BP runs low 100/46 today, that is a normal for me or it runs 90/42, no dr has said anything about it being low so guess I'm good. My dr wanted me to have the sleeve before I have health issues, I think it's a good idea, I have tried dieting, weight watchers, the military diet and I couldn't get the weight to come off, always so discouraging. Breathes deeply so nervous.

I am almost 3 weeks out from surgery. This morning I started developing a rash. It started on my arms, by this afternoon my legs and back are covered too. Then I started getting a headache, and I'm feeling very nauseous. I took my temperature and I have a low grade fever (99.9) I don't know if this is even anything tied to the surgery or if I just have some sort of bug. I don't want to take benedryl because I don't think I would be able to keep it down. Should I call my doc, or wait a day or two?

less than a week... amazingly calm :)
indy sleever posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yesterday I completed my last requirement before surgery... all day nutrition class. My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday 8/18. I was a ball of nerves yesterday. Learning about nutrition and portion sizes... learning about giving myself Lovenox injections after surgery... getting the list of supplements I will be taking for the rest of my life. It was a long day and I was overwhelmed with a pounding headache when I got home. Today is totally different! A strange calm has taken over. I am so happy! No more hurdles to jump over. I am there I have had the morning to myself (kiddos at school) to really think and remember all my reasons for doing this. I can't wait to start this journey. I know it won't be easy but I am ready for the challenge! I hope this happy calm stays with me through next week! -
Mine and many others on here was two weeks of optifast. If not that something probably low carb with a lot of liquids. Good luck !

hello.. I had the band in for about 6-7yrs was all good, then one day just stopped working , i started to regain and didnt matter what i did could not get the scales to move back down... I had my band removed 8 weeks ago. then exactly 2 weeks ago today I was sleeved.. i know its early days but so far I am sooo happy with it, down 7kg in 2 weeks .. pain wise i honestly thought the lapband in and out is more painful, but seriously not that bad,, the sleeve has given me no discomfort at all except obviously the first day but more in the wound site that the stomach it self.. was up and about the next day and still have no pain at all... but then i have a mind set that because i have chosen to do this to myself then I really have no right to complain about pain .. however i guess if I was really in sever pain then I would be crying like a baby lol.. for me it was easy and painless and best move I have done.. good luck with your surgery x
