I waS also banned on the 21st and I have had some problems but got it corrected. They left the primer Fluid in the band. Had to go back to Dr. office and get the fluid removed. Got a reality check on what the fill process would feel like. I am sure it won't hurt as bad after you get healed up. They withdrew 3cc of fluid and I was set free. I went 4 days post op before I got relief. Now I am getting fluids and getting stronger every day. Good Luck and be patient.

happy for you all on your success however mine was not so good. I had surgery June 23,2010 and had to have the band removed on June 28,2010... very bad experience for me... I had severe nausea and it NEVER stopped after 5 solids days of it i couldn't stand it anymore and went to ER for multi testing,.. I have very severe motion sickness guess my stomach could not stand the pressure on my stomach!!!:) dr never gave me a reason, just well don't know.... sure wish someone, ANYONE would have let me know that motion sickness could be a bad thing for lap band surgery!!! It has been a very costly mistake on my part but I am feeling better, PTL~~

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
