i know ms rhonda i said i would not post on your threads but again please listen..if you are hurting or in pain, please call and or go see your doctor so they can advise you.

PS: getting the band or any WLS is not a walk in the park. its not easy as some think it is. it was major surgery. i suggest you talk to your doctor. your health is what is important.

I'm so sorry you are hurting so much. I got my band on Jan. 22 and had first good day yesterday. It has been pure hell!! My chest and neck spasms hurt so bad all I could do was cry. The Dr. Said it was the hernia healing and that they could take some of the Fluid out and it might release some of the pain. I didn't want to do that so I just hung in there.the pain is down to just 4 times a day now. I pray you feel better everyday.

sounds like you're too tight if your'e having problems swallowing. Definitely contact your doctor, you shouldn't be in pain :(

I had pain in my head, neck, and shoulders with every fill! I have gone 6 years now without any fills. Try to unfill your band and see if the problems go away! Good luck!

Ms Rhonda... you are TOO TIGHT. Get complete unfill and go back to liquids for a couple of days, then soft foods, then regular foods in Lap band portions. You must allow yourself to heal. This is a long journey, not a quick trip. Don't allow any more fills. I am afraid for your health. You are trying to lose too fast.

But im better than before i notice the cold or if i dont eat that throat feeling comes my pcp thinks its what was going on last year n placed me on antibiotics for two weeks my band has settled thanks for concern if i dont completely get better by the end of new week i will go promise but i have adjusted its not like how it was.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
