Hi,

I had my lapband done in Dallas, TX by Dr. Davidson on May 3, 2006. I am having some trouble and wanted to join a support group. I live 2 hours from Dallas so I won't be going to all of their meetings. I lost 18 lbs so far counting the 2 week diet before surgery. My pouch seems to clench tight for several painful seconds every so often. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm eating or not. I have gone to liquids since this started happening 4 days ago.

Happy to be here.

Hot/warm is better than cool liquids!! Cold causes spasms....keep reading there are many words of wisdom around here w/ all the experience!! I had many such "spasms"....something would come from way down deep and just give me the pain!!

Congrats on your weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Band Land!!!!!!!

God Bless,
