It's been a long journey I have decided to give lap band 2 years ago I chickened out and told myself if I hadn't lost the way on my own then I would make sure that I got to be in to lose the weight here it is 2014 and I did it the process took a lot. A little frustrating and having to deal with insurance company and the doctors office I was ready to give up but it all work itself out and I am 12 days out and feeling great with the 12 days plus my pre op diet I am down 16 pounds so I'm very excited to see a little weight off. I do pretty good with the pre op diet and the first two weeks out what does no liquids I didn't give any headaches ... I've done liquids before my advice is this just get you ready for your new eating habits ..... So if anybody who is getting ready to get bandit don't hesitate to contact me

Congrats sofab!

Does your band have any Fluid in it? I was originally told I would have 2cc and I felt restriction after surgery but I found out yesterday my band is empty and the swelling was the restriction. Now I'm feeling more hungry which I was told by my surgeon's office is to be expected before my first fill.

Now that I know I have nothing in my band and no restriction my mind is wandering to all the things I could eat (knowing that I am still healing 7 days post op). I wish I had never asked about what was in my band! ????

@@briefs199 I'm not sure if there is anything in it or not to be honest. ...

4 cc in my band after surgery. We are all different because our bodies are different. I received 1 cc on my first fill 3.5 months after surgery
