I HAD MY SURGERY nOV. 21ST AT PALMS OF PASADENA HOSPITAL IN ST PETERSBURG FLORIDA BY DR REHNKE DOING FINE EXCEPT FOR WANTING TO EAT CAN'T GET A FILL FOR THREE WEEKS DON'T WANT TO GAIN BACK WHAT I HAVE LOST ..........:rolleyes2: GETTING WORRIED ANY SUGGESTIONS.

Hi Toots, I haven't been banded yet so no help there--but on the home page if you scroll down there is a section for post op questions.......... and further down, age specific support groups. There's lots of information here about your problem--keep looking.--and good luck.

Thanks for answering so quickly and thanks for the information that helped a lot ......... when is your surgery?..... toots923

I'm scheduled for Dec 4th---- have been reading this forum for a couple of months now and have a much better idea of what to expect, positive and negative.

The "normal" experience seems to vary greatly so it's helpful to read the postings in different subforums......

I'm looking for support groups to go to in my area too.

Hope things go smoothly for you--- and we can all look forward to a Happier and Healthier New Year!

Toots what you're feeling is normal unfortunately. They call it bandster hell. I promise it will pass once youre able to get fills. You just have to stick to the plan the doctor gave you for post op and you will be fine.
