Hi all,

I was banded on the 28th of april. Its been great i am loosing weight feeling fantastic it has been a 100 percent success no problems at all.Not even vomiting one vomit the day after surgery but i think thst was the pain killers.

Thae only side effect i have is burping i burp all the time it is a bit annoying but hell if thats the only problem i have had so far i would do it again in a heart beat.

Mind you i have yet to have a fill so that is a bit scary heard of those side effects.

Oh well what has been your side effects.

Good luck everyone

I had my surgery 4 days ago and I burp and pass gass a lot. The burping really hurts. A lot. very uncomfortable. Good Luck. Good to see your doing well. I was so hungry today I actually purchsed food. I was too scared to eat it and threw it away. Very scary. I hope I can do this.

Congrats on your band, I was banded on April 15th. And I haven't had a fill yet either... It's scary because I've been able to eat a lot more, than when I was first banded, but of course I'm still skeptical and taking it easy.. But what really scared me was, I was able to eat a crossiant sandwhich on yesterday, a whole one, I called the dr's office and asked could I come in sooner to get a fill, which my first fill is scheduled for June 11th. From what I've been reading that's the reasons for the fill, I haven't been as hungry as I was before, but I defintely understand where divaondean mentioned on her comment.. Hang in there we will all get through this together, it's so helpful reading everyone elses comments, that lets me know I'm not in this alone... divaondean hang in there be encouraged, I'm glad you didn't eat that food, it's defintely to early for you, hang in there. everytime I eat I burp for like an hr, it' doesn't hurt though, and I had vomited yet, thank God I'm so scared to, and I pray it never happens, I had a minor eposide the first week into the surgery eating a popscile, it came up a little but other than that, I've been fine. Keep me updated...

at first i was burping alot too and not having bowel movement. i got the band on 4/28 too. i only had the vomitting on a popsicle incident but i can tell when i have eaten too much or too fast because i get extreme back pain. the problem im having is i know i am not eating right, im really unsure that im getting enough protein. does anyone have a sample meal plan i could follow? again i just had sx on 4/28 any ideas are appreciated.
