I would. I have so many questions, and Im only out 5 days from surgery. Just got to figure out how??

I hope we can get a little group together. I'm down for it!! I had Dr. Snyder at Rose. Just let me know..

I don't think you cheated either. Just try your Protein shake intake much slower. I am 5 days post op too! It will get better, i honestly believe it.

I had a revision on May 17 2016, also from band to sleeve. I can drink fluids but I have to do it slow (like a turtle), so I'm doing it every hr almost, to get fluids in. Can you try that method.? We both are only 5 days postop, and everyone says it will take time. Hope you feel better!

You were definitely too tight!!!! That happened to me on my first fill too. I had to go back and get 2 c.c's out immediately. After my fills I normally drink some warm tea or broth with protein powder. Because I have been tight before and it was horrible experience. The tea normally helps a great deal. Good luck to you. and God bless. Dee

Welcome sweetie. Hope all is well with you. congrats on your surgery. You are now a fellow bandster!!!!!!!

Im so happy your doing well. I have had a stuck episode, it aint fun. So its good your doing well. Dee

Hey everyone. Gosh its been a moment since I posted on here, but I had to stop by and say hello to everyone. I have been doing pretty good. I am down 30 lbs since my surgery on Nov 11th, 2010. I have not been excerising as much as I would like (mainly because of my hellish workload I have right now.) I am jumping back on the band wagon as we speak!!!! I have many episodes of food getting stuck and you would think i know by now. I will say its getting much better. That is the worst feeling (being stuck). so I am trying to chew everything like a new baby so I can do better. I will say I feel much better. I am now taking the stairs instead of elevators when I can and getting my butt up to take my son out on these beautiful colorado days! I took so much for granted before and now I will be a running around mom, doing different activities I would have never dreamed of before. My husband loves the energy level and we are having some fun. I just signed up for kickboxing lessons (that should be interesting)!. I go to my first class next week. WISH ME LUCK!!! I will say my doctor and his office have been great. Before the surgery and after. I have had some struggles and they have been there every step of the way for help and guidance. Dr snyder and amanda have given me a start to a new life! Hope everyone is doing great and I will try to start checking in more often. I miss my fellow BANDSTERS!!!!!! Dee

I got banded on nov. 11th. i have that shoulder pain too!!! it seems like everytime I get a fill it agrravates it even more. It has been off and on for the past months. My doctor thought I was to full too and took out 2 cc. but I still have the pain, even right now as I am typing. They say it gets better, so I am definitely waiting for that particular day!!!!!
