I got back on the 14th. What had happened was he said he would come by before i left and explain everything in detail to me... He said between 4-5pm. Come 8 he was still not there... So the nurse paged him again. He intstructed go ahead and let me go. All they gave me was my discharge paper and a sheet that talked about eating slow, chewing and ect...

I was banded 6/30/11. I felt that same chest pain.... Mine was gas. After i would drink my shake i would stand awhile ( wash dishes, sweep..ect ) to get the gas moving. If it didn't work i would use some gas x.

I was banded on 6/30. I haven't had that problem... yet! I am still kinds or sore and it hurts to lay on my sides.

Yes- After looking at what he does.. only 30% of it is lap band. So he doesn't do much.

There was another comment above... It was not to her... The one above was reported & Removed

YES~! I reported her as well... I looked at her profile and it was all negative comments... On her own things and others blogs... ect...

I am actually 4 days post-op and i felt the same way the second day... I felt like pure blah~ My whole body hurt.... I couldn't breathe, i couldn't hardly stand... I am starting to feel better,( i went to walmart today! )

To the negative Nancy above- Really? How rude?!? You also made a rude comment on one of my posts today as well... If you don't have anything nice to say.... Then don't say anything at all... So this is when i stop talking! : )

I am sorry to hear that! I was banded recently myself and i am starting to wonder who i did it for... My boyfriend and his friends or myself...

I cannot use another doctor, due to insurance policy issues. Do you really think i would have " Let" him if i would have known my questions would not have been answered? Please take your negativity and attitude elsewhere.

Thank you guys so much. I think i am going to drink some pre-made protein shakes. I added up what i've had today and its about 200 calories. My doctor isn't apart of a "team". He just places the bands, he is a general surgeon. He does everything from banding to fixing hernias. I have been kind of playing this by ear. His office is closed till Tuesday so i am kind of out of luck.

I was banded Yesterday ( June 30th ) I had a one day pre op liquid diet. For it only being one day it was hard! I think it was because my mom made my son this Pasta bake stuff ( that of course i LOVE! ) LOL, So far my pain has been under control, but i've been taking the pain meds even if i don't totally need them. I would rather be ahead of it, than behind it! I myself was having mixed emotions. Last night i cried thinking i made the biggest mistake, I honestly love food. Its my weakness. I used to be able to eat whatever i wanted up until i had my son 16 months ago. I gained 75 pounds in that time. I was worried about having to give up the food i love, After talking with a few fellow bandsters they made me feel alot better, So when your feeling down about it log onto lap band chat and talk to the people. It will take about a month before you can really "eat" solid food. How i see it is the first month is going to be the hardest. After that, its all on you. Just eat slow and eat only a small amount. If it doesn't work out, then just don't get a fill. I hope this helps! Best of luck

I get banded June 30th! I'm excited! 9 days!!

We hubby and I tried to get pregnant ( W/ a second baby ) for about 6 months and nothing happened... Finally i decided to go back to school and work on getting lap band. I am being banded June 30th.. ( 10 days! ) I want to lose about 100 pounds before getting pregnant again. I remember how heart breaking it was to try to get pregnant and each test coming up negative. It seemed as if all of my friends were getting pregnant and i wasn't. At times i felt jealous of them. I remember getting on facebook and crying when i would see my friends status' saying they were pregnant... : ( Hopefully within a year we can start trying!
