Anyone else out there totally afraid they won't loose their weight. I had band surgery 12/2/10 and one 5 cc fill 12/29/10. I don't feel any restriction and I have to be so care full that I measure all my food so I won't eat too much. I have lost 42 pounds since I started the whole process in September and I have to give away most of my clothes because they are just falling off me. I am so afraid. Any suggestions for me. Thanks for the help!!

Good evening, I was banded on December 2nd and I had lots of chest and shoulder pain which was a gas bubble which is noted on my x-ray. Very painful. Its been better but much worse tonight. I also have lots of port pain and I think it moves when I bend over. I do hope that this is the worse and it will get better. I see clinic Monday and I hope they advance my diet, Those Protein shakes are getting very old and they give me lots of gas. I see my Surgeon on Wednesday, I hope everything is ok but this pain has me worried. I do hope this is just part of the healing process. I am losing weight. I lost 28 before surgery and other 8 pounds since surgery. No wonder, you can't eat anything and I'm starting to get really hungry.

Congratulations. I was also banded on 12/2/10. You sound like me. Really hungry starting Wednesday. I think its good It might mean my stomach is less swollen and my diet will be advanced Monday, I hope! I hope! keep up the good work.

Hi everyone, My name is Denise I am 55 and I received my band last Thursday, December 2nd. I have been working towards this since June and was able to get all the requirements done quickly. I had my surgery thru the Obesity Treatment Center at Catholic Medical Center, Manchester, NH. I have the greatest surgeon, Robert Catania MD and wonderful support thru the OTC. I've had a few questions and they have all been quickly answered. Today is day 6 and today is the first time I actually do feel hungry. I hope to learn alot from all of you. Thank you for being here.
