I have been getting sick every now and then through out my journey but lately i have been getting sick more often and it is usually this really thick like spit that is so gross. I usually never throw up the food i have eaten just this slimmy stuff. Has anyone else had this happen to them.

I have not had any pbs yet. I am very grateful. I am having problems eating too much. I dont eat to much at one time but I feel like I am eating all day. I guess my point is hang in there. I think that a lot of us feel like failures some days and I think that is really only human. I know I do anyway so if it is not normal than call me weird. I hope you get those pbs worked out and to get your fill in 2 weeks. I know I cant wait to get my first so I can just about imagine how bummed you were. Good luck and keep us posted.

I also lost weight at a rate of about two pounds a day. My weight loss stopped when I started on thicker foods. I would not be too worried it is mainly the liquid diet.

I will because I have 2 year old twins and they were really enjoying to outdoors. I can not wait for the nice weather to get here and stay here.

I will not be able to get my first fill until April 12. I already made the appt but I am really scared about it. I am really excited about the nice weather we are finally getting here in Michigan. It makes me really want to get out and go for a nice long walk.

Hey I am from Michigan. I live in the Grand Rapids area. I was banded on Feb. 19, 2007.

Thanks so much for all you replies. I love this website you can find so much info and if you cant find it you can always ask. I am looking forward to my first fill. I feel more and more hungry as the days go by and I am really looking forward to my first fill. Thanks again.

I went to my first post op appt. yesterday and my doctor said to come in at 6 weeks to get a fill and then every two weeks after that. I have read on some of the threads that you sometimes can not feel the full effect of your fill for up to 2 weeks. So I guess I am asking is every two weeks to much.

I was banded on the 19th. I go for my first post op vistit on the 8th of March and I can not wait. I am hoping that my doctor will move me to the mushies stage. I am hating the full liquid stage.

It is so weird how the plans are so different. I went to a seminar on Dec. 28, 2006 and was banded on Feb. 19, 2007. My whole process only took a little less than 2 months. The most I will pay is $2250. Good luck to all still in the process!

How long before the strips are supposed to fall off? I am two weeks post op and not all of them have came off yet. Should I still just wait for them to fall off on there own?

Mary did you also use Dr. Schram and the Barix Clinics for your surgery? And if you did how long ago? I was just banded and I am looking forward to my first appt with him.

Just wanted to let you know that I went throught with my surgery and it all went fine. Dr. Schram was wonderful and my husband and I both really like him. The Barix Clinic was wonderful. It is nice because everyone is there for the same reason. The staff was very nice. If you want any info on anything just let me know I am interest in hearing how everything is going for you.

I was wondering about that also. I was made to cough in the hospital so it can not be all that bad for you. It just hurt real bad but that has even passed for me. I only have some burning in the port area every now and then when I have did to much.
