Ladies- I was banded on February 13th, and had my first fill on March 14th. I am currently experiencing severe cramping due to my monthly visiter. Before my surgery, I never had an problems with my period. But for the past few days, I've had incredible pain. My doctor said that this is normal for the first couple of months, but I just wanted to see if anyone else experienced this. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Ashley

Hi guys... I don't think I've posted anything on here in a while. During the first week on liquids I lost 15 pounds, before that I'd lost 7. So I'm down a total of 22, however since I've been back on solid foods, I gained 5 pounds... I've been very discouraged, and upset. I had my first fill on March 14th. I've been excerising, however, I'm still not losing weight. I've scheduled another fill for Monday...I don't feel any restriction. Does anyone feel this way??? Please help..

Welcome!!!

That's what it says when I tried to enter the chat room as well?? Any ideas????

Today was my companies March Birthday party.... I'm still in the soft/mushie phrase, and for what I've read cake is not on the list. So I'm standing there feeling awkward, as everyone around me to talking about how good the cake is. Then my boss notices I'm not eating, and decides to annouce his findings to everyone, like I'm a art exhibit. I've managed to stay on my plan, but it was really hard to stand my ground when everyone is looking at you, expecting you to eat. My excuse, while true, was that I didn't want to ruin my appetite because I hadn't eaten lunch yet. Lord, that cake looked good. Any advice for future situations???

Welcome!!! Congratulations on having a successful surgery. I was raised in Chicago, but I currently live in Houston. Who did your surgery? I have been banded for about a month, and it's the best decision I could have ever made. I hope that this site provides you with as much support as it has offered me.
