tracey-ann

I was banded June 1st, 2011 since my surgery i have lost a total of 18lb but i really expected to have lost a lot more. I got my first fill July 12th and my band is 5cc i have lots of restriction now and think i should see some improvement however i am starting to get depresed. Any advice?

I am 15 days post op and was expecting to start losing massive amounts of weight right away so I can relate to how you are feeling, however i am feeling better and after researching all the other surgery options I feel the lapband is the best option for me. Just give your body a chance to heal properly and follow your doctors instructions and do what you are supposed to and it will work, We did not gain all this weight overnight so just give it some time,

I was banded on June 1st, 2011, my doctor has advised me to stay on full liquids but i am able to eat regular foods in small portions but i have to chew them very well and i am fine. I am afraid that this may cause slippage is this normal please help me.

Today is my 7th day post op i have lost 10lbs so far. My Doctor has now given me the okay to eat soups and yogart what sould i expect moving forward.

I was banded 6/1 this is my 8th day post op and i know just how you feel just drink lots of Water and walk and it does get better. I lost 12 in 7 days it feels real good just stick with it and stay positive it is only gonna get better.

I am 7 days post op and was always regular before the surgery I was having the same problem and started drinking lots of Water and the problem has subsided.
