Everything has gone pretty well for me , so glad i did it. Good luck to you

I was liquid 10 days ahead and I know it helped me be prepared for the 5 day liquid after and then the mush days. You will do just fine though I am sure. Take it slow getting up and down cause it pull alittle at the port area. Walk all you can to help with the gas you will have. The was the best advise i got and it does work at getting the gas out quicker. Take you pains meds faithful for the first day or so and let you self heal in those days. And I think you will do great. Just know that like many of us you have probably tried many many other ways and this is the one that will give us the skill to finally getit done. Will be praying alll goes well and it is a great success for you.

I ask the dr and he said it would be a small filll?? but that it would bother me that much. I don't know though , maybe I will call rhonda the diatitian that has been helping out about thing. She works directly with him oh this. HUMMMMM

The ONLY thing that helped me was to walk walk walk. It helped in every direction. Gas, Nausea , and gave me someenergy so I could rest better. Now I didn't walk a mile then but just is marks of 15 minutes 3 or 4 times a day and at least one of those the steps and that helped with the gas alot. It came out in all directions( not to be crude. And I didn't worry about the oz I took in because it kept me stressed so the nurse said just to keep something to sip on around at all times and that finally worked for me and I got in almost all I need every day.

I have my first fill on sept . 15 and to be honest i am a little afraid. Have heard both bad and ok results on here at different times and this is happening the day before we leave on vacation. Yuck .

Wow you have gone through alot. I personally have thin hair so was worried but haven't had any problem. I am so glad I had this done and to me it is worth it all.

Good for you so are you on your liquids now?

You will do just fine. I didn't tell anyone but imediate family and don't plan to right now. Figure it is my business. And I did have a hernia fix while doing Lapband, didn't know I had it but it became my answer to the questions why I wasn't here or there or what was wrong. Worked for me and I didn't have to tell a lie which I wouldn't anyways , just wouldn't answer or change subject. Good days ahead for you I am sure. I am two weeks after surgery and doing pretty good now. Not ever hungry, which amazes me.
