    help anyone have a similar experience. banded on 8/9/11 lost 35 lbs. first month. 2nd month nothing. staying same weight. suspect vitamin deficiency per my blood test, maybe body is holding onto weight since i lost so quickly. only have 3ccs of saline fill right now. any thoughts? suggestions? please. thanks.

    getting my first fill on friday and am nervous. can someone tell me how it works. will my opening be smaller? will i get fuller faster? what is the difference. its been 6 weeks and i have lost 35 pounds and feel really happy and grateful.

    had the lap band on the 9th of august. not sure if this is a silly question or not, have just started on cream soups and looking forward to puree tomorrow. question: what does feeling full feel like? is it the same feeling as before? I feel real full right now after a bit of pureed potato soup, not sure if this a full feeling or just stomach hurting from stomach getting used to something other than liquid. comments please

    mashed potatoes ok, puree chicken just put a small amount in blender and puree, veggies too, just puree, carrots are the best,,, I start this on wed, cottage cheese ok, scrambled eggs(mushy) I will be eating mostly chicken and mashed potatoes, plain yogurt ok too hope this helps

    I have about the same amount as you, I started out at 200, lost 17 lbs. before surgery diet, had my surgery one week ago and now have lost another 5 lbs. slow and steady, want to get down to 125. I am short, 5 foot 3 and small boned so that should be good. I was trying to do that weight ticker, found the site, went in and set it up and then how do I get it back onto here? thanks for the help and good luck.

    Just saw that you have Dr. Madan, thats my doctor as well, I had the surgery on the 9th and you are so lucky, he is amazing and caring, my constipation was very rare because I had a muscle relaxer for big back pain before surgery- and it constipated me so I hadnt had a bowel movement for 5 days before surgery or the surgery would have been a breeze, Dr. Madan was there for me, he is fabulous..... good luck.... my e-mail is sheryl52@mindspring.com and I will be very very happy to hold your hand if you want to e-mail. take care.

    just had the surgery 6 days ago, pain from insision and laproscopic surgery is very very minimal, be careful of vicadin, if you dont have pain, dont take it, take liquid tylenol, i became so constipated and dehydrated that i ended up in the ER with an IV to give me fluids because I didnt follow instructions which is why I am giving you a heads up...... just take the pain reliever if you need it for a day or two but be very very careful of constipation and take ducalax for that and gas X,,,, most important.... this is the lesson I have learned the hard way..... WALK WALK WALK DRINK DRINK AND FOLLOW ALL OF YOUR DOCTORS RULES

    OMG, got banded on the 9th. ended up in the ER yesterday, dehydrated, didnt drink enough water, the constipation is so intense, guess its guess also; this is day 4 and I just need the constipation to quit, think its gas too. lungs hurt too. how are you doing with the drinking? soooooooooo important, hard for me because I feel so full.
