Yes thats what I have called it all my life! And I have never blown as many Buster in my life for so long since I have been Banded!! LMAO

Its been 4 weeks and 1 day since was banded, I have had a few beers in the last week or so, but found that I can only drink 1 1/2, 12 oz cans an am full but seem to be no problems keeping it down. I have also tried Vodka water and it seems to be ok also! With this being said though, I had a total loss of 35 lbs and in the last week I gain 3 lbs back! So now I decided to stick to water since I got banded to lose weight not gain it back!! My first fill will be on Aug 15.

I seem to be able to eat things just fine also! Certainly not as much, but I have had food stuck 2 time an even spit up them 2 times! Very gross! Worse then my Kids when they was Babies! Hopefully the fill on Aug 15 will help!

I was banded on 30 Jun 2011 and total loss of 32 LBs <BR><BR><IMG src="http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/wnKHvfo/weight.png">

30 June 2011, 10 lbs post op, 32 lbs total, first fill Aug 15! I actualy gain 2 lbs!!

Try triple dosing with Mylicon, you can find it in the Baby section of any drugstore, you need to walk alot! When you finally blow the Busters you will feel good!

I planned my surgery pretty good. My surgery was on 30 June, on 1 July was a regular day off as well as 4th of July and was back to work on Tuesday 5 July. I did have to take 7 July off because Of being so Bloated and severe Stomach cramps. And I am a Desk Jockey, Hope this helps

I was banded on 30 June. During pre-op diet i had lost 23 lbs and at my 2 week post surgery appointment i had lost and additional 9 lbs. I am now 4 weeks post op and have gained 3 lbs back! I am really trying to stick to the diet so I don't understand the gain. Any Advice?
