Has anyone had trouble with there sugar since there surgery????

I had my surgery 15 months ago and just recently I've been having low sugar ... going 2 see the Dr. Soon.. just wondering .. ty for the feedback..

Your in a great place just post any questions on hear and you will get lots of understanding and answers...we all have people that just dont get it....you will do GREAT dont let anyone bring you down or make you think you did the wrong thing you are changing your life for the better im proud of u...hang in there.....

yea thats great you can eat bread i cant like i said because the carbs exspand and get stuck...im on my 4th fill at first i was fine once i started my fills they were getting stuck.....

for me slime is when i eat 2 fast and the food is packed above my band my flem billds up on top of the food ....dont be scared...you will do great ....

I would say the bread...i cant eat bread pasta or rice its hard for me .......everyone is diff just take small bites and eat slow......

Its Hard but Hang in there.You will do Great...

Welcome ...Good luck you will do GREAT .....

dont be nervous you will do great....

some Dr.s are diffrent but most of them will put the port on the left side of your belly...

you will feel restriction just take your time when you eat...im going for my 4th fill friday and ive been doing fine . Like i said take your time when you eat and dont drink with your food.....Good luck ..You will do GREAT....Jim

Go see your Doctor......Feel better.

Double Ditto..........

Just in case, 4 all the New people. When your bands are complete, your first month or so, you are healing, and your band is open, until you get your fills. So its OK if you put on a few pounds at first. (Post-Op). Don't Beat yourself up or get discouraged. Stay on track. Just writing this thread because, I've been reading alot of new Bandsters feeling down 4 gaining a few pounds in the beginning. I don't think their Doctors are giving them proper instructions and step by step information on how the Lap Band works. That's why I love this site because we all help each other....

and also dont keep going 2 the scale it will drive you nuts trust me i did it. Now i get on the scale every 2-3 weeks...Your doing great stay on track and you'll do well.

Im also shocked your dr is acting like that. My Dr. sees me every 6-7 weeks 2 keep me on track, and 2 monitor my progress. I would have a talk with him and find out why he feels that your next fill shoud be when your ready and not when he feel you should have one.....After a fill my Dr. tells me not 2 eat for at least 12 - 24 hours maybe thats why your having stomach cramps.......Feel better....keep your head up and Stay Positive....

Im so sorry your in pain...It sounds like a air pocket it happened 2 me also and it lasted a week and a half but it went away i just kept walking around the house and it woud go away slowly until it was gone ...i hope it goes away soon feel better....Jim

it should be on the Left side of your belly ..you might not feel it right away untill you heel from your sur. but dont worry its there..I did the same thing after sur. but i thought it was on my right but it was my scare..(LOL)...you guys will find it ..Keep your head up and have a great Journey....You will do GREAT... Jim

Sarah don't beat yourself up . You r healing right now your band is open all the way try your best 2 stick 2 the Dr.s plan as you start getting your fills you will get full real quick . you will adjust 2 the new life style don't get discouraged you will do great .....Jim :

yes i had the same problem. my pains went away within about 2-3 weeks. give it time it will go away ..You are still healing just take it easy..
