HI guys went to my Dr. today had my first fill, wasnt bad at all..actually I feel no different then yesteray, but I can tell you this I am sooo hungry, can I eat some mushy food instead of liquids?

Than you guys! Hope everyone is having a good night...had me some mushy food, couldn't. Eat much...feel full fast...i will stay on liquids for today and tomorrow. Just to see how i feel on my second day.

Tams, hi there you sound upset...lol. My Dr. Didnt give me any restrictions, but i like to hear everyone's feedback and about there fills as well...that's why this is a forum...you have yourself a nice evening.

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago, today was my first fill.

23 days after my surgery and I still feel a little swollen, I feel the port is a little hard is that normal?

Thank you guys, I loved all your answers! I havent weight my self recently but I know I am losing I can see the results, my first fill will be on Nov 28th hope all goes well, considering that I am still a little sore and I can acutally feel my port is that normal?

Hi everyone, day 11 after my surgery, and I am starving!!! I cheated and had me some noddle soup with some mash potatoes with mashed carrots, started to feel alittle wierd after I ate, is this normal? hate liquid diets I am tired of the same chicken and beef broth! please advise! thanks

Hi everyone, so I was banded on 11/1/11..i have many complaints, even considering taking the lap band off. Since the lap band, I have a hematoma, still doesnt goe away, moved to Florida and some Dr,s are refusing to see me due to the liabilty, my stomach is sour and swollen, and changing guaze like every 2 hrs, now I am experiecing some chest pain after eating, I wonder what is next, I thought this was the most easiest way than any other diet...I feel depressed! And I am tired all the time! please advise! Thanks in advance.

I lived in Jersey, thats where i had my lap band surgery, on Oct 19 my husband's job send him to Florida, I stay in Jersey for the surgery on 11/1/11 on the 7th I saw my surgeon, everything was ok, so I flew to Fl on the 8th, I speak to my surgeon about all my problems and at the same time been trying to get a Lap Band dr in Fl, most dr's wont take me because of the liabilty, Tomorrow I will find out if another dr will take me for the follow up visit , crossing my fingers, but as of now i have a small hematoma, tomorrow I will go back to the hospital to have my lap band check out to see if anything is ok....I will follow up as much as I can until I can get a Dr, here in Fl, its just relly frustrastng with all these changes!

liquid diet!!!!!! hematoma!!!

Hi everybody, today I started bleeding from my port insicion, went to the ER they told me the wound is healing well, no infection detected, they told me to keep changing gause and take keflex to prevent infection, does this sound kind of right? please advise....

thank you so much! I hope to feel better soon, now the Dr's in florida wont see me, because i am out of state patient.....i am so upset!

Thank you guys, i did go to the ER and they just told me it was a small Hematoma to keep changing gauze, no infection, but they gave me Keflex to prevent infection. I had my surgery in Jersey, so its very hard now that I live in Florida, have a an appt with my new Dr, in Florida for the 30th of Nov. I still talked to my original surgeon and told me the same thing the ER had told me....I just want it all to go away!

Thanks Corrigan, you always have all the answers! so how are you doing I see your progress!! Good for you! I will def keep an eye on it.....Kinda got scare there, matter of fact still I am but I will stay positive! Cleaning the wound with poroxide and adding alittle bit of ointment keept it with gause. (sigh)

Thank you! Wishing you all luck too! keep me posted!
