I was banded on 12-29-11 and I was in for my 3rd fill last week and my port seams to be moving around. Is this a normal thing?.. Just curious And I have also notices last night that its a lil sore at times.. This normal?

I was also banded 12-29-11 and I'm only down 11 pounds. I'm very frustrated but I'm not having to lose much. My thing is just making the right food choices.

Im the same way but its Temptation... I dont suffer from it tho. I will have someone else buy it and i just take one lil bitty bite and savor it as long as I can and then my craving is cured. And doing this I have never gained a single pound from this, Only cured a temtation!.. Its will power and Just cause your banded doesnt mean you have to suffer from all goodies.... BUT if your one that cant resist just taking the one lil bitty bite then DONT DO It!!!... Hoppy Easter

Mee Too... I live in Burleson , Just south of Fort Worth;) I was banded 12-29-11. Im doing ok!. I had less to lose so its coming off really slow. Started at 180 now im 165. And i can still eat pretty mcu anything besides flower tortillias and carbanated drinks. I still get to enjoy my vodka with water and a lime and i now add a sweet n low to it Im here to help ya out if I can.

Scrambled eggs are just finr Per My Dr.. I love em!

I was in for my seconf fill yesteday and i start mushy foods today..I was at 4.5 cc leaving yesteday but could barly get down my cup of water. Dr. Snow took ou .5 cc and water flows better so needless to say im scared to start my mushys later on. Way to got on the wt. loss!!

Im juat a few days from being 6 weeks post op with having one fill and still having NO restriction.. The only real issue im having is belching (buurping) all the time. I can just be talking to someone and have to buurp uncontrolably and anytime I sit up or stand up I buurp uncontrolably. Is this normal?

Im 6 weeks post op with having one fill and still having NO restriction.. The only real issue im having is belching (buurping) all the time. I can just be talking to someone and have to buurp uncontrolably and anytime I sit up or stand up I buurp uncontrollably it seam like its much worse on some days more than others. Is there something stuck? Cause there is a pain right in the center of my chest right below rib cage..Is this normal?

Good luck with your New journey!

Im four weeks post op yesterday and had my first fill yesterday aswell. I have been having this upper pain in the center of my chest and at time the pressure is like a sever gas pain/bubble...It comes and go but I dont like it at all!!! Is this going to be an on going thing and i just better get used to it? Is there something i can take to help with it like maalox gas ex? Any all all helpfull suggestions are greatly appreciated. Hellllp;)

Oh man.. there was no way I could have gone back to work!! I was down for 5 days straight I went back after 9 days and was still moveing very slow. Everyone is diff.

Dr. Snow is my Dr. too and YEs he ROCKS!!!!!!

Your band has slipped?? If your small pouch has stretched out?? And if you have had the I-band (Plication) and your stomach might have issues from the sewing of the stomach, maybe streched out from over eating at the beginning of your healing process and learning how to eat. Thanks..

I got the Iband on 12-29-11 and it hasent quite been one month yest but everything seams to be going normal as befor the band. My question is There will be no fluid put into the band untill after one month cause Dr. said he didnt want to fill band intill body gets adjusted to it. But i have no restriction so is it possable to strech my stomach out? the part that was folded and sewn up? I do get full alot faster but it just dont last long then im hungery again. Also no wt. lose yet. Im guessin I just need to stay patient and it all will come together soon.. Any storys are welcomed to hear.. Thanks

Yes! Before and after. I used to drink vodka with tonic water but now it's vodka with water lime and a half packet sweet n low or vodka cranberry juice. I haven't tryed anything else yet.

And Dr, already started me on regular food but just be cautious.. I had the Iband done so for another 2 weeks i will have no restrictions untill my first fill on the 26th. My question/problome is Today for lunch i hade captin d's and i finished 2 pc. of fish(with batter on it) I have been feeling sick with like a burning and extream fullness in my stomach. I have a feeling that i might have over stuffed my belly. I did take 2 maalox and tis hasent helped at all Im not eating for the rest of the night hoping this will eventally subside.. Anyone else experienced this feeling.. I feel so guilty now.

Oh Hey!!!, I see Dr. Snow too and I also had my first post op with him yesterday too I was banded on 12/29. I had the Iband and i have no restriction aswell. He started me on redular foods but to take it easy till i come in for my first fill on the 25th.

My Dr. gave me Phenergine suposatories and they were a life saver.. Ask you Dr. for them

I was banded on 12/29 and untill i started to push the protine shales Yes i had ZERO energy. So I would focus on them protine drinks

To much food?.. I was banded on 12/29 and this is what i ahve been consumming through out my day... (2) 8fl.oz muscle milk, (1 )6oz fat free yogurt, (2) sugarfree popcycles, 1 1/2 cups broth. This is what i have been eating throught out my entire days.. It this too much? too less?? or ok ?? Please let me know

and im getting the squeezing pains in my upper chest area several times a day. its like some squeezing out a rag but it lets go. im still very very sore and i removed my bandages but not the steristreps. im sill very weak and im tryn to gut up and around more but just so tired.. is all this normal?

i was banded on 12/29 and im still very very sore.. Gas pains in my chest, sholders and sholder blades. I have walked and walked and been taking gas X Nothing is helping. Is this normal?

i sure hope so, thank you so much!!!
