Does anyone have trouble walking and eating? Just about every morning I throw up. If I eat anything like 2 bites of grits or half a banana it comes up after that Im fine so the doctor gave me an X-ray and everything was fine. I take the acid reflux pills it don't seems to help, and I really can't keep anything down til after 11am. Anyone ever had these problems. If this keep up I think I'm gonna have it removed

I got 5ml removed from my band this morning, so far no vomiting. I hope that was the problem. Now I have no restrictions. Hopefully everything goes well with that

Today is my 1 year and I lost 50lbs with no fills. But I hate the band. But I know if I take it out u will gain it all back. The pain and I keep throwing up is not worth it. I'm gonna give it til the end of the year before deciding what to do.

In 2 weeks its been a year since I've been banded. No fills and 45 pounds down. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. U thought I would be down way more than that. But I guess its good with no fills and all. But I think its time for me to get one. Hopefully it don't open up a new issue for me

Do anyone know any doctors in fayetteville area who does fills

I had surgery on March 30. I have yet to have a fill. Why? Because my stupid doctor will not give me one. He says oh ur young, u can do it. If I could do it I wouldn't had surgery, jackass!!! I do feel good about the 40lbs I have lost but I think I can do better if I had a fill. Now that I haven't seen him in about 3 months, the office is calling wanting me to come in for a fill. I told the office I'm not coming in unless I get a fill. If he's not going to give me one I'm not wasting my time and gas to come. Now they are pissing me off...#frustrated#

Does anyone take diet pills while banded. I haven't had a fill yet, but I stay hungry a lot, I was thinking about taking a appetite suppressant.

Hey I got banded March 29 and I need to find a doctor who give fills in Fayetteville area. I got banded in Lumberton, and my doctor is tripping he don't wanna give fills so I gots to go.

Since being banded on the 29 of March I have only lost 15 lbs. If my doctor does not give me a fill when I go back on the 29 May I'm just gonna find me another doctor. I really think I need a fill. I need to experience it for myself to determine if I wanna keep getting them or not.

I went to the doctor yesterday. I thought I was going to get a fill since I haven't had one since my surgery on March 29. I wanted to cry because I was telling him I have no restrictions and I'm hungry all the time. He was like u don't need one it might open a new can of worms for you cause ur young and I think u can do it without one right now. So I go back in 2 weeks and I'm going to tell him I want one just so I know for myself rather it works for me or not. I really wanted to curse him out, but I know I haven't been doing what I needed to do for more weight loss. This is really frustrating.

I thought this journey would be easy. It's not kinda upsetting, I'm frustrated, haven't had a fill yet and my weight is at a stand still. I hope it gets better. My first fill is May 15. Hope it works for me.

I feel so discourage. Since getting banded on March 29 its like I'm at a stand still with my weight. I'm hoping I did the right thing, with getting this lap band. I don't get my first fill till 15 of May. Hopefully I can get some kind of restrictions then. I'm walking every morning 30 minutes. My diet isn't bad, just frustrated.#hope it will b worth it.

Can u use cream or cocoa butter on the scars. What do u guys use.

With the first fill do u feel any restrictions. Because I need something I can eat anything with no problem and I don't wanna keep doing that. Even if it's fruits and vegetables. I want some kind of restriction. Hopefully when I get my fill I will b better.

I gained 5lbs since surgery on 3-29 I'm so frustrated. I'm hoping once I get my fill I feel some restrictions, because right now I'm not doing so good. Back to work on the 14 April. I'm going to start my walking again hopefully everything go good.

I am 9 days op and I can eat anything without vomiting. Its like I didn't even have surgery, is anyone else the same. I don't think that's a good thing.

The incision by the belly button how long does it take to heal cuz if I try to bend that's what's hurt..

I'm post op day 6 amd been craving pickles and pickle juice. So I ate it with no problem is that ok or should I just stick with liquids. How long does the incision by ur belly button take to heal that's the only thing giving me trouble.

Has anyone tried protein shots from gmc stores or Walmart

Haven't had an appetite since I got banded on the 29. I guess that's good considering I lost 10 xtra lbs So hopefully I can keep it up

After the band did anyone have effects of seeing white lines going across their eyes. Has tp b frpm surgery bcus I never experience it b4.

I got banded March 29 that was a experience. I don't think I eva want to go through that type of pain How can ppl say they went to work 2 or3 days after. I don't know how they do it but cutos to u. I'm still n a little pain of course can't bend and sleeping on my back is the worse. Hope it will b all worth it at the end.
