Hello I had my lap band/plication in may 9,2012. Exactly one year ago. I've lost 47 pounds couldn't be happier since that's the most I've ever lost. Wish it was more but hoping by next year I have had reached my goal. I look way better then last year that's for sure. Keep your head up and you can do it!!! If your scared it will be for a lil while but the benefits are worth it!

How Long Does Hair Loss Last!?
Sandrie replied to maegan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm taking 7500mg biotin and keeping up with protein. I have thinning already on top of my head it's bad. Only 3 1/2 months I want it to stop. I cried today so sad. If you have thinning spots you can use toppix (powder for scalp) which helps. I have ordered a custom lace wig for top of my head since I feel that bad. Weight is coming off normal which is great but I wish I had more hair to cover the loss... -

Today is my 2 month post op! Went for my check up lost a total of 32pounds! I'm sooooo happy! I'm wearing some capris today that I haven't fit into for the last two years. Going to knotts berry farm next month so I feel more confident I'll fit too! I'm having a pool party this Saturday and feel great!!!! -
When Did You Get Your First Fill?
Sandrie replied to newskinnygal's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm post op two months on Monday! I had surgery on may 9th. Haven't gotten a fill yet! I had the lap band with plication done so it doesn't involve a lot of fills because I'm terrified of needles in my stomach. I've lost total of 29 pounds so I'm happy! We will see what my nurse says if I need one or not(yikes) How much cc's do u get on your first fill? -
I'm like 2 months post op Monday I had my surgery with plication on may 9th. Hoping I don't get a fill but kind of nervous! I have my appt on Monday the 9th and if I have to get a fill I might go for 1 or 2cc's.

Has anyone had constipation? I'm 7 days post op and had none! I took a stool softener on Tuesday night(nothing). Had 1 cube of a chocolate laxative this am at 4am. Hopefully it will work. I will drink more water today. I'm scared, I've never had this problem! Do u think it's because I have been on a liquid diet for 3 1/2 weeks? Pre diet surgery I had no problem! Give me ur advice?
-
Finally had success yeah!!!!!thanks for ur tips!!!
-
GOOD LUCK SHY!!!! I was thinking when u were going to get surgery!!! Im feeling better thank goodness. Hope all goes well and quick for u.
-
I did mine within months not in one day! Every doctor is different!
-
Has anyone had constipation yet? I had lots of bowel movements pre-diet. But after surgery nothing! Hoping that it has to do because I haven't eaten food yet? Start mushies on saturday!
-
GOOD LUCK!!!! Be positive! Everything will go great!!!
-
Hi, yes I'm still on liquids till Friday. Saturday I will start on mushies finally. Monday was my first official day WITHOUT nausea! Yay!!! I drank my protein good up to 63 grams. Hoping it's the beginning to the great feeling of having this band/plication.(cross fingers)

-
Is constant burping ok?
-
I'm doing good! Getting hungry but today I finally got 35 grams of protein soooo happy! I'm going to eat some jello and more protein, hoping this is quick. Saturday I start my mushy foods finally! No longer using pain meds only at night to sleep. I do feel like band is up in my chest so when I feel tight I inhale and exhale. It helps
