Mine was empty until my 6 wk check up. The dr said he wanted my body to adjust and time for swelling to go down before he filled me. When I was filled he only put in 3cc but it was too much n had to take out 2 cc so I've only got 1 in. It's good restriction right now. I go back on July 27 foe 2nd fill. My band was giving me restriction when it was empty. in saying that everyone is different n experience different things doctors usually decide by the person. but good luck n hope all goes well.

U need to check on how much from a dr, nutritionist, or pharmacy tech. Vitamins r good in small amounts. I've taken classes in college about this n the vitamins that r Water soluble ain't to bad for ya if u get too much but the ones that r not (fat soluble) they r very dangerous ( one for example potassium). I will check my old papers from that class n see what it says. Hope this helps. Good luck n b safe! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Well I was banded on may 18 n it was an emotional time but I didn't cry just second guess my decision. I don't regret it at all but I have noticed they I am very or irritable at times. When I catch myself doing this I try to step back cause my 3 kids n wanderful husband don't deserve that. I have a great support system n rely on my faith a lot. Could not have done this without strength from God. When I feel blue I talk to my husband n pray for giudance, it really helps me. Good luck to all!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm talking about the glue not the strips, my strips fell off on their own.

I tried everything n the only thing I found to take it off was marykay oil free eye makeup remover. It came off by just rubbing with cotton ball no scrubbing. I have very sensitive skin n the tape/ glue always takes my skin with it even alcohol or baby oil didn't help. I wore it for 15 days post op n it started looking really nasty so from the advice of a friend I tried the Mary Kay stuff. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

My fill hurt. My doc didn't numb it???¥ I was expecting him too, he said next time it won't b as bad cause my tissue should be healed by then. I didn't have anything in my band n he put in 3 cc but was too much so he took out 2cc. He said my band was giving me restriction with nothing in it so guess that was good. Doc also said it shouldn't take much to get me in my "green zone" really good news!!! I've lost 37 lbs so far. When I started eating I gained 4 lbs but I'm losing again so happy for that. Hope everyone has a happy n safe Fourth! ???‰???º???¸ Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
