Hi, is there anyone who lives in or near Venus, Texas? I am a low BMI bandster and am getting down and very discouraged. I am sure I am not doing what I need to be doing. I need help. I need a buddy to push me in the right direction. I am sure I have started to put weight back on. Thanks Deborah

Hi, has anyone else gotten pain in their shoulder after eating. I think I may have eaten a little too much when this happens. It is just like the post op gas pains. Thanks, Deborah

Hi, I had my 4th fill on 11/1. Did good first 2 days with liquids and mushies. Now hard to keep things down. I do not know if I am just not eating slow enough or too big of bites. I do good in the mornings with my Vitamins, they all go down fine. I only got 0.25cc added to my band and the Doctor said I will notice a big difference. Any advice will help. Thanks, Deborah

Wow. That did help. Thank you so much for all the good info!!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has stretched their pouch out. How do you know if you did and will it return to normal? Just curious. Thanks, Deborah

Hi, I was banded on 6/28. I am feeling great but did anyone else feel like they were eating the same amount as before? I know it will change when I start getting fills, but just curious. Thanks, Deborah

Thanks guys!! That was a big help! Deborah

Hi, I am 10 days post op and I was wondering if anyone has used Mederma on their inscisions or if it is even needed. Trying to minimize any scars. Thanks, Deborah

I agree, the diets vary so much. I think I would go crazy on clear fluids for so long. I was on clear fluids for only 2 days, Now on mushies, then tomorrow (1 week out) I can start softer solids like canned fruit and whatnot. Hoping at my check up on Friday, I can move on to regular foods. Deborah

Hi, I am 5 days post op and I keep feeling like I need to burp really bad. Nothing happens, and I am taking the gas x strips too. It really hurts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Deborah

I was just banded on 6/28. If mine slipped and they offered that to me, I would jump at it. I think you have a few less restrictions with the sleeve.
