Flying Rrght After A Fill?
Mandajo111 replied to sissy12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got a card with my box. You can order a permanent one from lapband.com. It's free. -
I haven't experienced it but it might be something going on with your port. Call your dr ASAP!

I'm super excited and had a good visit with my doc today, he was thrilled with my progress. I was so relieved, I'm happy with how I've been doing but it was nice to have the confirmation. Hope I take the fill well!

Just Had My First Fill!
Mandajo111 replied to Mandajo111's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
He put in 1.5 cc's and I had 4 in from the beginning. I'm at 5.5 in a 10 cc band. I definitely feel tighter now I guess it's kinda wait and see what's bearable. I got some soft food down yesterday. -
Hello, I'm from Jax and love my surgeon, Dr. Pinnar. Down 32 pounds total.

Is it normal to burp a lot after a fill? -

Port Question
Mandajo111 replied to newlybanded2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took me a couple of weeks before I found it, but mines near my belt line. Luckily, I hate belts! :-) -
Good luck! Just had my first too. Sounds like you're doing great :-)

Flying Rrght After A Fill?
Mandajo111 replied to sissy12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm flying next week, has anyone had a problem with the scanners? I do keep my card in my wallet, so hopefully, I won't. I'm just worried about being embarrassed, I guess. -
Phew, thanks for the posts! I'm 5 weeks post surg and went water skiing yesterday. Had a couple good wipeouts and a total blast!

Is anything off-limits? For example, water skiing, bungee jumping, activities that jostle you around?

Hiatal Hernia Repair When Banded?
Mandajo111 replied to miswoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had band and hernia repair on 5/31 and the chest pain finally got better about 5 days ago. It's more occasional now but was constant for a good 10 days after surgery. Hang in there. -
I'm 2 weeks post-op and tummy bloating is getting better but still there. I've been wearing dresses to work. Today I wore pants but unbuttoned them and folded it in, luckily they stayed up with the zipper!
-
Do you count protein shakes as one of your 3 meals per day or can they be supplemental to them if needed?
-
Thanks for all the responses. I'm a newbie, so it's interesting to see how something's work for some and different things for others.
-
Probably sounds weird but my tummy is super itchy! Surgery was 5/31. I still have 2 Steri strips in place and blotchy red marks around them and where the others were. Anyone else have a problem?

Does Yoplait Make A Sugar Free Yogurt

Dannon has a "diabetic friendly" yogurt I found at Publix (I live in the south). Low sugar and low carb and small cups :-) -
Itching From Steri Strips?
Mandajo111 replied to Mandajo111's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks, I've been using lotion around but no on the area and I was thinking about taking some benadryl. Thanks, I was starting to feel like a freak, lol. -
I've considered chewing and spitting it out, too, so you aren't alone. 11 days post-op and did 7 days liquid pre-op. Can't wait for a little cube of cheese or something!!!
