Hopefully

Hello, I had lap band last January. Thou I have lost weight but have not been doing well. I have had a a port issue from the beginning. Which consist of constant soreness. It went further and I had sever pain and ended in the hospital in for 4 days. With no explanation of why. I have lost 40 pounds and am happy with it. I finally got approval for port revision surgery along with the possibility of removal of adhesion. I also may have a hernia and my band has been empty for a long time. I also have reflux bad. I have no fills since July. A lot of not doing well is partially my fault as I have no restriction and I am hungry. I hope this surgery helps and I can have a fill and get back into the swing of things. Has anyone have similar issues? Would love to hear from you.

Has anyone out there had to have their port moved or as the doctors say revised? They are thinking that mine may have become loose and or it keeps pressing on a nerve. I told that it is a 1 percent chance that this happens. Not feeling to swift about this. Would love to hear from others.

I am feeling like a total failure. I had my lapband done on Jan. 10. I was doing just great with no problems. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I stop loosing weight and honestly was sticking to what they told me to eat. Now two weeks later I am thinking why bother I am not loosing. I have a appointment this Monday to discuss a fill. I don't know what to expect if they do a fill. Can so one tell me wha t happens during a fill and also after. Do u think it will help me? I feel hungry noe where before I did not. I am hoping someone will explain what happens.

i was banded on Jan 10, 2013. Today I had my first fill and I don't feel anything different. Am I suppose.to? wwhat can I expect in the few days. It took along time to get this fill almost 6 months .

Hello everyone, I am looking for size 16 pants, if you can help me out I will pay for the shipping in advance. Thanks

Hello, It has been awhile since I posted. I had lap band surgery done on Jan. 10 of this year. I have lost about 40 pounds and have not yet had a fill. I am starting to have a few problems I was wondering if anyone had anything similar to me. Where my port is, it just plai hurts when I move, not all the time but good enough. I also now seem to have bad heart burn. I take achiphex for that, but it does not seem to help. I went to the drs and they did a cat scan and I am waiting on that. I am becoming very uncomfortable and can't figure out why. I was hoping to have a fill, but I don't think that is going th happen now . Any suggestions I wou,d love to hear and hope that everyone is doing well.

I have size 22 and 20 blue jeans. If anyone one wants them all you have to is pay the shipping. Just let me know.

Hello, I have size 22 blue jeans and cordaroy pants and a couple of dress pants. Just pay the shipping and I will send to you.

Well normally me awaiting a snow storm I would be stocking up on junk.. Don't even have a desire to do so. Waiting for 15 inches of snow. And very high winds. They are calling it a blizzard .

All my life I have never eaten healthy. Now that I am banded I am doing my best to eat correctly. Can you guys give some help? I am really not educated when it comes to protein. Can you suggest to me some foods that are high in protein that is considered moist? Thanks got your help,

Mine looked very much like yours and itched crazy. Try not to itch the area. If not any better or gets worse call the dr. Mine stopped after a while.

I wAs banned on Jan. 10. For some reason I just can't seem to get warm. Turned up the heat have layers on on the house. I have to go to the doctors to drop my blood pressure med down. If I stand up fast I get dizzy. Anyone else have any of these problems.

I know the road are bad. The doctor can be reached by phone. I would call just to ease your mind. Don't get upset just check it out.

I too had pain when I would breath in deep. Mine passed.

I know that it is the beging of my journey but I am upset. So here is my story, I was banded on Jan 10th, the surgery went very well and no problems. I was told for eating I should have 1 ounce of water at a time to increase this as tolerated. I was also to have 1 ounce of protein every 20 mins. Never having liquids with food separated only by 20 mins. I have followed this to the t. There is not much to eat and I understand it. I am not hungry at all. My problem how the hell did I gain a pound. This is at the begging of this, how can this be. Has this happened to any one else?

I was wondering how long after being banded, did you all get your first fill? I have to go to the doctors this week. It will be the first time since my surgery that I have seen him. Should I expect a fill at this time?

I will pay for the shipping and am hoping someone would have a jacket. I don't have one and it is getting colder.

I am out 9days and the longest incision is very red and oh so itchy. I am resisting the scratching ofthe area, bit it is very red. I have a very soft shirt on, but I think like today on the treadmill it might rub. I worried about infection. Has this happened to any one else? Would lov e to hear from you.

Thank you so very much for responded to my need a coat. I have already gotten one, but thanks .

I had my surgery one week ago. I have started to get pain in my lower right shoulder. I cant imagine what going on. Any thoughts?

Would love the coat. Can you email me at Cindybo57@aol.com so we can talk about mailing, etc.

I was banded on Jan. 10th, and everything went well. Two days after, I started to burp a lot . I like to know if this is okay, should I be concern? I also when I get up in the morning I start to get some pain in the lower part of my throat. I had a hernia repaired also. Once I get up and moving it goes a way. Is this normal? Also, my biggest concern is the upper part of my stomach is so very swollen; is this normal? My last concern is I haven't eaten much, but I have not had a bowl movement, I not uncomfortable, is this okay? I have tried to contact the nutristants but she out with the flue. So much appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks all, you helped me a lot!

I have not yet gone to a fill yet. I think if I was treated like that I would find a new dr. I am sorry this happen to you.
