Obviously that moderator works for your Dr. It is a known factthat many of the moderators on other boards represent other Dr.'s She had no right and I would take legal action, she needs to be stopped!

A fill at 3 weeks is not the norm...most Dr.s do not give a fill until atleast 6 weeks post op.

Sounds like you are totally normal to me in your healing the pressure is most likely from the gas and the bloatedness and swelling from surgery , it gets better each day, try some liquid tylenol..Walking also helps to rid the gas,walk walk walk whenever possible , heating pad also works well for discomfort Dont worry yourself about being full on liquids, the main thing is to get in your liquids so you do not get dehydrated. Hang in there it does get better Good Luck and Congratulations on your new band!

Enjoy the compliments, you deserve them, with each one you get it only gets better and better and keeps you motivated to continue to succeed COngrats to you on the 40 " somethings" Keep it going!

Great Job! Way to go.. That is awesome...Keep it up..

It has been my experience that anything that ice cold drinking will cause my band to tighten horribly.

I can say I was banded almost 17 months ago and I have lost 95 lbs from a size 20-22 to 8-10 It is not easy, my mind has to do alot of the work, I do not rely on the band to do it all, I lost the majority of my weight with 3 fills(2.5cc's), then I was unfilled for 2 months on APril 20 to June 20th and have gotten 2 fills since June 20th and Iam at 1.5 cc's and I am good at this level.. We all are different, different ages, different body styles, different metabolisms and different brains. You get out of the band what you put into it is how I see it. It is not a magic wand, it is a tool to help us, that is it. It does require work on our part.
