It happens e they said you are not the first & won't be the last , I had gained a few lbs and my Surgeon was texting and asking me when I was coming back in to see him because it had been a while and I wasn't so sure I should go see him being embarrassed but there was other things & issues involved , but I said heck with it because I could feel & see my self starting to eat a little more than I usually do ,surgeon is so cool , when I went in & discussed it with him , he did the barium swallow & fluro check , we both noticed I was little loose so WE decided on a adjustment(FILL), it was all good after that and he didn't judge me like I did myself , so if they are good Doctors then they will help you.

I never Drank Coffee because I had a very bad experience with it when I was younger , tried one more time after that and had about the same result , now however before Surgery I used to drink at least two 2 or 3 liter bottles of soda by myself a day , when I found out I was approved for surgery I weaned & stopped about 2 months prior hardest thing for me to do , because I would wake up and have a soda and then all day I would drink soda, now I still crave it once in a while but I don't want to be the 320lb woman that had health issues and couldn't walk so I just don't touch it , but I may have a glass or 2 of Tea , no sugar once in a while and that satisfies me.

You can ALWAYS ask your Surgeon and suggest that you want it to be fixed ask him/her so they will check it out I tell you just my suggestion but let me tell you I am so HAPPY that my surgeon did fix my Hiatal Hernia repair because I haven't had any issues with , heartburn, gerd or reflux since and I still eat spicy foods sometimes , before I would have been choking and having that nasty burning , I haven't touched tums, nexium, or rolaids, or any of that since my surgery .

I hope I can make it this time , I am REALLY going to try and make it.

I may be able to do Vegas just not around the Holidays.

Very pretty.

Try sugar free popsicles just a suggestion ,but yes call your Doctor & ask.

There's a bariatric pal meet & greet in April , that I am saving money for its on here I think in the bariatric news letter that Alex had posted , but I am so going to try & make this, it's in San Diego ,California.

2muchfun is pretty much right I had a small fill 2 weeks ago and I started feeling some more restriction about a week later , I now have so far 10 1/2 ccs in my 14 cc band , so give it time to settle & let's hope it's not to tight , but you know your body & journey , & I know mine , every one is different, & we all have had our issues , good luck.

I never had no staples , this is confusing to me because I never had staples , yes my Surgeon just did the stitches that dissolve , but when I went for x rays for something at my pcp's office can't remember what the X ray's were for but she said oh there's your band , but no mention of staples ever when my Surgeon does the fluro and barium we don't see them so why are they doing staples now , I can't remember anyone having staples , except for my Aunt because that's how they used to do wls they would staple your stomach , I had a few stitches and a few of the clear medical tape on them till they fell off by there selves.

Dancing , walking and laughing.

My band does not lie rods I try every once in a while I will take a tiny bite of some kind of starchy food but if it feels like it doesn't want to stay down so I don't eat any more and wheat bread has to be real toasted for me to even try, so I usually don't eat it, don't get e wrong I miss my sandwiches, tortillas , since I was a meat and potato's girl but since being banded there are jut some foods that my band says no way.

As I posted some where else on this wls site someone or people in general ask does wls work it does if you work with it & don't think it's a quick fix , just look at the Woman who posted this & I know of others who have done well.

You just need to subscribe to it & you can also check the side or maybe when the person who started the chapter meetings will send you a email ,but if you look above at the other posts then you will see when the next meetings are.

@@lisacaron Just beautiful all the way around , that was so neat of both your husband & you. HAPPY ANIVERSERY.

@@gowalking you look sooo good .

Yes there are certain meds that will make you gain weight , we have to be careful , I just had a minor surgery & it was with injections & I gained a few lbs in the week after but the weight came back off thank goodness , & that was in August but since then I lost 8 more lbs because of eating right, but I have thyroid issues so I fluctuate all the time.

I have to wait 15_30 minutes before I can take a small sip of water just make sure it goes down & I stop eating other wise I will slime & everything will come out .

@Melondoll Oh okay well that is good I understand I just had to make sure because there have been other people & trolls that want to just get into a debate , I am glad you are a smart person and seeked out help to find another Surgeon that would help you , that's all I was trying to say.

@@MamaRita yes we get worried right before surgery ,then after surgery we wander what did we do & we start noticing different things , I also felt tugs if I moved the wrong way , so yes most of us do get worried & hope we didn't mess anything up , I am sure you will be fine ,but like I said ANYTHING you are concerned about always talk with your surgeon, just so you can be at ease , remember it helped me to write down what ever or whenever I had a pain so I could remember & ask my Surgeon , I really like my Surgeon because I can text or call him Anytime.

You are new & just had major surgery , yes it is probably your port , don't be worried till you talk with your doctor , also remember they did sew your port or stuff in your stomach to a muscle & we didn't know at the time & you will find out that there are muscles we never use , so don't get to worried ,till then & if you want to ask any questions ASK that's what their for , it helps & has helped me to write down things, so when I go to see my Surgeon I don't forget because I know I will ,just a suggestion.
