Banderina

It will affect you! Go for one drink..have a small glass of wine..cranberry juice is a bad choice..if you get drunk then make bad food choices like hitting up a diner after or a drive thru or raiding the fridge you WILL regret it...!

For lapband brand 10cc is standard..they also have a larger band 14cc..doc decides what nand suits your body..

This is true..some bands are 4cc, some are 10, 11, 14..each doc is different..some dont need fills..some docs will go slow and some take the advanced route..mine was 4cc first fill...some only get 1cc..some get a fill during surgery some dont..i didnt..it varies greatly!

Four fills and how many cc's?..whats your band size? I have 4Cc'sin a 10cc band and I feel it!! Sounds like you should feel something..i didnt get the band to be on a diet..i did it to be satisfied with less food..and its working!..you should check with your doc..maybe you have a leak or need more cc's..its hard to say but I would think you should feel something by now..

Oh you will know! because you will most likely have to bring it up! Or if you eat too much at once it will be painful going down through the band. You learn quick. The hardest part has been waiting and going slow. Food gets cold. I hate that...Im still learning and adjusting...I used to think I 'll never throw up..Ive thrown up many times in the last week.

10cc is standard for Lapband..14cc is large. Realize Bands have other.sizes..i believe 11cc

Im only one at one fill of 4cc and I cant even get down yogurt in the morning. Ive discovered I need to drink something hot. Ive been drinking Sugar free international coffee..pretty good..Ive thrown up or pb'd..chicken, pasta and bread. Im good with puree food..soft foods..most solids get stuck and sit there..tried pineapple juice and it made me throw up. Something tells me its not supposed to be like this...I dont understand how I cld be too tight already?

I think its normal..i get a little sore when I do alot of walking

Mine is on the right..its perfect..i can feel it..if I look for it..its no wheres near my waist so it doesnt get in the way of pants or jeans. The doc puts it there so it doesnt have to get moved if you go for a tummy tuck after the weight loss.

Chicken and me well we're breaking up..Sorry, Chicken but it's over!

The first night after a fill I cldnt sleep on my side I definitely cld feel it..i can feel my port too..

Sweet...how many cc's are in your band and what size is your band?

Floridays what are the other two rules?

Say you eat dinner..i had some chili...i waited an hour to drink..i took some sips of ff milk and it is just sitting there...does this mean my pouch is full? Or my food is stuck? So weird..feels like a tight band like first thing in morning..im.still trying to understand my band..:/

Thank you!

Less than 1 cup..about 3/4 cup..

Wow! You need a new support team! I have 10cc band and got 4cc fill at 5weeks ..a little aggressive ..im still adjusting..but it works! Get yourself a new doctor and hang in there!!

Skyvic..sounds like a gallbladder attack..been there..did you eat anything greasy, cheesy the night before ?

I gained when I went to Mushies too...This 6 week.stretch is for healing! hang in there!

I threw up 5weeks post op..with no fill..my doc said it would take a lot to make it slip..did you heave hard or was it just from your throat?

It was the ONLY option for me as there was no way I was cutting off and rerouting my organs (bypass) and dealing with "dumping syndrome" or getting my stomach permanently stapled! ( the sleeve). Some opt for Plication..when they fold the stomach in half and staple it..along with putting in a Band..my doctor called this the mexican lapband..they dont do that at Yale. All surgeries have risks..make an informed decision with your doctor thats right for you!

WHOA!!!!!
