Has anyone had their band slip from coughing? About a week after being banded I got a cold and had the worse non-stop cough for about a week. Just wondering if anyone has had that happen?

The single serving packs of tuna and salmon would be good!

Awesome! Congrats!

Banded Dec. 17, 2012. Down 16 lbs. since surgery and 33 all together. My most anticipated NSV will to be able to paint my toenails without propping my leg up on the tub and still getting out of breath from bending over my own fat! Lol

I was banded on Dec. 17. About 4 days out I had such horrible port side pain I called the dr. His explanation was that you start to feel better and do more. Because your port is sutured to a muscle, when you stand up gravity takes over and your fat and skin pull on that muscle causing pain. My pain lasted maybe 3-4 days, then faded. I hope yours does as well!

I am not at all a fan of Muscle Milk, but I love the Atkins protein shakes. I had my surgery Dec. 17 and am getting ready to start my second week of mushy food. I also found it hard to get all the calories in the first couple of weeks. I have found that this week I was able to get in between 800-1050 calories. I usually still drink one protein shake for breakfast, and I have a banana with 1 tbsp of peanut butter at night. It seems the more I eat, the quicker I lose the weight. Good luck!

I had my Lapband surf Monday Dec. 17. Things have been going great since! Pain was minimal until yesterday, now at what I feel is my port site it is very painful and feels like it has ripped on the inside. It also burns a little, again on the inside. Last night i had to lay on my back with my knees propped up with a heating pad on it. I haven't picked up anything too heavy, but have been moving around a lot. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think it is cause for concern? Thanks!!!!

Thank you for your reply. I drove yesterday and shopped for a couple hours. Maybe I'm just doing to much. I am going to go easy on it today and see if it calms down some. I have my follow up on Wed. The 26th. Hopefully by then it will have subsided. Thank you for the Holiday well wishes, I wish the same to you and your loved ones!

Congratulations!!!! My surgery date is December 17. I am excited and nervous. I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
