Hello all I have recently decided ti follow low carb/high pr diet, but the problem is that I get a little irritated where my band is, it is not exactly heart burn but something similar until the Protein passes through completely, and I feel it competently! I don't have this feeling with carbs or vegs! I think it might be due to high acid accumulation there. has anyone ever had this problem, any suggestion?

Do not hesitate at all, It is very normal to have this mood changes BUT keep in mind that we all had these doubts. But now so satisfied with the decision we made we would have it again if we had to decide .

Hi I am almost 6 months post-op and I have started to feel this weird sense around my point area, I cannot call it pain, its just that I can feel my port, like its a little heavy, and it causes an unfamiliar irritation. Is this a problem? do you think it can be an infection or something serious? -
Congrats,... Good Luck and smile.

My mom, my brother who actually encouraged me to do it. I am single and so, no body else knows. As for the scars I said I had a complication with the bile system, so i had an operation. The funny thing that people see me tommy and they think I had a Lipo!!!! I am not gonna share it with anyone, maybe my husband if i got married, but even that Im not sure! -

I was in pain the first four, five days. But I was totally well at the end of second week, don't worry the second day is the most terrible day because the sedatives are cleared from your system now. I promise you will be very fine soon.

Wow Thanks alot, I appreciate your reply, It really helped alot. BTW your assumptions were all correct he did get the fluoroscopy to make sure, and he told me by his procedure I had to have less visits than other dr.s, Sp i think he wanted to restrict me as soon as possible. Im so happy to see successful people like you. Your picture says it all.

Tnx alot My pain is gone. I will see wa hat he says.

Hi everyone I just had my first fill yesterday, 4.8 CC. Dr told me to only have clear liquids for 2 days and mushy food for 2 weeks. which I am totally fine with. I just wanna know is it normal that I feel a little pain at my band area? Its hard to even have liquids. I only had a cup of coffee and one glass of juice yesterday but each took me around 1 hr, is it normal??

Restriction definition
Melllima replied to Melllima's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks alot, you all really help He told me that he hadn't filled it. I believe it might be for speed and the size of the bite I swallow.but can you tell me how restriction feels? does it mean that after a certain amount it hurts a bit or ur hunger just gets satisfied with the food? -
Hi everyone, I have this question,I have been banded 3 and a half months ago and usually food gets stuck up on my band, and I still haven't got my first fill. do think its a good idea to have a fill for me? I dont get the meaning of this restriction which everyone talks about. I start eating and food gets stuck after awhile, it starts to hurt so I stop eating. Is it how it should be? is this what restriction means?
