I was banded 3/25/13 by week four you won't feel your band at all. Right now slow your activity down your still healing on the inside. -
Can someone give me info on a first fill? How many cc's? What should I expect? Does it hurt?

How long after surgery will I be bed ridden?

there's a book called living with the LapBand.. It gives great detail from pre-diet, pre-op to post-OP. Pretty much explains what happens day of surgery. I was banded on monday and already out and about shopping today. The gas was the worst part. Get some prune juice. Good luck -

Drink prune juice. It helped. By tomorrow you should feel less pain and relief from gas. Stay positive! This is only one week of pain and a bright future ahead. We are here for you. You can try to juice veggies as well. -

I used that miralax around noon time, still no action. someone suggested a warm shower, tried that and still nothing. I walked around the block that helped with some gas. Keep me posted on your status, good luck -

I was banded on Monday and the gas is the worst part. I have constipation as well. Makes for a very uncomfortable situation. Nothing helps. I've tried laxative and prune juice. -

Remove yourself from temptation when food is around. Drink lots of water. Good luck and remember dedication=success! -

Take an iron pill to help your energy. -
Hi Christina, how are you doing? I get banded on Monday so excited. I'm very hungry today. Feel like i'm lacking iron.

How are you doing? -
No I don't use MFP, I don't even workout. I don't have the time between work full time and school full time. It's been a long journey to surgery date. Lots of ups and down getting rejected from the insurance was big
-
What's mfp?? I'm not nervous at all. I had an endoscopy done back in August so I know what to expect. I feel good down 16lbs. I have alot to do before surgery day to keep me occupied and thinking about it.

You might have to stay on the cpap for one year. I had 2 over night stays for the sleep study one month apart. Wasn't too bad. Good Luck with your surgery! 5 days until I get banded

You having a reaction to the protein powder, milk, or whey that's causing you to cramp. You can do this. My struggle was a love hate relationship with food right now. I'm moody and realized I wasn't getting enough protein. 5 days to go until I get my band. The first 3 days are the worst and your past that stage. Good Luck!
