how does one know how much they fill you with ? i had my first fill end of July and I have no clue, but what i do know my quality of life is so hard I can't seem to get anything down since then ? well soft foods but this is awful....it is so painful when you try and eat something and it doesn't go down it is pain i can't describe....

I had my first feel two weeks ago, believe me it has been an adjustment so to speak lol but your portions will go to about 3 ozs thats it , sometimes i wish i enjoyed it before my adjustment she actually didn't want to add anything because i lost 22lbs before my fill but i insisted because I was feeling anxious like yourself and didn't lose week 5, its a rollercoaster I just wish i didn't feel so frustrated about getting things down.....good luck

good for you:)

i have also not had any support, well my boyfriend is an alcoholic so being said when he;s sober he says hi slim....so yes says a kind word but doesn't lift a finger to help, I thought this week after I bought some liquid eggs perhaps he would make me one... nope just keeps asking when are we going out for lobsta .....sorry for your pain I hear you hun I am also in that right now.....

i I also had hiatal hernia repair so that's it...some I told but others just judge so it's none of their business.. thanks to a nosey sister she felt the need to tell my mom and my brother, although she told them i was doing gastric like her ??? no comparison in my mind so I set the record straight. but seriously i was pissed she had no right to tell anyone , let me do it it's my body my decision.....

Hi I am going back to work today after having surgery two weeks ago, I am working 2 part time days and 2 full time days , but I definetly need two week, per doctor I go see him today at 2, I am sore but not as much if i try to life something.. I to don't get paid but my health way more important

you look amazing congrats

at times i wonder if some of these people even had the band.....the ones that come in here talking all negative I'm like really ?? pretty sure you are not going through what we are , makes you wonder just sayin

I also was intubated for over 3 and 1/2 hours my surgeron repaired my hiatal hernia and did a lap band my throat omg was in so much pain for 8 days ..I pray this is all you feeling I am talking huge pain, I am not feeling any of that pain now, just some in my port which from what i read is totally normal...

my pcp was against it , but he retired so i have a knew one... she was iffy cuz being honest for my weight i had no underlying issues i'm very healthy....and my dr. did make sense when i had discussed this or gastric why would i want to okay something that "could" make you unhealthy if i fed you bread and water and you were in prison you would lose weight ...i was like really? okay he is thin so he just doesnt get it..... I was excited when he retired and i had a "woman" pcp who said I will authorize it

I definetly wasn't ready after a week , but everyones different
