My doctors office is not very helpful, so I am full of questions. I get a sharp pain after I eat few bites. I think it is like something is stuck. It lasts until I can belch a few times. After it's over I can eat all I want. I had the surgery 2 months ago. Is it normal?

WOW! That hard, I wish you well. I am very lucky that my fill station is not far at all. Almost 59 yrs old and this is my first time for been in a chat room or whatever this is. It's great, thanks for the help.

Thanks Doddie63. I will get in a better mood. I have gone for 3 fills in the last month and half, and don't have any restiction. I am not going to give up but I am down today. Sorry for be a wet blanket.

Hi all. I am 58 very soon to be 59. I had the lap band on 4/9/07. My bigest is ..I am ashamed to said.. was 358. I started a diet 2 yrs ago and lost 50 lbs. But could not stay on it, so I gained back 20 lbs. Then I heard of the lap band and asked my ins. company if they would pay for it. They made me diet for 6 months, I lost down to 303 on the day of my lan band. I have lost down to 284 but I am not restricted and can eat anything. So as of last Wednesday I am pigging out. I feel like crying!

How do I find the over 50 thread?

I had it 4/9/07 and have had 3 fills and still don't have any restriction. HELP

My is not really sore I just feel it sometimes. But it is not on my side.

You know, if we could do it on our on we would not need the operation. The doctor should understand.

I had the lan band 4/9/07. I have had 3 fills. They say I have a large band, they are filling it a little at a time. I am up to 5, it hold 8 (whatever). It is not making me feel full. It hurt sometimes but I can eat anything. I was work at losting until last week and did lost 30 pounds but I can't do it on my on. That is why I did the lap band. Should I feel full? Does it take alot of fills? What is normal?
