Ladysplenda please put those worrys away. It is only natural to be worried but I think you will be glad to have been one of the lucky ones to have the oportunity to be banded. I know I am thrilled with my band despite what problems could happen. It has given me a new lease on life and no one can ever take that feeling away even having some band problems is better than having long term health problems because of the extra weight we are caring around. The band can be reversed if a problem does arise and for that thought I have more peace of mind. I want my band to be a permanent thing but we can't predict the future... so my advise is to get banded with the thought its forever.... but know that it may be temperary and give your band your best shot while its avaiable to you~ treat it good ~ don't take it for granted ~make good use of it and if you must let it go at some point then so be it... But I garantee you will never regret being banded and you will be a different person for having a great chance of regaining your health back!!! Problems happen but I think either way you will come out on top a healthier happier person for having been banded. I'd do it all over again in a heart beat... with no regrets!!!! Good luck to you and your daughter!!! -

Did your stomach feel tight right after being banded
Jammin & Losin replied to Firecallie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I feel tighter in the mornings and I'm 8 months out from surgery. As the day goes on I loosen up and feel less restricted! If you just got banded it could be alot of gas that is built up and it will settle down in a few days. Wallking will help with the gas and I would try drinking something warm in the mornings (warm tea or broth)... that seems to help with that tight feeling too!!! -
Where are the happy bandsters?
Jammin & Losin replied to tomorrowsdream's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I know it has been a really rough couple weeks around here with all the problems that have been happening...Even the ones with problems are saying the band has changed their lives for the better. I for one am very happy with my band and if I had it to do over I would do it all again without a doubt!!! Even if I had to lose my band at some point I think I would still be happy with my desicion to be banded. I think I would even be a stronger person for having had my band in the first place. I think there are lots more happy bandsters than unhappy ones and I am one of the happy ones for sure. -

Are those guys for hire??? They can cook dinner for me anytime!!! LOL!!!

~C~Anytime you drink or eat liquids(soup) with other more solid foods... it washes your food through your pouch quickier.. in turn you feel more hungry sooner and eat more throughout the day. It is very hard but never drink and eat at the same time. To know if you need a fill eat only solids for a while and write down what you are consuming. Then you can figure how much you are eating at one time/how long is it after you eat do you feel hungry again? Then you can determine if you need a fill! Always eat protein first then vegetables then staches or carbs if you are still hungry! Hope this helps and makes since. Is this your first fill or have you had other fills already? By the way Great job on your weight lose thus far. you seem to be cutting back on your eating somewhere for to have lost 60 pounds!!!

How many days after surgery until you felt better?
Jammin & Losin replied to Firecallie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I went back to work in 1 week after surgery. I was feeling better with no pain... but that first day back at work drained me so fast. I had no energy until a few days into that second week! Each day will get better for you hang in there!! -
