My pouch grew but my entrance to my stomach was complete blocked.I had heart burn so bad at night nothing worked. I would literally vomit acid in my sleep. I took the max doses of all the meds on the market. I was starting to get a lot of swelling in my abdomen, and every time i ate something I would normally have to throw up like I was stuck. I didn't have my band removed. He took all the fluid out and immediately i felt better. I had to keep all the fluid out for a month so that all the swelling could go down. So after I got all the fluid out i gained 50 lbs due to being able to eat anything i wanted again. It was mainly bad decisions on my part. Lesson learned. I got my fluid back in a couple weeks ago and I feel better now having the feeling back. Don't do like me and be hard headed I waited almost 2 months before I went to the dr.

I had my lap-band in 2013. Well about 5 months ago I kept throwing up and getting re-flux. I went to the dr and had to get all my fluid removed due to the band was dilated. Well after years of not being able to eat crap food I ate crap I shouldn't have. Well I had my first will 2 weeks ago since my unfilled. I have no hunger drive, the thought of food just makes me turn my head. I keep forcing myself to eat and its hard. In two weeks im down 20lbs.

I had the same problems. After 5 years I was constantly throwing up and had horrible acid reflex. It was so bad no amount of meds would help. Finally I went to the dr and my lapband was completely dilated.

I had my surgery Nov 2013. I weighed 353 pounds. I had no idea how big I really was. I was in denial. I finally made the choice to be a better me. I have lost over a 100lbs. It's has taken me blood sweat and tears. I would do it over again. I still have 47 more pounds till my goal weight.

So as of today I have lost 90 lbs I had my surgery Nov 19. I have a problem even though I have lost alot I'm still very self conscious

So the last couple weeks have been bad. I feel off the wagon big time then hit run over by it lol. I don't know why but ice cream and candy and crap were my bff. I feel guilty but I woke up and decided NO more. So I ate a small bowl of oatmeal. The good news while I was being a self indulging cow I kept up with the gym and I didn't gain weight or lose

I had surgery on November 19

By day 4 it should get better walk alot it helps

The second day was the worst for me by day 4 I felt great I went back to work on the ambulance 6 days after mine. It gets better

I haven't had a dr pepper since day I decided to have surgery. I miss the carbonation of sodas, I wouldn't dare touch one cause im so scared of the repercussions like pain

Thanks so much all for the encouragement.its crazy we all get happy about our fills like it's Christmas morning lol.

I agree with the other ladies I had my done the 19 I feel great. I was walking right after I woke up from surgery. I was very lucky I didn't have shoulder pain so I couldn't help you there. I have more energy now then ever I have lost 40lbs since starting pre op diet. Never listen to the downers. You can do it!
