My fills are a littel diffrent than Mandypoo's. My dr. makes me drink this liquide stuff while taking an x-ray. than I lay on the table he sticks me once and than takes another x-ray to comapre the speed the liquied goes down before and after the fill. It is very fast and there is no pain.

Is "stuck" immediate? or creeps up on you?
Zach's Mom replied to LundyLane's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
When I get stuck I know it right away. Sometimes it lasts a few minutes and sometimes it last as long as an hour. Drinking some water makes it even worse. -
I was on Glucophage for about a year while trying to get pregnant. It was hard at first for about 6 weeks(diarrhea) but after that I liked being on it. It lowered my blood pressure and made my eyesight better. I did not however lose any weight while on it.

I had matza last night and it was fine. The matza balls in the soup I only tasted one bite because I was afraid of it getting stuck. I am just sticking to chicken and veggies for the most part.

I had my 4th fill this week and I am finally feeling restriction. My dr. is very conservative and goes very slow with the fills. I hope with this restriction I can finally start losing some real weight. Wish me luck!

I also had a hernia repaired during my lap band surgery. Since that day I have yet to have any heartburn or acid reflux!. Good luck to you on your journey. -

My dr. makes us wait three months for the first fill and I had mine today. I was so scared but it was easy breezy no big deal at all. I have lost 15 lbs since my surgery and am so excited now that I can start having a fill every month until I am where I need to be!:clap2:

Hi Crystal- I got banded on 9-17-07 but my dr. won't fill for 3 months so yesterday I joined Weight watchers and I will be going to the weekly meetings. I am ready to eat healthier and am ready to loose weight now. As of now I have no restriction so I am hoping WW will help me out for now.

Surgery Thursday--Questions
Zach's Mom replied to mandi78's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
for me they gave me something in the IV to make me fall asleep and it worked in like 2 seconds, before I was even wheeled out of pre op I was out! -

Bandsters with small children come in!!
Zach's Mom replied to MistyDTX's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi there- I was banded a week tomorrow and I have a 22 month old that is very attached to mommy so even when daddy takes care of him he wants mommy. My parents kept him the first two days and than my husband and I both cared for him. It has been a little hard because he wants me to hold him but I just tell him mommy has a boo boo on her tummy and can't hold him and he is ok with that most of the time. Good luck with your surgery! -
Hi Everyone- I just wanted to introduce myself. I had the lap band surgery three days ago. The surgery was quick and now on to the fun part. The thing I am having the most trouble with is the gas pain in my chest. Any one else have this very bad? thanks, Dorit

Lots of bloating and discomfort...feeling alone
Zach's Mom replied to meghntx's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Megan- I had my surgery the same day you did and I feel the same way you do. The gas in my chest is the worst part of all this. I do hope it gets better for us both real soon! Take care and good luck with your weight loss.
