I've had my band for almost two years and i started off great, i had lost 33lbs, in the first two months, but then started gaining it back. I was filled almost to compacity and i still could eat almost as much as i wanted, but had to get unfilled a couple of times because it just made everything uncomfortable going down. I can eat way much than I should, and it's hard controlling the head hunger. I've been wanting to have mine removed for the past year, but I hear it's not the simple. I wished i had gotten the bypass, and i did gain back enough weight recently to probably qualify. But I don't know if I really want to go to that extreme. I don't want to give up, but I'm frustrated with my weight and difficulty in losing the weight.

Hi Tracey, so far i've had no pain at all, and i haven't had any gas, but I think i may be getting a little about now. But so far nothing. Mary congrats to you and I'm glad to hear you are doing very well. Like you, I'm on my way to market anf pharmacy. I can't seem to find any of the lortab med but cvs said they have a little and can order it and give me enought to hold me over. Thank God I'm not in any pain, lol.

Hi Tracey and Roberta. Congratulations on you surgeries. I was banded yesterday, also. I was in my room by 11:00am. All went very well for me. I had not pain at all, i was up and walking around immediately and all throught the day and night. I did take pain med twice yesterday, just in case and i took a dose just before i left the hospital. I'm home now and i feel great so far. I wish you all the best and keep me informed on your progress.
