Awesome story (:

Great story. Gives me motivation(: I just started 2 months ago so Iam new to this. Thank you

you inspire me to never give up(: Good job

I keep it all to my self. Well my husband is the only one that knows. I don't like peoples opinion over my decisions. I don't like negative comments and when u do something big like wls everyone has an opinion(;

Hi yes I think we all regret the surgery at one point and then we feel good and we are fine. I regret it during the clear liquid diet. Good luck on your journey.

It's normal u haven't been eating solid food. But u might want to try warm tea,Fiber gummies or milk of magnesium. I had my first bowl movement about 5-7 days out. My doctor had me start the fiber gummies after the 3rd day. Hope this helps u Good luck.

My first fill experience was good no pain just a little pinch. My doctor did not use anesthesia. I was standing up in front of an X-ray machine while he filled my band while I was drinking some white nasty liquid. Anyways I could see everything thru a monitor my band my port and the liquid going in. It was actually really cool. He put in 1.8cc's. When he was done I felt dizzy and fainted for 5 min super embarrassing.!! The dr. said that it happens sometimes. After that I felt great. So I guess clear liquids for the next 48hrs. I already feel restriction when I drink yay! . Please let me know if anyone else feels dizzy, nauseated, or has fainted when u get a fill??

Hi I will be going in for my first fill tomorrow. It had been 4 wks since my surgery, down 30lbs and ready for one. I need tips in what to expect on my first fill. I feel anxious and nervous. I need tips please.

I Live in california((:

Hi I had surgery with Dr Almanza in Tijuana on July 25,2015. I had a great experience with him. My recovery Was fast with little pain. Since I got the lap band and only live 1hr away from Mexico I will be going back for my first fill tomorrow with him. I'm nervous but exited. yay! I'm glad u had a great experience as well. (:

Prayers for u and ur wife.

Hi banded July 25,2015 starting weight 260today 230. Total weight loss of 30lbs in the first 4 weeks. Mostly water weight I say. Anyways 70lbs more to go.

Hi and congrats, I had the lap band done July 25,2015 and the first 2 weeks were the hardest with the gas, constipation and being able to find a comftable sleeping position. The trick is to walk as much as u can and release all that gas. I had the gas pain on my shoulder 4 days after surgery it maid me cry. But just keep walking thru the pain if u get it. Gas x strips help as well. This Saturday will be 4 weeks and I have lost 30lbs. Take it one day at a time. Wish u a fast recovery good luck (:
