Hello Lap Band friends, My name is Janet and I had my lap-band done on Nov.14th. I've lost 25lbs. My surgeon is Dr. Goldstein in Marlton, NJ. He makes you have a barium swallow as you are getting a fill. Last time it took 4 weeks (from an office visit)to get a fill. It wasn't a good time for me. I was starting to get back into my old habits. I was able to eat everything! Nothing made me ill or vomit. I think I might have expanded my pouch! After the fill I was OK for about two weeks but I'm back to my old habits. I see my surgeon again on March 7th and will schedule another fill. I've started back to my support meetings but could use some help at home also. I need a lap-band buddy. Anyone interested? Or has anyone else had the same problem of being able to eat anything? I hope someone can help me. Thank you and God Bless... Janet

:cool2:Hi everyone...just joined lap band talk. It's been very helpful. I had band on Nov.14th and have lost 38lbs. but 14lbs. were before surgery. Like alot of you, I,too can eat anything. I get hungry quickly,too. I see my dr. on March 7th but I won't get a fill for 2-3 weeks for he makes you have a barium swallow as he fills! I also have a 15cc band. I've only had a 2cc fill. Can't wait to see him. Dr. Goldstein in Voohrees, NJ:rolleyes2:

Thanks Kat & Susan. your replies are a great help to me. I will keep in touch. Thanks again...Janet:smile2:
