Ever since I got tightened last month I am having PB episodes. I am trying to learn how to control this but I have noticed I now have terrible bags under my eyes and was wondering if it is from a vitamin deficiency? or from throwing up 1 - 2 times a day. Anyone else having this issue? I don't think I am to tight because by afternoon I can eat well and don't have the issue.

I was banded on Feb 5th and I live 15 minutes away from Busch Gardens in tampa and go evey couple weeks and ride all the big coasters. I was concerend if the bar across my chest would hit the port, but I have had no issues what so ever.. So Enjoy!

Hi.. Can you please email me your spread sheet.. It is wonderful. Soleilsmmy@aol.com Thank you, Lori

Hi there..This is wonderful and so is your story. can you email your sheet pleaase and congrats. Soleilsmmy@aol.com Thank you, Lori

Oh.. that makes sense.. It started 2 days ago when I ate some real food. I hope is goes away soon.. Was really worrying me because I thought maybe my band slipped or something bad happened. Thank you!

Hi. The last 2 mornings when I wake up I feel a tight pressure on my lower abdomin. This is a new thing and was wondering if it was because I started eating somewhat normal food. Feels like I have a bowling ball on me..:tongue2:

I was banded on 2-5-08 and am supposed to be on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks, 1 week full liquid, and 1 week mushies. I was bad and did 1 week clear liquids and then 3 days full liquids and the past few days on mushies. I feel fine but now am worried because so many people talk about the stomach needs time to heal that's why the liquid diets. I was under the impression the stomach wasn't cut right? so why so much time to heal? Or is it the fact of slippage? Please help me understand?? Thanks,

wow.. ok that makes sense.. Thank you for copying that quote. I will stay on my liquids for another week and hopefully I didn't do any damage. I have a post op appointment tomorrow so we will see. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

LOL.. yes refrain... you are so close.. but if you must have one more hoorah then do like a piece of chicken or an egg. All protein, not bread... Good luck on Monday with your surgery, mine is Tuesday. Yeah...

Ok.. I know I am a bad girl. I took my daughter and her 2 little girlfriends to McDonalds tonight. I ate like 8 fries and 1/2 a chicken nugget. Now I am worried my doctor will be able to tell that I cheated. I have my blood work in the morning, is there anything I can do? Surgery is scheduled for 2/5.

Hi all.. Thank you for making me feel better about my cheating.. It's so hard knowing you HAVE to be good after surgery that I thought one cheat on the pre-op diet wouldn't hurt. But I am seeing more and more that most people have cheated once or twice.. I will be good from now on till surgey this Tuesday.. Thank you all again.

I know I am probably over reacting, but my doc said he could tell if I cheated in my pre-op blood work and if I didn't follow the diet he would cancel the surgery. I am sure what I ate didn't do much, and I have lost 7 lbs in 6 days, but I still worry. Only 5 days to my new life. Thank you for responding, I do feel a little better.
