  4. Had my surgery on Feb 25th and I just recieved my first fill three days ago. The Doc shot me up with only 4 cc and I still never fill full. I can also eat anything rice, pizza, bread, you name it.... I am begining to think I wasted my time with this.
  5. That Sucks!!!! I am trying hard not to blow it but six weeks?????? Wow, I did not know that. Thanks
  6. I was banded on 02/25/08 and had problems with breathing during the operation. I woke up in ICU where I spent the night before being discharged the next day. All I can say about the procedure is that I felt very empty inside for a couple of days after. I had no pain I couldn’t handle and refused all pain medication. Today is 03/01/08 and I have dumped the liquid diet because it was making me extremely sick. A man can only take so much chicken broth before it gives him a serve case of lock jaw. I am scheduled to meet with my doctor for my first post op appointment on the 4th where I guess he will do my first adjustment? I believe my bands swelling has gone down considerably and the only discomfort I feel is the port when I cough or stand up to fast. I can tell you I am VERY hungry but have lost about 25 lbs since I started this journey. I hope when I get my adjustment it will help with the hunger because I would hate to think you stay hungry all the time. I had my procedure in St. Louis and live in Southern Illinois which makes it hard to attend the support groups but I have been told there are groups here that I can attend, which I believe will be a big help when it comes to adjusting to my new way of life. If you are reading this because you are interested in getting the procedure done all I can say is really think it over and don’t underestimate the procedure like I did. I thought this was just a walk in the park and boy was I wrong. I am to new to this so I really can’t say if I would do it again but I have asked myself that question on several occasions. Well good luck to all and good health………Live long and healthy……………..JB
