About to have lap band surgery—I have a couple ?? About drinking?
loulou12 replied to 90invjcc's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, I don’t drink beer but have found that my ordinary drink of prosecco is a no no. I tend to have a spirit with a diet mixer and normally leave it a few minutes to go flat to consume. Everyone is different though. Hope this helped -
Hi guys just looking for some advice. Does anyone follow a specific diet since having band fitted? Or do you just eat healthier but normal foods? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Just wondering is anyone has experienced hair loss since having the lap band fitted. I'm now 4 months post op and have noticed my hair thinning. Wondered if anyone had experienced this?

I'm currently at 4.3cc and have no restriction. I can eat and eat and eat. Hoping someone else has had this and it's not just me. Having an adjustment Friday and hope that it makes some improvement. Currently feeling discouraged and disheartened

Hi @nannynoonoo Just came across your post. Sorry for the late reply. I remember the first few weeks post op I felt the same. All I can say is it does get better. I have a band so I'm sure my recovery would be different. Happy to be a buddy with you.

So I'm 5 days after my first fill. Not feeling much if any restriction. Is this normal? I'm finding I'm snacking more and could easily eat bread without a struggle. Advice needed if anyone has any please! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

So I'm now 6 weeks post op and am feeling fab! Just had first band fill, things are dropping off well! 48 pounds down! I intend to start working out this week as am concerned out the loose skin side of things. Considering trying a waist trainer to help tighten skin. Concerned that this will effect the band or cause problems. Any advice welcome. New to this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
