I had my band placed March 10th, 2008. Had my 3rd fill 3 days ago. I think I have finally found my 'magic spot'. Have 7cc total. Would like to talk to others in the area who have been banded as well..........Kim

:confused_smile:Ok - So I am a new bandster and not sure of some of the lingo as of yet. What exactly is PB?? I can't quite figure it out!!...................Kim

I am from Palm Coast.

I am new to this forum and am so glad to see that there are so many people out there that are going through the same things as I am post-band. I was banded 4 days ago on March 10th. Very glad that I made the decision, but still hurting more than I expected. The gas pains are the worst! And I'm starting to get tired of the same old liquids. Ready for something with substance. Am very motivated by everyones progress that I see on here and am looking forward to that time when I get there as well. I know its just one day at a time though. This forum is great to be able to share with others who understand. Anyone out there from northeast Florida?? Give me a shout!:thumbup: H235/P214/G130

I feel the exact same way as you. Was just banded on March 10th and gas is my biggest problem. I have not tried the gas-x strips but will definitely get some. I just keep walking, walking, walking around my house and that has eased it up some. Back pain is a big problem too, but I think that is just the gas. Very tired also, but I know that is from the anesthesia.

I sent you a friends request on myspace. I was banded March 10, and so far so good other than the gas pains. Good luck to you.....Kim
