So last year I got my lap band, after 6 months I knew something wasn’t right due to no weight loss after the Initial first few weeks, no restriction, and In fact weight gain! I went back had fluid check tests, an ex ray and finally a consolation to get a replacement, nearly 1 year 1 month from the first surgery, I had my band replaced, they said on examination it was a manufacturers fault. To be fair the team were very helpful and I have no complaints, it can happen, and did happen unfortunately. So I’ve had my new band 3 months and I have just has my 2nd fill 4 days ago, and oh boy can I feel the difference, definite restriction, quarter of the portions and if I’m not careful lots of uncomfortable moments finding out what i now can’t eat! Rice is one of them........ but I’m 3lbs down and finding my new path exciting. So far 2nd time round is going well.

So I've had no problems at all, up to now, decided to try a John west cous cous pot and nearly vomited two spoons in. It's a shame as cous cous was one of my staple go to foods..... not any more! 🤢🤢🤢

That's great! I'm now on day 6, only some shoulder pain left! [emoji3]

Hi All, I'm 2 days in to my gastric band surgery, liquids now for 2 weeks, so far no problems, first day a little sore, gas and nausea, today still bloated, but can move a lot better, and managed 1/2 a glass of diet protein shake, 1/2 a cup of soup & an ice pop.

Hi, it's day 4 now, feel much better, still a little gas pain in my shoulder, and my port scar hurts, but I'm back to my old self, looking forward to the next few months [emoji3]
