Hello everyone, it has been a very long time. I was banded aug. of 2008 and am still very happy that I did it but have been through a lot. Right now I am dealing with reflux and pain an hour after I eat. I'm going to see Dr.Minkin soon. I was 258 And now I'm 192, i've had my gallbladder removed oct. of 2010 amd then a hysterectomy jan. of 20011 and just regular band issues. How is everyone else doing?

So I was just wondering how many others have had to or are in the process of having thier gallbladder out or going bad. I have to have mine out tomorrow (10-20-2010). Anyone else?

Welcome Roy, I was banded by Dr. Minkin Aug. 7th. I too like him a lot. The gas pain was the hardest for me, get up and get moving. It helps with the gas SO much!!!! Good Luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

first fill 2morrow
SeeShell replied to MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just got my first fill today and while he was doing it I was having some kind of x-ray and I too could see it going down. This helped him determine how much to put in it. Doesn't every Doctor do it this way? He put 2cc in me and that was too much, the liquid did not move very well so he took a bit out. I have 1.8cc in now and I am on liquids for the day. I already felt restriction so I am really wondering what this it going to be like. Good luck! -

Who's Getting Banded in August???
SeeShell replied to Tracyde730's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been feeling the same way. I have be jumping from 242 to 239 the last week. I keep telling myself it's not the 258 that I was and that I got the lap band not gastric bypass. I think we just have to get through this part of it and then we will all start losing again. From what I have read on here everyone goes through this. I'm so gald we are not alone with this. Good Luck everyone! -
Hey Ann, how was your vacation? I am doing great. I am down 18 pounds. I am a lot happier now that all that gas is out of me and my stomach doesn't hurt as bad. I feel so good that I have to watch I don't do to much and pull something. I am really ready to just eat normal food. I am so sick of soup...lol
Thrusday I move on to soft foods. I am very happy I did this.
See ya later!
