sometimes when I eat I get pain in my chest and have to make myself vomit to feel better. Does anyone else do this sometime? It happens like twice a week or so.

didn't know after you vomit you had to be on liquids for 24 hours. Did anyone else know this? Thanks for your reply's and help, really appreciate it.:thumbup:

Thanks for the suggestions I am sure I am eating too fast, I have to really take my time eating. It's a learning process I guess.:rolleyes2:

For some reason I am cold all the time, before surgery I was always hot and sweaty. Anyone else have this going on?

The liquid diet was not bad at all.I was allowed 3 protein shakes a day and sugar free pudding and yogurt. Also sugar free jello and popsicles. I got full really fast because of the swelling in my stomach, but that has gone down. I was really nervous too before surgery but it wasn't that bad at all. Make sure you ask for pain meds, I had to ask for mine when it was time they didn't just bring it to me. Talk to you soon!

Hi Melisa, my surgery went well sore for a few days but got better each day. I am on pureed foods now for 2 more weeks. I have lost 12 lbs. so far. I also have to have 3 cups of protein shakes a day in between my meals. I get full after I eat so that's good cause I don't see the Dr. till Sept. 19 again. I never thought in a million years I would get full on a half a cup of food.LOL Good Luck to you!

HI I got banded on Aug 5 and have lost 12 so far. I am on pureed foods for 2 more weeks then soft foods. I ate a couple of chips today really tiny pieces and I did ok. I know I am not suppose to have them but OH MY GOD they tasted sooooooooooooo good. LOL Well good luck to you and we are on our way down. HOORAY!

They gave me vicodin, I took it for 3 days then I didn't need it. My pain was bad the first day but got better as the days went on. I couldn't take morphine, I am allergic to it.

Hi,I was also banded on Aug. 5 and yes the first few days were tough but I am feeling better and the pain has subsided quite a bit, have not had to use pain meds since thurs. Gas pains are not too bad either I get up and walk quite a bit during the day and that helps alot. Good luck to you and everyone who was banded recently.

I have not thrown up had my surgery on tues. Little sore where they cut me and tired but I have not been sick to my stomach. So far so good. Good Luck to you!

My prayers are with you, my surgery is today also please keep me in your prayers too! Thanks and Best of luck to you.

Good luck to you my surgery date is tomorrow also at 8:15 am. I am getting nervous but excited also.

Good luck to everyone, I am 2 days till surgery. I am getting a little nervous but am so excited to finally start my weight loss journey. I have told my family and a few friends everyone is being very supportive so I am glad of that. Talk to everyone real soon.

Good luck to you my surgery is Aug.5 also. We are on our way to sexy babes! LOL

Hi everyone! I am having the Lap Band procedure done on August 5th by Dr. O'Malley at Highland Hospital in Rochester NY. I was wondering if anyone has had the surgery done with Dr. O'Malley and how you are doing. I have been researching and reading on this site for about 6 months now and have learned a great deal of information regarding this procedure. Thank you to everyone for their input and stories of their surgeries, it has been very helpful in making my decision. Thanks again and good luck to all!

Congratulations on the baby,that is wonderful. Any suggestions about after surgery would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and good luck!

Mine is August 5 but I still haven't heard from the hospital on my prescreening tests yet. Hope they will call today to set up an appt, so I could that out of the way. Good Luck to everyone I know we will all be very successful in our weight loss journey!:ohmy:

August 5th for me! Good luck to all of you.

Hi I have blue cross blue shield of western ny and I had started this process last dec. and am having surgery Aug. 5. I had to have nutritional appts.,psychological appt, consultation with Dr. and finally have a surgery date! They had said at my first seminar it usually takes 6 to 9 months. Good luck to you!
