Hi..I was banded on June 2 and had my first fill on Friday. It didn't hurt at all. The only feeling I had was when my Dr. put three ccs in, she withdrew one because I felt a tighness in my chest. I do have more restriction than before but I know I will need a fill again.

I had three section in the last five years, and I thought the first 2 days after lapband were way worse than my sections. I actually had to tkae pain meds for the lapband.

I just had the day before surgery prep. None of this 6 month preop diet I keep reading about... -
I know what you mean with the smell of food. I have 3 small children and they are not dieting! So cooking for them had to become my husband's permanent job until it didn't phase me anymore. Now I am used to it and they are liking protein shakes! Have a good day!

Good luck to ya'll on the surgery...ya'll will do great. Some posts are kind of discouraging with the slow weight loss, but we will do fine. Keep us posted!

I am from Baton Rouge, live in Zachary now. I got banded by Dr. Hargroder - - - He is so awesome!:wink_smile: -
Hi Joelle...for the surgery, I had to have an upper GI, tons of blood work, EKG, and pulmonary test. It was all completed in one day. This hasn't been that horrible of a situation. The first 2 days were very painful, but after that they were fine. In fact, I had my surgery on Monday and was in class on Friday for summer school. So it has been tolerable. I just stay thirsty. Sipping water doesn't cut it for me.
Good luck!!

I was on liquids for the first week, but I was still thirsty. I am drinking a little more often, but now I am on yogurt, shakes, pudding, and tuna! I will let you know if I find a solution to my problem. And good luck to you!

Hi everyone. I am new to the site and to being banded. I was banded on June 2 in Baton ROuge, Louisiana. So far pretty good....I just stay thirsty. And I have noticed in the last 2 days that I am getting hungry and 2 ounces of yogurt/pudding isn't cutting it for me. Any suggestion???:confused2:
