first fill was done last Thursday and boy am I feeling the restriction so far...just had solid food and i hate the tightness...the burping is unreal too. I can say that I don't enjoy eating as much as I used to...but I know it's worth it...

got my first fill yesterday...took the Doc several tries to find my port...did not have a good time...LOL I was hungry alot today....wondering if its even working?

NOTHING to be nervous about...Just think of it as the first day to your new life! I am almost two weeks post op and I am soo happy I did this. Best decision I have ever made! Just take it one day at a time! Good Luck!

I have one week of liquids left then onto mushies...I lost 7 lbs so far..but i know it's because of not eating regular food. I get my first fill on July 23rd...So glad to meet so many great people here!

Can I play too? I'm newly banded 8 days. I live in Woburn. My family is kinda on board with me...but I need to be able to talk to people who have actually done this and know where I'm coming from...

Well, I'm a newbie 8 days post op. but i'm in the 100 plus club. 297 married 17 years with two daughters! I am more than willing to lend an ear and hopefully get the same support...this won't be an easy journey

I get my first fill on July 23rd and I'm very excited about it!!

My surgery was June 5th one week ago today. I had to be at Winchester Hospital for 9am for an 11am surgery. After I checked in a really nice nurse came out for me and got me changed into the gown and socks and packed my stuff in the lockers for safe keeping since I had a bag with me because I was staying the night. After she took my vitals she took me to a private sitting room with a tv and brought my husband in. at about 10 a male nurse came in to get me. He brought me to my gurney and covered me up with a blanket. He got my IV in in about 5 seconds! Another nurse came over and put the patch behind my ear for nausea. Dr. Sandor came in at that point and went over the procedure again with me, then the Anesthesiologist came in and went over what was to happen. I had my hair up in a scrunchie and i removed it for comfort and i told the nurse not to loose it (she lost it) I was given a shot in the IV and I remember being wheeled to the operating room and I remember the lights, then I remember waking up in recovery and being very sore and not being able to speak well. My Doctor came right in and told me things went great and that I could have some ice chips now if i wanted. He said as soon as I woke up a bit more they would bring me to my room. I had a morphine pump on the IV which i loved! lol The next morning I had the swallow test and I was home by 8pm that night, would have been earlier, but he got stuck at another hospital doing another surgery. I am healing very well, and I have my follow up visit tomorrow and I'm looking forward to a healthy weight loss!

i was banded a week ago and with me it's burping...real deep burps that feel like they're coming from my feet!
