Am I in Bandster Hell and how do I get out?
luckyfive101 replied to Lisa B's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lisa, I just got my first fill (2-1/2 months) and am finally back on track! Don't despair! My first post-op visit was merely a "consult" and then I finally got a band fill, and i am finally losing again... lost only 25 the first 2 months. Hang in there! It WILL GET BETTER! -
I had my surgery done in Mexico.. They repaired my hiatal hernia at no extra charge! I was able to come off medications I had been on for 20 years! Heartburn is gone! Feels great!

I actually found the lap band forum while researching a hiatal hernia repair! They repaired mine when I had the band... Was worth the money to get that repaired! -

You know you have good restriction when milk sours and comes back up BEFORE you can actually swallow it! -

hey! lost 25 pounds officially (30 by my scales)... Banded on June 20, 2008... My first fill September 5, 2008. Best money I EVER SPENT ON MYSELF! Keep up the good work!

hey Katja! i am a little discouraged. I got my first fill yesterday and i have NO RESTRICTION... Did that happen for you? Is that normal? The doc that did the fill told me i probably wouldn't feel restriction the first 2 or 3 fills, but that doesn't make sense to me!

Well, I pulled through! Went to Tiajuana Mexico June 20.. have lost 15 pounds so far! It was a really good experience as far as surgery goes.... Very clean hospital with very professional people! I was very impressed! AND so far, I LOVE MY BAND. I only ate when I was hungry before.. thing is now, I don't get hungry! lol! This is great!

Swimming Pool.... how soon after??
luckyfive101 replied to ImaGoofball's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey there! I am heading for Lap Band on the 20th of June. I was glad to hear somebody say you didn't have to wait 8 weeks before going swimming. I have my own pool, and I can't see waiting that long. I understand going to a public pool because of the dangers of infection. Hope you are doing well with your weight loss! I am feeling good about my decision. I feel like I am finally taking control again!
