Hi I was banded July 28-08 even after the surger i had to take a lot of meds. The small pills i had no promble with at all . The large pills i bought a pill spliter at the drug store . I cut them in half and take them. I try to take my meds when i am not eating and just drinking. If i have meds that say take with food then i eat and wait 30 min and then take them with liquids. I have never go sick enough to trow up yet Thank God. I could not take my meds the day of surgery but the next day i started them again. Good Luck hope this helps Dottie

Hi Nancy i am sorry to hear you are having so much trouble. and sorry to hear about your dad. That had to be a terriable thing to go though. Keep me posted maybe the leak has keep you from losing all this time. I was banded July 21 08 i went back for my check up but he did not do a fill . I go back oct 15 guess we will see if he does a fill then. Good luck Dottie

I forgot to mention i understand there is 2 sizes in the band ask your Dr. if this is true if so maybe you need the other type band. Good luch to you . lynnlynn:thumbup:

I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the lab band . I had mine July 21 and i have lost 35lbs so far. so for me it seems to be working right now anyway. I choise the lapband for the same reasons as you. But for me I am far more scared of the by pass surgery . It is a much more surious surgery. But i wish you all the luck . LynnLynn:thumbup:
