I had lap band placed on July 3rd. Yesterday I thought I was doing wonderful. Last night and today is a different story. I don't know if I over did it with drinking liquids to fast or if it is additional gas pains. I feel this uncomfortable fullness in my chest & it feels like I'm going to explode. I walk around and try to make it better but only helps for a minute. I can't get hardly any liquids down without having this feeling. Is anyone else experiencing this or do I need to call dr. I am forcing myself to drink becuase I need Protein & liquids. I'm just a little concerned cause I feel like I'm going backwards instead of foward. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I was banded on July 3rd and have had diarrhea for 2 days with no warning. Glad to hear I'm not alone. I was wondering if I needed to call dr but reading everyone's comments, I'll wait. Thanks

Its 3 days before my lap band schedule date of July 3rd. I have all kind of emotions but all in all very ready for this to be here and over. I am on day 4 of liquids and this in itself has been a struggle. I do not at all like slim fast or protein shakes so I'm just forcing them down. I know it will be worth it. Let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!! Kim:w00t:

Wow, congratulations. I hope I do as well as you have done. Wonderful job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

July 3rd for me

I'm having surgery on July 3rd and having all kinds of feelings. I'm very excited, nervous & ready for it to just be here & over with. I started liquid diet and I'm struggling with it. Maybe this week will pass by soon. Having surgery at UMC by Dr. Vick. Wish me well. Kim

I'm using Dr. K Vick - he is doing my lap band next week. He is at UMC in Jackson, MS. Maybe its worth contacting to see if he does fills.

I start my liquid diet today. I'm verrrrry excited but a little nervous also. I'm a little concerned about the liquid diet for the week because I'm not a big slim fast fan & that is what my doctor wants me to do for liquid diet but I know that the excitment of this Thursday will get me through. Good luck to everyone that has a July date.:thumbs_up:

I am on the countdown until my surgery. Nine days left. I am very nervous but on the other hand very excited. Im worried about my week of liquid diet & just confused as to what I can have and the amount of calories I can intake. I want everything to go well during surgery so I want to do everything right. Very excited and hope all goes well.

Good Luck, your response makes me excited for myself. My surgery date is 07/03 and the same weight. Hope I do as well as you are doing.
