Hi Vic, I'm still here. I actually go for a fill on Wed. Sorry to about your troubles with the lapband! Melanie

Yes it took her several times for me also. She had me standing up and after the second try i said I am feel like I'm going to faint so she had me lay down. Today was not a picnic either, we decided to add 1cc and it took her the same amount of time that it did the first...but then when she had me to drink Water 1cc was to much the water was not going down...so she had to start all over again and take a half cc out...not pleasant experience at the time...but just tried to focus on the outcome! How is weight loss coming for you? It seems to be going slow for me!

Hello, I just found this thread...I live near Charlottesville and was banded on March 1, 2010 by Dr. Katherine Trahan...How is it going so far for you? I go tomorrow for 2 month follow up not sure if I will get a fill then or not. I had my first fill 4 weeks ago. Hope to hear from you soon!:scared2:

I had my First Dr. App. two weeks post op. down 15pds. I am so happy to finally have Mushy food...I didn't think it would be hard to do two weeks of liquids boy was I wrong...How is everyone else?

Day 1 post op...The pain is not as bad as I thought it would be..although I have been through three c-sections...so comparing this to them is a piece of cake...I did feel alot of pain/discomfort right below my ribs last night but soon found out it was because I was drinking to much water at one time. The Dr. did the barium drink scan thingy this morning and it showed there was alot of swelling in their. My Dr. also took me off of my high blood pressure medicine...Did anybody else have these issues?

So I go today for my Pre-Op and for the last dietician appt. Surgury is 7 days away a little nervous but excited...I noticed that some others had to do a pre-op diet a couple weeks before their surgury...I was just wondering is that a required thing or do just some Dr.'s require it?

Don't feel bad my date was originally suppose to be Feb. 23rd and they moved it to March 1...with only a two week notice!!! It will be here before you know it!:biggrin:

Just wanted to say Hello..this is all new to me...will be banded March 1st...trying to learn how to navigate around this site! Melanie:unsure:
