Band replacement: Old band to AP Band?
BigMomma1981 replied to Poodles's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I agree, what about the sleeve? The sleeve is not a malabsorbtion procedure. I would check that first. -
Some people can feel them some can. Do you have an incision that is larger than the rest? When you get your first fill you will not forget where its at after that. I can feel mine now that I have lost more weight too.

Make sure that you dont miss a month. Also, my 6 month piece included that Dr. writing every exercize I did and that he recommended. Make sure that each visit is only for weight or they may deny it but Im not positive. I did my Dr. supervised visits with WeightWatchers also. I was approved in less then a week. Good Luck!!!

Scared to death
BigMomma1981 replied to brighterdays's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I (knock on wood) havn't had any problems. I had surgery on Wednesday and was back to work on Monday. I have had 3 fills also with little to no problems. The first time I wasn't tightening my stomach muscle enough so it took a few minutes to find the port but all is well. Good luck in your journey. -
Monday March 30th is the date!!!!

Congratulations!!!!:thumbup:I have been banded for 4 1/2 months now and I would not change this for anything. The band is the best tool that I could have given to myself. I feel that my Dr is an Angel for helping people with weight problems and now he is part of my family. You will have many follow-up appointments and since you feel comfertable with your Dr don't hesitate to ask all the questions you have. Good luck Monday and let us know how things are doing:thumbup: -
Where did my fill saline go????
BigMomma1981 replied to Connorsmom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was told after awhile some can evaperate. I was also told that if we loose about 20 pounds some of that is probably around our stomach and that is why you need more fills. Hope this helps and all Drs are differant but this is what mine said. Good luck -
I had my surgery on Wednesday, went back to work Monday. I only worked a half day Monday but Tuesday was back to complete 8 hour shift. Im an accounts payable clerk and sit most of the day so it wasnt bad except my belly rubbing the desk. Otherwise it wasn't bad. Good luck in your journey!
