Hi all had lapband 27/1. i have a 13cc band and had a 8cc fill on 22/2, it dosnt hurt, the worse part is the amount of food you could eat has halfed. Im back to docs in 6wks.

Hi all I have 8cc in a 13cc band, i can only eat food to the amount of half my palm of my hand, water is ok. that was my first fill, im back in 6 wks

hi all I have inplant in my arm have not had periods for 2 yrs, then i was banded on the 27th jan started periods pains hungry bloating the next day had full period for 5 days now back to spotting. Doc said its hormone changes in body coz of food changes. i hope they dont stay.

Hi everyone, I was banded on jan 27th, i to found pre op diet hard, I was on three meals of opti fast a day for 14 days, when i felt starved or deprived i found other things to do, moving around things (Dancing with kids) if i still felt starved after 2 hrs i would have some salad. Dont forget lots of Water and weighing myself kept me going. i also planned on day 10 to have a nice small fat free dinner (chicken and salad and glass of wine) just for something to look forward to. i lost 10kg on pre op diet hang in there, you can do it.

Hi all Thanks for all the advice and best wishers. All is done now yay. Op went well, had a little gas and a little sore but ok, stuff you have to swallow for xray next day is so yuck. Had really bad nausea for the first 3 mornings which killed me, worked out if i slept upright in recliner i wasnt sick in the morning. Have been living on 2 iceblocks and liquid malata a day and bit of Water, no real pain just a bit of gas in the cheast and unable to eat anything (think its mental haha) Saturday night was the first time i had eaten since op on Tuesday, Hubby made me roasted garlic and spud Soup soooooooo nice althought only had 1/4 ladle also up to 800mls water, went for a short walk and slept in my bed with no morning sickness yay so excited now life is starting to get back to normal.

Hi all Things are good now. had my first meal last nite, roasted garlic and spud Soup so much better then ice blocks. So far this is easier then opti. how is everyone?

Hi all i was banded on the tues had a few ups and downs, but doing good now. last night was my first time i had eaten instead of ice blocks, hubby made me roasted garlic and spud soup sooooooo yum although it was only 1/4 of a ladle haha. How is everyone going? tas
