Weight gain after gallbladder surgery
paddi replied to lcubanita21's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My tummy tuck surgeon says I don't need unfilled as he won't be near the band but the nurses where I had my surgery say I do need an unfill. What do you think? -
Hi, glad to hear someone else drinks beer. No-one told me you can't drink beer so I have been drinking it since I was banded in July 2008. I've not had any problems. I lost 3 stones and only had one fill. Am almost at target weight. Any one else drink beer?

How long will soreness lat at port site?
paddi replied to Buckeye62's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
How do you know when you need a fill? Even though my food sticks a lot (BECAUSE OF STRESS) I am quite hungry and can eat a lot. -
Hi I was wondering if anybody is very aware of their port. I have actually hit mine against some things and if a child sits on my knee I feel I need to be careful. Sometimes I can feel it sore. Is this normal? Also I feel very hungry but my food sticks a lot, like every day if I am not really careful. The dietitian said it was because I was stressed and I think that is true, but its awful when I am so hungry. Should I be going for another fill. I have only had one since I was banded in July. I have lost three stones but nothing in the last two months.

Hey, for a couple of weeks there every day my food was getting stuck and I don't feel that I have that much restriction. The dietition told me it was because I was stressed and I think that is true. It was no particular food. Just any food. It is so frustrating as you can't eat for a long time after and the only thing that helps is to drink coke or make myself sick. I think I need another fill but don't know if I should because the food is getting stuck all the time. Also is there anyone else who is very aware of their port. Mine can be actually sore sometimes and I have knocked it against some things. I haven't heard of this happenong to anybody else.

When food gets stuck: Papaya Enzymes!
paddi replied to TerriDoodle's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I bought papaya enzymes in liquid form. It didn't work. I suffer from terrible panic attacks and twice the food got stuck. The only relief I got was to make myself sick . I thought I was going to die. It was awful. I don't know what I would do if I was by myself when this happened. Thank God my daughter was with me.
