When I sneeze, go to the bathroom, or laugh hard, I get a crapping like feeling right under my rib cage for about a minute and then it goes away. I'm not really getting that much restriction either and I'm at 9cc in a 10cc band too. I get no pain when I eat though. I don't have any constant pain or anything. I'm going to see my doctor as soon as he comes back into town but I would like to know what's possibly going on with me before my appointment in two weeks. Have any of you had the same expirence and what was the outcome? Can anyone give me any tips on what to do until my appointment in 2 weeks?

I got my band on 7/30/2008 and have had one 3cc fill. I can still eat just like I did before surgery.:tongue2: I can still eat bread, actually a foot long subway sandwich just yesterday! I haven't had any problems eating anything I try too. Who has gone through the same things? Please tell me I am not alone.

This part has been really hard for me. I have always been a big drinker especially after meals but fortunately it was always water. I was never into soda or sugary drinks. When I go out and the waitress asks me if I want more to drink I tell her no. She always refills it anyway and says "just in case". I want to just throw the drink at her since if it's in front of me, I will drink it. I make it a point to drink the whole thing down before I even put food in my mouth but I am still craving a sip of water afterwards. I know this is a big no, no with the band. Who else is having problems with this? What are some tips to help me control this?

I am looking to connect with people like me or pretty close to it. I am female, 26 years old, starting weight around 250, surgery date was 7/30/08. I want to hear your stories and how you're coming along.

He is my doctor and I was wondering if he's anyone else's too and what you thought.
