Hello, I was banded in TJ June 2006. Wow a year has gone by. I have been having some tenderness on my right side up under my rib cage. Sometimes I feel as if the food makes through the band then stops at this spot and it pretty tender if I push on it. Anyone have any of these problems. Thanks

Hi, I was using a fill doctor in Eugene Oregon, but have had a hard time getting in to her. Does anyone know of any more near this area?

Anyone know of a fill doc in the willamette valley area

Has anyone used Dr Fitzpatrick? I had lap band surgery last june '06 and have not had a fill. I have gained 15lbs and think I must need a fill. I have read about the doc in Klamath falls but that is a long way to go for me. Anybody used anyone else?? Thanks

Wow, I thought I was the only one. I was banded in June of 2006 and I can it seems that I can easily eat junk but for the good stuff I have a hard time no matter how much I chew. Doesn't make sense. I have not had a fill at all so I know it can't be too tight. It makes me wonder if I should. Bad news.... I have gained about 15lbs of the 52lbs I had lost. I am so dang disappointed. This was good to see other comments.

That is the total amt. I was under the impression that would be the total amount to be eaten at a single sitting??

Gosh, the head hunger is the worst. I tell myself that I should be "full" with a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food and I can still continue to eat quite a bit and not be full. I was banded 6/21/06 and have not had a fill. I am not sure if it is time since sometimes I can't seem to eat a plum. Maybe I am not chewing enough.

What is "PB". I can't seem to find out what that is....

I was just banded 6/22/06 and I spoke to a doc in Eugen her name was Kelly Fitzpatrick. She seemed very nice. I have not had a fill so not sure how she does it but she is in Eugene.:nervous

Liquid Stage vesus Pure Liquid Stage
dianamae replied to 000000000's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Liquid is clear such as tea, water, jello, diluted fruit juice. Pureed is food that can be eaten through a straw. Such as tomato juice, vegetable soup poured through a fine strainer. I found that KFC mashed potatoes and gravy diluted with beef consome' broth was pretty good. I was banded 6/22/06 so just about a week out. I am sooooo hungry. Good luck:hungry: -

Hi Falice, I am up north of you in Lebanon, and I have not decided to have the surgery yet. I keep reading what everyone has to say and maybe I should opt out for the Rny? I just don't want to be a failure. -
I am considering lap band surgery, this is really rather frightening, if you were me, would you opt out for a personal trainer?
