Please help this is the first time food getting stuck. It hurts sooo bad, how long is it going to last till this passes. Omg, it hurts. Someone please help!!!!!!!!

What is the shortest wait anyone has waited to get another fill? Like 1 week, 2,3,4????????

I got my first fill this week, and i have to agree with you on the needle part. I have a 10 cc band too but they put me to 3.7ml, but I still dont haven any restriction. Do you have restriction at the 6cc and are you still hungry?

Omg, I was totaly feeling the exact same way. I was banded on 12/11/08, eating normal, no restriction whats so ever, starving all the time too. I havent really lost any weight either. Sometime I wonder if the lapband is even in there, lol. Anyways I have my first fill on 1/14 and cant wait cause I am ready to have that restriction and not be hungry all the time, but some people say that it could take several fills before you feel the restriction and start dropping the weight, which scares me, cause I need it now.

I got banded on 12/11, and feel the same exact way, the only difference is that when I do eat alot, (which is alot lesser than before), I feel miserable for quite a few hours later. I have not had any vomiting or stuck issues what so ever. I sometimes feel like the band isnt even there. But I am not due for my first fill till the middle of Jan. Alot of people say that you really dont get much restriction till you start getting fills, and then some people say that cant hardly drink or eat anything when they get the band with out fills. So I am feeling the same way as you, wondering if the darn thing really is in there, cause I have no restriction at all yet. I have lost 12 pounds though, but that is it. But I am still hungry all the time right now too.

We got our boys the Wii for xmas, and I was kinda of thinking about getting the Wii Fit for exercising. Does anyone use it and is it good exercise??

Okay, during my surgury (done on 12/11/08), they ended up finding two large hernias, and repaired them. But my stomach has been hurting a little bit here the past few days, and my top portion of my stomach looks more poked out than before. Has anyone had hernias, and had any problems?? Could my hernias have come back maybe?????

Okay question, some people say you cant stretch your pouch on the lap band but on gastric you can, so which is it. If you eat alot of food, but obviously not enough to vommit, which from what I understand, vommiting is what is more likely to cause a band to slip, right??? I ate alot, well not no where like I used to, during xmas eve and xmas day, but man I was so full I was hurting afterwards, like miserable. But never once did I vommit. So could I have stretched my pouch or be worried about slippage???? I really dont have much restriction at all yet, but I cant have my first fill till about 2 weeks from now.

Okay I had my surgury on 12/11/08, and have only lost 12 pounds. I am frusterated because I guess I was thinking I would have lost more than that, but I know it has also will barely be two weeks on xmas day. So my question is, is 12 good or bad? And when can I start or should start to exercise, because I want to get this weight off. :thumbup: I currently started out at 240 on surgury day and now 228.

How did you stretch out your pouch??????

Wow, I am the same age, and had mine done on 12/11. But I havent done that good over the past two days. But I am putting my mind to it, I will get through this stage, and do it right!!!!!!!! Dont give in like me, its not worth it, trust me. Good luck!!!! :huh2:

Thank you all for your responses!!!!!!! I am going to call my Dr. first thing in the A.M. and let him know what I have done. I talked with my mother in law, which had the band a few years ago, and she is also a RN, she stated the likely hood of me slipping my band is very unlikely due to me not vommiting or being in any pain at all, which made me feel a tiny bit better, but I am still upset. I have put it in my head, to do only liquids for two more additional weeks, starting today, since I scewed up. And I am gonna do this, I am. I want this so bad, and I will do this!!!!!! Thank you all, because I can get and need all the help I can.

Okay, I am going to be completely honest with you guys. I need help, bad. I got banded on last Thursday 12/11/08, today will be my one week. I followed the diet given by my Dr., in the beginning :huh2:, and two days ago, I was starving and had an emoitional break down and havent stopped since. On Tuesday, I started out with eating soup, campbells brocoli cheese soup, probably half a cup, then Yesterday, it was like I went all out and had shrimp, and even a few bites of my kids chicken nuggets. Had shrimp again today, and alot. I didnt vomitt or have any problems, I do feel a tiny bit full, but not really when I eat. I feel so ashamed, I know I messed up big time, and I went off of my dr. diet to follow, I was supposed to do clear liquids first week, then second week, thicker liquids, then 3rd soft foods, then solids. So I went way off track, and I dont want to be like this any more, I need help, support, something. I feel hungry all the time for some reason, and I am scared I might have slipped my band. Could have I????????????? Should I just go back to liquids again for about a week or so??????
