I had my first fill May 28. And my Doctor won't tell me how much he is putting in the band. I just know it hurt and with all the pain I was in I would hope I would feels more restriction. I feel like I could eat anything and everything. And I can't go back for 4 weeks. Will I start feeling something soon?

What about before you all got your first fill. At least what I can tell you all already had your first fill. I go next week for my first fill and I hope that helps because right now I fell like I never get full. Did you all feel like that before you got your fill?

Barbie are you losing weight right now? Do you just eat three small meals a day. I feel like I drink to much (water and decaf ice tea) I haven't learn to sip yet. But I feel like that is all I do is drink.

Hello all you April Bandsters Well it has been 8 days since I got banded. And I still have gas pains in my shoulders. Plus for the last two days I want to eat. I don't get my first fill until the end of the month. Can anyone tell me what you did from the time you had your surgery until your first fill. I don't want to put weight back on.

Here is his number 901-726-1056 Dr. William Gibson at St Francis. Call him and find out you will really like him. Because I not sure if he does. You also may want to check with Dr. Virginia Weaver she is also at St Francis her number is 901-765-3040

Well I made it. I didn't do good in surgery. They said I was in so much pain they had to give me so much pain meds during and after surgery. They said in recovery I would hold my breath everytime I would have a pain. Then they gave me so much pain meds that I couldn't go to the bathroom. I didn't think I was ever going to get out of there. I'm doing better now I guess. Still alot of gas. I have been walking all around my house and outside and I get up in the middle of the night and walk. Now tomorrow I can start eating pureed food I am little scared about that I haven't eaten in 4 days. I don't even feel like I want to eat. Well I hope everyone else is doing good. The month is over so we all have done it. Again I hope everyone is doing great. And good luck with the Independence Day Challenge.

Good Morning to everyone well only a couple more days and we will all be done. OMG I can not believe my turn is tomorrow I am so nevrous. But I know this is what I need. Today is going to be a real fun day, liquids only all day. I am keeping my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter today to keep me busy ( she may not want to go home after eating jello and popsicle all day)lol. Congrats to everyone that has been banded already. I hope everyone is doing great. Talk to you all real soon.

Hello Tina ok this is what I know about the whole smoking thing. Lap Band surgery is an Elective Surgery. And that is why there can do anything they want. Not saying that is a bad thing. And I say that because I am an ex-smoker know next week will be 3 months. And it was hard very hard I am 48 and have been smoking for 33 years. And I also wanted to quit so Surgery or Smoke. I pick surgery I want to lose weight more then anything else in this world. Plus I want to see my 7 grandchildren as they get older. Tina you can do it and trust me I know it is not easy. Talk to your Doctor I did and she gave me something to take the edge off. Good Luck

Well I am one step closer to the prize. I had my pre-op testing done today. My date is April 29. And I am getting very very nervous. :smile:

I need to start off by saying Thanks to everyone that reply on Lap Band Forum. It has help so much just to sit back and read and ask questions and have you nice people answer them. I have 9 days left (counting today) of the liver shrink diet and than 1 day of clear liquids. And then the big day (April 29). But today is going to be hard, tomorrow is my husband birthday so all my kids and grandkids are coming over for a cook out. I love cooking out. All that food plus cake I know I can do it ( just keep telling myself that )lol My husband was thinking about me he made sure he got chicken for me. Thanks for listening

Hello I have TriCare Prime and the only out of pocket I had so far is $12 to see the surgeon, $300 for the nutritionist, I did not have to pay for the seminar and $12 for each test I needed. The hospital call the other day and they said the only cost I will have for surgery is $25. I really don't think that is so bad.

Hello this has nothing to do with Lap Band But I saw Chapman Medical Center and said to myself I know that name My son was born there 28 years ago.

I understand what you are going thru. I have smoke for 34 years and it is hard to just quit. But I called on the help of my doctor which she gave me Wellbutrin and it has help alot. I have not smoked in 10 weeks. With that said I looked up everything I could on the computer and the trace of nicotine is gone within 48 hours. I'm not sure how they test or what they are testing for but for myself I did not what to take a chance. I was told also I could not smoke within 2 months of surgery. I go 4/21 for my pre op. But I think you you will be okay. Good Luck

Hello Kara I start my liver shrink diet tomorrow. I'm so nervous I think more about that then the surgery.:smile: I have a real good support team (family and friends) A couple of people are going to do the diet with me (at home and work). I don't know about you or anyone else reading this I am having a hard time thinking about what I may look like in about a year from now. Good luck to everyone.

Ladyjp, I find I can drink alot of water if I put Lemon and splenda in it and alot of ice I need it cold.

My liver shrink diet go like this Remember: Vegetables are unlimited on this diet. (except potatoes, corn, beans, and peas) Breakfast Protein Shake or Protein Bar Mid Morning Snack 1 small piece of fruit (if you have Diabetes add 4oz low-fat yogurt) Lunch Protein Bar Or Shake Mid Morning Snack 1 small piece of fruit (if you have Diabetes add 4oz low-fat yogurt) Dinner 3oz meat (lean)-The size of a deck of cards steamed vegetables or salad with Fat-free salad dressing 6 un-salted crackers or 2 slices low-calorie bread or 1 small baked potato 1/2 c fruit or 1 small piece of fruit Evening Snack 1 small piece of fruit (if you have Diabetes add 4oz low-fat yogurt) (you may use any shake as long as it has 220 or less calories and 10g or less fat/serving) (you may have non-caloric beverages on this diet) NO ALCOHOL Examples: Decaf Tea, Crystal Light, Sugar-free Kool-aid, Water This is only for the 2 weeks before surgery This is what my Doctor gave me

PharmaGirl, Thanks for adding me to your list. I'm not looking foward to Monday I start my liver shrink diet. But at least mind is not a all liquid diet like I hear everyone else talking about. Good luck to everyone. I hope everyone that have surgery this month is doing good.

Hello Everyone I;m getting banded April 29. I can't wait. I feel like it will never get here but on the other there is so much to do before that day gets here. I have done so good with doing whatever the doctor says to do even quit smoking after 36 years of smoking. But I am having a hard time with the coffee and soda I will get a bad headache if I don't get it I try to start with 1/2 decaff and 1/2 reg I did that for two weeks didn't help. I'm hoping someone can help Thanks Good Luck to everyone getting banded this month

Hello Everyone, I also have Tri Care Prime and I had no problems. After I got everything done my doctor office fax it all in to Tri Care and within 36 hours we got an answer back saying you are approve. The only thing that I don't understand is everyone is saying we didn't pay anything. Yes Tri Care is Good and has alway been good to me and my family I still have to pay my co-pay of $12.00 and nothing more. And trust me that is okay with me because it is not like I pay a whole lot for Ins every month anyway. And I'm not sure if Tri Care Prime is different for Active and Retired. We are Retired. All's I know is my surgery is April 29 and I can't wait I wish everyone good luck with everything. And I hope everything goes great for you.

Hello I am using Dr. Virgina McGrath-Weaver and my surgery date is not until May 19. I have been finish with everything since Feb. But like you said she is booked for months. Well 2 days ago someone from her office called me to see if I wanted to use this other Doctor, Dr. William Gibson but I don't know anything about him but I don't know anything about her. I don't meet her for the first time until March 18. I don't know what to do. Is he in the same office. Anything you can tell me would be a great help Thanks
