I had my first fill yesterday the 17th Nov, 5ml in a 11ml band but i am not feeling any different. Should i be feeling normal to eating as i was before the banding?? Though i did feel the band tighten and if i eat and lay down i feel sick but i dont know, does it mean i need more fill or am i just a bad person??? Anyone able to shed light on this for me please Cheers:frown:

Hi Guys, I had my op on the 19th Oct in Perth and had lost a little weight but i have been eating anything really other than Sandwhiches.. Had my first will yesterday he said it was 5ml in a 11 ml band, felt the band tighten but it hasnt stopeed e eating or drinking..... Is this bad or am i not tight enough yet ?? Should i be noticing a huge difference??? Will I lose the weight... Think i need support from fellow banders I go back in 4 weeks

well i have done it........ all done banded by Dr Tony Kierath on the 19th Oct.. Bit sore and bloated but so far so good.. 141.6kg so lets hope I start going down soon... :cursing:

Hi It is now the 3rd full day after my banding and i was wondering if anyone else has had problems with sneezing?? I sneeze and below my main cut about inch and half it kills..Like my stomach is ripping....I mean brings me to tears and takes my breath away plus hurts for over hour.... Anyone else had this :thumbup:

Hi Rachael I was sore getting in and out of bed for frist 3 days but then i was ok. I walked about 1.7km on the 3rd day so it was all good I am getting there but now having trouble with wind after eating or drinking any amount. so i hope that passes very very soon. Chin up and keep looking forward Danielle

Thank you, I am very glad to hear that someone else has had the pain with sneezing.. I was worried but like you said it is getting less as each day goes on.. 2.7kg down and moving forwards.. Cheers Danielle

Well done I was also banded this week the 19th Oct in Perth and had pain below the main cut and now i have bad bad wind with anything i eat.... I have been allowed anything that will fit through a straw. Wind is annoying and not very social at all.. I already have lost 2.7kg so i hope it keeps falling off. Good luck and hope to follow your progress

Thank you everyone for the kind words and advise..... I am quite sore about inch and half below the main cut and was in tears last night when i sneezed...... I am on pureed and liquid foods as my doctor said anything that i can get through a straw is good... though i have heard others say nothing but clear fluids.. Good luck for your op Rachael it will be great.. Wind pains hurts but all good I look forward to comparing notes as we go.. Good luck every one and keep looking forward to a better life Danielle

well done..... Glad you have done so well I was banded on the 19th Oct and hope i have the same luck as you and many others.. Goodluck with your op in Dec.
