I think you are right.

I am exactly 7 days post-op today. I have lost 6 pounds. Yes I'm sure that is mostly water weight, but I do wonder considering I get stuck on water protein drink. Also, I don't even know if the feeling I'm getting IS stuck. I'm just assuming. All I know is I have 10 band. After reading this board I'm not sure if it is a cm or cc. I go back for my post-op check up this week and will ask to make sure. But in any case I DO know it is unfilled. I went to the movies last night and the only thing I ordered was a bottle of water. just sitting in the seat was making me feel like the water was held up in my chest. I hope this is just the swelling and will go down soon. On the other hand, I obviously have restriction and feel I should be greatful.

I'm 5 foot 2 inches and my goal is 135.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was not allowed to say what I wanted to say about a topic as long as I wasn't attacking a specific person. my bad.

Both my c-sections were emergencies. So much trouble that since I had to have my tubes tied. But I was still awake to witness both the births of my children with no pain whatsoever with the epidural. They can do the epidural surgies in both emergency and non-emergency.

I'm also having some calorie intake problems. But I am only 5 days post op and am still on liquids. Today is the most calories I have been able to consume and it was only 230. Even with chick broth, water, crystal light, etc, I feel pressure in my chest. I obviously have not had any fills and I have a 10cc band. And actually I'm not even sure about that. Right before I went into surgery my doctor told me I would be getting a 10, but I didn't know there was a 10cc and a 10cm till yesterday. I have no idea now which one of those he put in me. Im almost positive it was the 10cc. I know my restriction is just swelling. But I'm curious how long it takes for swelling to go down.

I had two c-sections and was awake with both. And I didn't feel a thing. I was told I would be awake. I didn't even know they put you to sleep with a c-section. Mine was all about the epidural and local. I was wide awake with both and got to experience the whole thing, which I loved!

If this real. I'm speechless. It sounds so horrible I can't even think of words to put to it. :speechles

who all has a 10cc band. I was just curious because that is what I got and I was wondering what the benefits/down falls are for it from people who have or not had it.

I hope I keep my restriction but bieng realistic, I know that I wont. but I am going to enjoy it while it lasts.

I'm sure it is just swelling. But I have big time restriction just a few days out. My doctor does not do fills until at least 6 weeks out. But I have been feeling not once ounce of hunger not one minute in the last three days. and when I do drink some protein shake, i have to barely swallow just drops because it puts pressure on my chest if I do more.

I had my lap-band procedure done on Tuesday August 1st, which was less than two days ago. To make a long story short, the surgery went as planned in every way. Now recovery was a different story. Even though I told three different people within 30 minutes of surgery that I was allergic to Vicoden, what do you think they put into my IV directly after my surgery. VICODEN!!! I did not know about it till I woke up very sick late last night. My husband told me that I had a severe allergic reaction and it took just a minute for someone to realize what they had done. Apparently my face/neck swelled up and I had stopped breathing. I have no memory of this whatsoever. (I'm certainly glad about that). I ended up having to stay overnight so they could monitor me. I'm fine now, and thank god everything is ok. On a lighter note. I have EXTREME restriction. I can barely keep down two tablespoons of liquid. I was told it is probably swelling. Anyways, that's how it went. Thanks for listening.

so far I am really mixed about my feelings towards the surgery. I know that is just because I am sore and dehydrated a bit. Has anyone else had the feeling after surgery that you were not hungry at any time? I have had not one hunger pang, but I force myself to drink water and about 1/4 cup of chicken broth. But then I really feel full. I'm not hungry one bit. I feel like I have restriction, but I'm sure that is just from bieng swollen.

hmmmm. maybe I am allergic to something else. Or maybe I am just assuming they gave it to me in my IV. You would think I would have a memory of taking it orally, but my husband says I was talking to them before it happened. I don't even remember that. All he knew was that they all of a sudden shooed him out of the room while my face was swelling and he didn't get to come back for almost two hours. I am really curious now.

Well if it is causing a "ruckus" with certain people and really bothering them. Maybe they should be asking themselves WHY it is bothering them so much. Come on, we are all adults here. How hard is it NOT to click on something you DONT want to read?

I am so nervous about surgery Tuesday morning. Starting to actually have REAL second thoughts. I just know it will turn out okay. I'm trying to keep the end result in mind.

thanks. I won't waste my money then.

No, I was asking about WLS for dummies. I hadn't read it or bought it. I was curious if someone else read it so I would know if it dealt with GB or lapband.

I think that is natural when you are not used to it. For alot of people, that is a life they are not used to. Not even when they were younger. I think it is natural for thoughts to go through your head. As far as what you do about it. Well that is another story. Thoughts are just thoughts though. Not a person in the world can help how the feel. If that were the case, everyone would choose to feel happy 24/7. You can only help your actions after the feelings.

Some might say that "less attractive" people are more likely to cheat because they are looking for validation or are more desperate. There are some people like that. Looking for love in all the wrong places. Anyone can have sex any time they want. Especially women. Just depends on how much they wanna lower their standards. As far as opportunity. I think that you are likely to get more offers that's for sure.

I personally don't think it is more or less. I think there probably equal amounts of cheaters in every race, sex, religion,sexual orientation, fat, skinny, etc. If you are that kind of person you are just that kind of person.

One of the main reasons I'm glad I found this message board is because of fills/restriction. I know the chances of me feeling restriction with band alone are pretty slim. But I also know that if it takes a couple fills to get restriction that is common. During one of my nutrition classes for surgery approval the nurse said it can take up to 3 or 4 fills for some people to feel restriction. I hope that does not happen to me. Look at me. I was so desperate to just get my "surgery date". I kept saying if I got that I would be happy. Now I haven't even had my surgery done yet and am already disappointed about not feeling restriction. Sheesh. :rolleyes
