Hello DR C:help: You dont know me, but I went to your seminar and you preformed my Mothers surgery. I got my lap band on 6-8-06 (Just 10 days ago) . Because of insurance, I had to choose a different docter. I have had no issues at all, and did something really stupid. I took a few bites of pizza...now I am really overwhelmed with the guilt that I may have ruined my new band. It didnt make me sick, I am just worried that I may have a blockage or something. I took the dreaded bites yesterday, and although I feel fine today, I do have a really really "Full" sensation. (I have not really had that in the past) I can't tell if my guilt is just getting the best of me or what. I know what a great doc you are...please give me some advise. Thanks DR C! ps: I have learned my lesson, and will not touch another bite of food till I am allowed to!!

Thanks Doc C I have learned my lesson! I guess I am ok..since I have not been sick..but believe me I have learned. I have talked with Erin before. My Mother's name is Pam. I meant your whole staff at a seminar and you when you did my Mom's surgery. Are there any signs I should look for that would indicate a slipped band or a blockage. And from now on....only mushy creamy, liquidy food (at least for 2-3 more weeks) It is really great that you offer your experitise to people that have had the lapband! I already new you are great, and you proved that again! If you get a chance, just let me know if there are any tell tale signs of a blockage or a slippage I should look for Thanks again for all of your help! Newbandster2006
