My doctor is the same way. I had to get the shots also after surgery.

That is great!! Congratulations!

Knowledge is Power!!! Can you post PSA weekly?????

Mom of Trips- I had no problem with pain after surgery. I was up right away walking around after surgery, never took the pain meds, and lifted my daughter into the car seat upon leaving the hospital. With that being said, I was also up walking around about 4 hours after my c-section and wasn't bothered by the pain. Good luck to you! I am sure you will do great!!

Yahoooooooo!! Congratulations!!!!

It sounds like you are doing great lsmmom! Keep it up! I had my first fill last Monday and no true restriction. Rats!

WAY TO GO!!!!!!! Keep up the hard work!

I went for my first fill on Monday and my doctor said that he is starting fills that way (via Flouroscopy) as of next month. So, when I go back in June, that is how he will do it.

Good luck, BillOh! You'll do GREAT!

I didn't take anything when I left the hospital

I was banded on 3/27 and I had my first fill on Monday (5/11) I don't feel as if I have much restriction, but from what I have read, that is to be expected. Anyway, my doctor told me when I come back for my 2nd fill at the end of June, he will be doing it under the x-ray so he can see exactly what he is doing and not "guessing" at how much to put in. He told me that this is the new way of doing fills. Has anyone experienced this x-ray technique before? Does it really work better than the current "guessing" method?

It sounds like you are off to a great start! You could try things like poached eggs, tofu, seedless yogurt, applesauce. HTH!

I have twin girls that will be 3 at the end of the month. I was banded on March 27, so I am still pretty new to this. I am sure my tummy will never go back to normal!
