Don't worry so much I too was banded on March 24th, I am already on regular food and had my first fill yesterday. I too felt like I was eating to much, and I probably was but now that I have had my first fill and have talked with my doctor I feel like I am on track. My band was completly empty until my first fill, he put in 5cc's My doctor told me to only eat 6 to 8 oz at each meal, and I am to stay away from carbs. So I have started weight out my food so I don't go over. Please keep in touch we can compare notes and share out concerns. Jill FL

I have my first fill on Monday the 27th. I also haven't had any issues with food other than not chewingmy food enough. I am worried that my fist fill wont be enough. Glad to hear it only stung a little. I to am a little disappointment that I haven't lost more. But from everything I have read on this web site everyone it different and everything we are going through is perfectly normal. Keep in touch if you want.

Hi I was banded on march 24th in FL down 15 pounds

Gina you should check with Dr Domkowski or Dr valardi at the Palm Bay Hospital that is where I had my surgery done on March 24. I didn't have to pay any consulataion fee. My insurance covered everything (tricare) retired military. I suggest you check out their seminar's they have, I was very comfortable with all the staff.

Hi, I had LBS on March 24th at the Palm Bay Hospital, my doc was Dr Valardi I would be willing to share my story, though I still have a lot of questions about what the future holds for me.

My doctor had me stick to a high protein no carb diet the week before surgery. I guess it depends on how much you have to loose.

I had the lapband done on march 24th and I have adjust pretty well. But i feel lost, I don't feel like I am doing anything right. I have been on regular food for a week. I haven't lost any weight in two weeks and I've been having difficulty with bowl movements. I've been given a gift with no instructions on how to use it. I have a hard time with breakfast my morning starts early and there isn't enough time to make breakfast. I go for my first fill next week so hopefully I can get some answers. I've been having a hard time in finding a support group in my area. The one I did find only meets once a month and this last meeting was cancel which would have been my first so I am very frustrated that I am going to fail.:tounge_smile:

Thanks for all your support this has really made me feel better hearing from others and that everything I am feeling is normal. I will definetly keep with with this web site. jill
