I'm not losing after my lapband....I do have restriction when I eat too fast or the wrong food...but the little amounts are not filling to me....I am drinking my Protein, but I don't understand. Anyone, who may have had this problem and found a bit of resolution...please let me know...tks to all...

I too am FURIOUS!! Just received additional $13,000 hospital bill. My doctor quoted me the price of the hospital outpatient (in writing), which I paid. She also didn't charge for the Hernia repair.....Not sure what direction to go....will call hospital to clear up and if not....will definately take a legal route!

Hello Bea...sorry for the late response....just joined after banding on 6/24....My "left" pain brought doubts, fears and remorse....seriously! The hospital and my Dr. called to ck up on me and I asked what this pain was. They both explained that during the lap surgery, the tummy is filled w/gas, which brings pain and restriction for a few days. With that said, still a bit of gas left...but the a similar restriction/pain will also come due to drinking too fast/too much....I sooo relate to what you felt...I even thought at one point because I couldn't take a deep breath, that maybe I was having a heart attack.....Soooo many things run through your head when you hurt....I hope you are doing better...take care :scared2:

Is it normal to have reservations "after" surgery? I'm having pain induced panic attacks that I made the wrong decision....I know it's just the pain....and hope the feelings are normal...
