before n after surgery we rcv blood thinner shots so we wouldnt get blood clots. im on the depo shot 2 n hadnt had a period n a yr until after my surgery. until the hefran is out of ur system ur going 2 bleed. mine was very heavy n i was very upset but what could i do? nothing but deal with it for 2 1/2 weeks then it stopped.

have u had any fills yet? Im right behind u i was banded a month ago yesterday but i got a fill on the 21st n I had restriction for a couple of days. nt 2day though. dnt beat urself up 2day but know 2morrow its bk 2 the hard work. Its been confusing 2 me sometimes i can eat more n then other times i cnt. I dnt know what 2 do. best wishes

My fill hurted I guess i got a dull needle. rcv 8cc at first but the liquids wasnt going down. the doc took 2cc out felt much better n I have restriction with 6cc's. Its a start right?

awww! sweety I had trouble like that as well especially with the gas n port pain. for the gas sit down but straight up n rock bk n forth might sound crazy but it helped me. as far as the port pain when the gas go away the pain may lighten up. u should have been given a pamplet when u went for ur visit 2 start ur pre-op liquids. in the pamplet it tells u how 2 care for ur scars. u might have that Fluid in u n it will drain. its going 2 b sore until all the fluids is out of the biggest scar area where ur port is. still chk with ur doc, I hope it gets better 4 u

Omg is this normal? I went 2 the doctor 2day for my post op visit n i lost 14 pounds n 1 weak n he scheduled my 1st fill for the 21st of december. Is this a good thing? most 1st fills r 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. Does this mean im making good progress or is something wrong?

Im nt losing that much either n I start wrking out with my new membership jan 4th. Im suffering with depression as well maybe when I let that go I can put that energy towards my goal n I will loose more. stress can kill u. be encouraged it gets worse before it gets better. happy holidays

Since my 1st fill on monday my 2days of liquids r over. I can eat now so they say. with this restriction after 2 or 3 bites I cant eat anymore. Im happy with that as long as the weight n inches come off. Santa brought me my present n its restriction. yeeeeah!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS wishing all of u success over the holidays

I got my 1st fill dec 21st n i rcv 6cc's n boy do i have restriction. hopefully i cn see the pounds come off as well as the inches. happy holidays

I had my 1st fill monday dec 21st n rcv 6cc's. yes i do have restriction. Now im ready 2 see the weight loss because I was at a stand still before my fill. I wish u well in ur journey. kit happy holidays :-)

wow 65lbs n 4months thats amazing. what type of exercise did u do n what was ur typical diet? keep it up

just because u had a minor set back doesnt mean u cnt mentor me. we all make mistakes n maybe I could learn from u since im new here. its cool if u dnt want 2 mentor me we can be band buddies n support each other. keep up the hard work n stay encouraged

I agree with u happy holidays

oh and by the way since ur doctor is an idiot did u change ur doctor??? how do u feel when he or se tries to tell u something. It sounds like u had a bad experience do u care to share it maybe I can learn from it:thumbup:

If u wanted me to know what u were going through Im pretty sure u would have shared ur opinion with me like u did in the 1st place. Lol I didnt think ur were rude but just because u didnt get what I got doesnt mean that mine was wrong. once again we all are different and we all have a story to tell. I did question my doc and thats what he usually start off with 6cc's-8cc's depending on the patient.... 2 each is on trust me its not that serious.

What happens when u get 2 ur desired weight then what do u do? what happens when u cnt get anymore fills then what?

I hope u feel better n I promise n time things will get better. as for the pain ur twin is having it sounds like its gas. tell her 2 try gas x strips n walk as much as possible. u got walk that gas out. I had real bad chest pains right after surgery (nov 21st) it felt like someone was sitting on my chest. I went 2 Icu they ran all sorts of tests it was just gas lol. happy holidays

I feel the same way. the nerve of people right? Im so glad that I dnt take everything people type on here so personal OTFLMAO. Happy holidays 2 u sweety kit

thank u so much n happy holidays. I hope santa gives both of us restriction. how much weight have u lost so far? kit with me maybe u can become my band mentor

lol. now all day yesterday I felt tight now 2day I dnt feel anything whats that all about? I see my doc on the 28th so he can see how everything is doing I guess??? maybe he will schedule me another fill. Idk but kit with me so we can follow each other's progress

yes it was my 1st fill

we see different posts on here all the time n the main thing is that all doctors r different. Im pretty sure that I wasnt the 1st patient that he gave 6cc's to

yes it was my 1st fill

wow congrads on ur success keep up the hard work. Happy Holidays

my 1st fill is at 9am n im anxious n nervous at the same time. Im nervous bc listening 2 some bandsters they didnt have any restriction until 3rd or 4th fill. I dnt mean any harm or no offense but I dnt wnt 2 go through all that. I wnt restriction from the 1st fill n everyone after that. please lord let this fill give me restriction n with exercise n healthy eating let the weight fall off...
