HI there, I know how you feel. I was banded on September 1. Anytime i have pains or PB i'm afraid my band has eroded. It's all that crosses my mind when anything hurts. I learned that you have to be throwing up all the time to erode the band.

:peace: Hi everyone!! Ashley here--I was banded september 1 and I was just curious how soon (if anyone knows) I can begin playing tennis?? I Love playing tenniss (i'm not a pro though) and i've missed it since i got banded. can anyone help me with this?

I have the same problem with gas!! I find that if I eat too fast, i get very bad gas pains. Gas-X works for me sometimes.

Hello there, My band got to that point too; i felt as though i could eat anything one day and some days I couldn't barely eat anything without feeling completely restricted. I went in for a filled and learned that the band restriction changes during the day, for ladis-sometimes at your time of the month you feel very restricted, in the morning most people are very tight, and in the evening very loose. Also, weight loss can make the band become more loose causing the feeling of less restriction.

Tricia-- I can relate. I was banded on Sept. 1, 2006. I had my first fill Monday, Oct. 1, 2006. I went from 1 CC to 2.1 CC I stayed on Liquids till yesterday and yesterday evening i had a TINY bite of humus and Got the sharp stabbing pain and i couldn't keep it down. I had to PB. I woke up this morning and had a sip of water and got the same feeling. Is that normal? Is everything just swollen? Should i get an unfill? Stay on liquids till everything calms down? HHHELLLLPPP pleasee

Hello, I had surgery sept. 1 and my first fill Monday, oct. 1. I was on liquids monday-wed. (yesterday) and I'm SUPPOSED to start mushies today. Yesterday evening i had a small spoonful of humus and I think it got stuck. I'm VERY sore and i woke up this morning and it was hard to swallow water. My fill is only 2.1 CC. Can anyone relate? Is everything just irritated? Should i stay on liquids? ahh! I don't know what to do!

I was banded on 9/1 by Dr Spiegel in Houston and am just learning how to post on this site. Will have 1st fill this Monday, 10/2. Any suggestions? Once filled, will I feel much different than I do now? I lost 14 lbs the first 2 + weeks but haven't lost any since and actually gained a few back. Is that normal since I haven't had a fill yet? I'm also hungrier now and not getting full.

Hello everyone i'm 17 years old and i was banded on Sept. 1, as of today i've only lost 14 pounds! I go in for my first fill on Monday. And i workouot 5-6 times a week and weight still isn't coming off! and i seem to not get full off of that small amounts of food! is it normal to be on a plateau? can anyone relate? will i be more restricted after the fill? ahhh!

Today for lunch i ate tuna. I had, i guess, a big bite and dint' chew it well enough. I immediately developed a SHARP pain in my chest area. I didn't throw up but i just stood over the toilet and it came out. It was sore all afternoon. Then i tried to have a popsicle and It hurt to go down. Followed by some skim milk and the sharp, pain came back and still won't go away. What should I do ?! Did i clog band? ahh!! :cry

hey everyone! I'm 17 years old, a senior in high school and i'm so blessed to be able to be banded!! I was banded september 1, 2006. I'm glad there are other teens on this site that I can relate too! I havne't had any problems yet other than one meal i ate to fast and developed a sharp, bad pain in my lower chest upper stomach.

I'm on my daughter's site set up this morning so she can have support. We're out near Beltway 8 and Memorial. Perhaps we could get some type of support group out here. I imagine those I see on here banned 9/1 were the same I saw in recovery. Ashley is doing fine. Has lost 10 pounds and headed to gym for first trip on treadmill to walk. Keep us posted. Just learning site Ash's mom,

My daughter was banded 9/1. What does BP'd mean? I hear this alot
