I had surgery on the 12th and am having the same problem. First time it happened, I was in bed asleep. Hoping it doesn’t last long. Same here. Surgery on 3/13 and still happening

Hi! I had my surgery 3/13. I hope you’re recovering well.

I had my bypass surgery March 13th. Removed that lapband!

i look back on alot of other blogs and posts, and i see many people with ALOT of weight loss...i am not one of them...i was banded 1/10 and i have lost a ttl of 50lbs..although i am happy with loosing anything, i wish it had worked better for me... i did not have a good expierience with my surgeons follow up care...they were very reluctant to give fills...when i got to a 5cc fill, they would only give me a 1/4cc a month after... long story short...i did switch doctors, and i now feel like i have a good amount of restriction..7cc in a 12cc band. i think i want more though...not sure. i can eat more than i would like to, and there are days that i am SO hungry..other that i'm not. everyday after i wake up, i need to take whatever i'm eating or drinking extremely slow....the first tiny sip of water in the morning, and i get that "stuck" feeling...i continue to take more tiny sips until eventually it feels like ive "primed" the system, and then i can take normal sips, and eat a 1/2 hr later....anyone else having this problem? i see what some others eat/drink..and even with 7cc's i feel like i eat a regular sized meal...i stop because i know i should....not so much because i feel full...??? hmm

Ok, I was banned back in 1/10. I just recieved a phone call from Dr. Holivers office out here on the island, that I still owe a "deductible"...and another amount of $278! Are they freaking serious!!!!!! It's been 2yrs people! Just another reason why I no longer get my follow-up care from them. They have not contacted me at all until today when I received a phone call... Now I need to do THEIR billing departments job, and back track 2 yrs ago to find out why I am now responsible for these charges. Best part... She wanted $578 in full over the phone. Will not accept a payment plan even though this was not my problem they overlooked it this long... Very frustrated!

HELP!!! i am almost 2 weeks post-op, and i am on "mushy" foods. i have run out of ideas!!! i had eggsalad, tuna salad, chicken salad-- and that about does it!! i have 30 more days of this stage, and i think i might loose my mind!! i am hungry, and i dont want to deviate, but i've run out of ideas and recipes!! also having a hard time with the protein shakes. i can get one down early morning--its 8oz, and i basically drink as fast as possible... little frustrated today!!:sad:

ok, so i had my surgery on 1/12/10. eveything was excellent!! minimal pain after surgery, and i had a single incision lapband. yey!!!! soooo whats the problem? well, i was told at post -op, that my stomach is like the size of my thumb, and that i would only be able to consume small amounts of "mushy" foods. not the case here!! i left hospital really hungry. i started eating the approved foods, but i feel like i can consume more than i should, and i'm not feeling "stuffed" or uncomfortable. i stop eating because i know i shouldnt push it. i would really like to know if anyone else is having this, because i feel like i might stretch the band, before i even get to use it!!! let me make it clear that i'm DEFINATELY not eating like i used to!!! for example this morning i was able to eat 2 soft scrambled eggs. i feel like i shouldnt have been able to finish--but i had NO problems. i see my surgeon for my follow up visit wends. but i was curious if i'm the only one feeling this way.:thumbup:

i was banned on 1/12/10, and i'm still struggling with the gas pain. it almost feels like, it wants to come up, but then goes back down, and into the back. my sister was banned in november, and assures me that this is very temporary, and we will be burping like truck drivers in no time! lol. i had a great surgical expience as well, the gas problem kinda "stinks"--

wow! i also feel like i messed up already, and possible overate, and thats why i can eat so much more than expected! i keep fearing that i busted the sutures holding band in place.. but in all honestly, i am sticking to the mushies.....so idk??? hopefully surgeon will have an explanation. puzzled, and anxiety is setting in!

i had my surgery 1/12/10, and i also have a burning feeling and kind of pinchy feeling aroung incision. i had a single incision, but i think i know what pain you are talking about. i would call doc, to ease your mind, but i think your just healing. good luck to you!!

hi. i also am new to this site. i'm going through all of my doctors lists of doc's to see, before scheduling my surgery. hopefully it will be in mid january!!:thumbup:
