So I went back to my doctors office, and he took out 0.1cc. It's a small amount but it has made a huge difference! I have great restriction without the pain, no nausea or vomiting:) here we go!!

Hey I too just got a fill (.5 cc) two days ago. I've had my band for a couple years, but I've never experienced this. I haven't had a fill or unfill for about the past 9 months. I can eat, and drink- but I just have pain... It hurts a lot! Its in my chest and back and started a couple hours after my fill ( along with a crazy headache too!) ( which ive never had happen before either) I found that drinking hot water helps a little bit for comfort measures.. Anyone have any advice? Should I just wait it out! Go back on liquids for a few days?

Hey guys! I've had my band since 2009, and I got a fill yesterday and have had a killer headache since. I've tried everything from coffee, water, sleep, hot bath, pain killers.. Etc, and nothing seems to help. I've never had this happen before. ( and I've had numerous fills and unfills!) . Has anyone else experienced this? What helps it?

Ok me too!!Me too!! I've kind of been neglecting my band the past 9 months and gained 16 lbs on top of what I still need to lose! Booo! I got a fill a few days ago, and I'm focused to just do it! I want to lose another 30 lbs! Let's go girls!!

Shoot!! Do you think it will go away on its own? Or will I have to go back in for an unfill?

Hey there.. I am currently 4 days post op lap band and I have been experiencing a lot of diarrhea. The third day I went a couple of times, but yesterday was the worse. I have very painful cramps and really felt sick. Is this normal? Is it from all the drugs in my system...or could I be developing lactose intolerance? Has this happend to anyone? Thanks and Merry Christmas

:smile:Thank you guys soooo much! It is so embarrasing to ask....but I am happy I did! At least I know it will not last forever! Merry Christmas!

Hey there! I just wanted to stop in here and introduce myself. I just got the band put in Dec 21st and I am feeling pretty good... minus the gas pains! I am excited to be on here and I look forward to hearing from you. Happy Holidays! :)

Thank you Mimi! It looks like you have been very successful with this, do you have any advice for me? Happy Holidays! ps- How do I put on the weight loss tracker?
