My surgery date was April 29. I was told I would start losing more weight once I get in the required amount of protein and water. Also, I have not been regular (if you know what I mean), but this is not due to having surgery. Good luck at your weigh in.

Yes, I was hospitalized for 4 days because I was dehydrated. I thought I was sipping enough water, but I guess I was not! Just had my 3 week check-up and lost 20lbs Yea! I was told to try and get more protein in and keep drinking water, water. So a hard lesson learned, bottom line water, water and more water!

Yes, I think you are right and i will ask for an "unfill" Thanks for answering!

I had my surgery on March 8, 2010:thumbup:. I had my second fill in May for a total of 4cc's. My problem is after the second fill I started burping constantly. I mean from the time I wake up in the morning until I go to bed! I called and spoke to nurse and she said if I could live with it, it should not be a problem. (the reason we came to this decision is because I was moving from Ohio to Florida and I knew it would be hard to find a doctor here who take me on for a few months, now I am not sure if my job contract will be renewed for me to go back to OH). Well the problem I am having is I can only take a few bites of food before I throwing up! No matter what I eat, it comes back up and I am not losing any weight:thumbdown:. Should I try to look for a doctor here or is this something that I am going to have to go through?... Also, how much should I be eating anyway?

I am Tampa, and I am currently looking for a doctor now, so far the ones I have been in contact with have said they like to have patients they did they surgery on, rather than taking on someone else's patient. I am waiting to hear from my doctor in Ohio. They are trying to find someone for me too!

Yes! I thought I was doing something wrong. I was banded on 3/8/10 and when I got the OK to start solids, I have noticed that I have gained. I am hoping once I get my fill, I will see the scale moving to left.
