Banded Nov 30th 2009, first fill Jan 11th (2cc's), 2nd fill Feb 11th (1 cc). I find myself PBing ALOT... I am to the point now where I am totally frustrated and afraid to eat anything! Some days I can eat fine, and like yesterday, nothing stays down. I drank broth last night and was okay. liquids are ok most of the time. But especially first thing in the am, (have to take meds) I feel like someone just shoved a hot sword through my chest. My doctor isnt very talkative nor is he informative. I have asked questions and he replies "have you checked out Lap band .com?" Well yeah I have ... anyway... I have another appointment March 11th and thought about canceling it BUT should I go have some Fluid removed? I have a 14cc band... This makes it extremely hard to do anything! I measure everything and try to eat slow..but havent been really "waiting" 1 or 2 minutes between bites. Try this first or see about removing some? I just know I am restricted now, and dont want to go back to not being restricted at all...PLEASE HELP

I was banded Nov 30th 2009. New to all of this and have a couple friends that have been asking me questions about what I do & how things are happening for me. I am nervous about this because I was only banded a month before them. I had my 2nd fill Feb 11th 2010 (2cc's 1st fill, then 1cc 2nd fill) & have been very restricted since. Some things I can eat more of and some I get sick on. I have had a significant amount of PBing since my 2nd fill. I honestly think alot of it is me either trying to eat to much OR too fast. My doctor seems to be the type that if I ask questions he refers to the "have you been on lap band.com?" I didn't ask him that! But yes I have... I have gotten more help here than from him. I feel like everyone is different BUT alot of us are having the same problems, and can help each other. I just want to do this right and not mess up my stomach or band because I have been PBin.

I have told family & close friends, however the 2 weeks off work caused alot of questions. I don't hide the fact that I got the band. And actually there are quite a few of us now that have it there. We support each other for the most part. I do however get tired of the daily how much have you lost... I do not weigh daily and the skinny people that continually ask aggravate me sometimes. Maybe if I truly thought they cared even a little it would be different. Also the "Hey skinny" ... why do people have to place "labels"? One...I'm far from skinny, but working on a healthy weight. Two... I have a Name...and its not "skinny"... Maybe they mean well, but it gets old.

New Here - had surgery yesterday!
Lady Crimzon replied to cynpatt's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am newly registered. I was banded Nov 30th 2009. I do have to say that I have gotten a few answers and ideas from reading the posts on here. As I am sure everyone else feels the same, I am excited and scared to death of messing up.
