banded, banding, bands--verb--To assemble or unite in a group
LFW replied to LeighaMason's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for your help. I never thought about irritating the band and being swollen. I have moved and am looking into a new Dr. now. I appreciate your help and will try going back to liquids for a few days. Thanks again. -

I Have had a lot of the same problem. Never considered I may be too filled. I've had my lapband since Jan.,2010 and have only had 2 fills. The sliming is driving me nuts. I have lost about 60 lbs. I have a 10cc band and only have 2.5 in. Do you think too full or need to go back to liquids AGAIN? -

The whole drinking with meals "RULE"
LFW replied to pmommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor recommends not drinking with meals but to drink adequately before a meal and wait at least an hour after meals to drink again. I do not find this difficult if I drink 4-6 oz. before I eat. Drinking with meals fills your pouch and comes back up. You will be fine. This is not difficult at all. -
Hi Mary, My name is Lynn and I was banded January 31st, 2010. I had my first fill 10 days ago and am having difficulty drinking all the water and keeping the food down. Seems to be too much saliva. How are you doing with the food. Do you have any suggestions for me. I'm really excited about loosing the weight. I am much older, 63, but young at heart.
