Banded April 26th and have hit a plateau, i appear to be losing inches... but the scale has not been moving the dietician believes that i am not eating enough. i go for my first fill in june, will the results increase after that???? starting to get VERY discouraged.... advice please......

I was wondering the same thing, i was just recently banded Tuesday April 26th.... The tissue surrounding the port is very tender and hurts when I bend forward.... is that common

I am now officially a bandster.... Surgery went well found out that I had a small hernia, which he repaired.... But how long does the gas pains/abdominal discomfort last??? I have been walking and no relief, I never thought I'd imagine myself saying, how bad I wanna fart and burp. (not trying to be ignorant, just keeping it real). I dont have much of an appetite yet....Cant get pass the gas pains , Im useing gas-x like crazy...ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!

I started my pre-op diet on Tuesday April 19th, its not as bad as i thought....Im just sooo nervous about surgery, Im afraid of being put to sleep....

Good luck, everyone.... I will check in tomorrow after my surgery.....

Dont give up, in my opinion Tricare is giving you the run around , I did not have to see a nutritionist for approval only a psycologist no physician supervised diet, I was approved in a week.... Please dont give up and I wish you the best of luck, Im scheduled for surgery April 26th....so nervous but sooo excited....

Thank you sooo much and congrats on your upcoming surgery and yes I will keep updates on how everythings moving along and I hope to hear from you as well.....
