Wow, really good info! -
anyone worried it won't work?
Thin_thoughts82 replied to wakeuprn's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have had horrible eating habits, which did not change when I got the band. The band only changes your stomach, but it does not change how you think about food, you have to do that on your own and that is the hard part. I often 'forget' I even have the band... Im being honest, i really thought everything was going to be different then it wasnt... -
Left Shoulder Pain After Lap Band Surgery
Thin_thoughts82 replied to vbaum's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
It is normal especially if you over eat... I find that walking makes is better. Also holding your breath for a bit helps ease the pain. -
I have had two fills and have not LOST any weight, I am at 4.4 cc's . Have you lost weight?

Hey Dena,
I had my first fill yesterday and I think I am feeling more full, I have been working out 3-4 days a week and everyone says they can see a difference, but my arch nemises (the scale) doesnt show it... How are you?
-
Thank you for posting this, I have not lost (or gained) any weight and will be getting my first fill 8/5...hoping that will help move the scale.
-
Have you been losing? Not me, I have been eating normal food, but less than before, I am not gaining either, I just need to workout more I guess. Are you eating solid food?

Anyone interested in a Christmas challenge?

Just saw this and I am joining today! I need some workout motivation. I see that many people have huge goals, but I am doing 48 lbs, which seems impossible right now...let's see how this goes. -
wow, that was a great read...thank you for sharing.

Good for you! I also felt that the warm soups and broths were more filling than the cold shakes and drinks. How funny, I told my husband that the gas pain in my shoulder hurt worse than my tummy! Oh and I also walked around my house the first week as I live in TX and it is too hot and humid to be walking outside. Good luck!

Does it always take lots of pokes for the Dr. to give you your fill?

Yikes! I was wondering about this since I have my first fill 8/5/10...now I am scared! My poor tummy is still sore from surgery... -
How soon did you start to lose weight after surgery?
Thin_thoughts82 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 7/9/10 and have not lost a single pound... how long after surgery am I supposed to start losing weight? I have been eating WAY less than before I was banded, but the scale is not showing this...HELP! :smile: -

I think it was the exercise that I was missing, I have been working out as of day 9 post op and have started to see movement on the scale! Thank you all for your support! I have been able to eat "normal" food as of day 4, just drastically less than before, and the second I feel full the band tells me and I stop, where before I would finish EVERYTHING in sight before I stopped eating. I was on a pre op diet which is where I lost the initial 7 lbs. Thank you all for sharing you experience and words of wisdom with me!!! :tt2: -

I live in Mansfield, TX, I bought a scale the second day after surgery and have weighed myself every chance I get! I have not lost ONE pound...also the surgey center called me the day after surgery but I have not heard anything from them since. I have my first fill scheduled for August 5th. I am feeling like I will be the person who this does not work for :smile: I feel well enough to start working out so I may start with the elipticall tonight. Keep me posted on your progress! -
I had surgery 7/9 as well! I have not lost a single pound and feel horrible for it. I am not in much pain, but when I sit and lean forward I feel a pull above my belly button...

I was banded on 7/9/10 by Dr. Marsden. He was great! I have not had any problems, I think the worst part was waking from surgery, and I think my shoulder hurt worse than my stomach, because of they have to pump some air into your body while you are under. I had my surgery at True results in Richardson as well and i had a wonderful experience, the nurses and all staff are wonderful!
