I live in Chicago, so the temps are starting to drop a bit and I notice that when it's colder out my band hurts a bit. I'm about 7 weeks post op, I won't be seeing my dr until mid Nov. But has anyone experienced this??

I'm about 7 weeks post op, any little thing I feel is freaking me out. And I still feel a bit of discomfort every now and then. I was banded on 8/25/11@ MacNeal Hospital.

Each person is different on what they feel (or think they feel). For instance my band feels really tight if I am tense about something.

Thanks,

Yes, I've noticed that when I get angry or worked up, it hurts. I don't know if I'm using the right terminology. Maybe it is that tight feelling but it's some discomfort I'm feeling.

Relax...this is exactly why I am almost 3 yrs out from being banded and never had a fill. When I am excited or nervous or upset my band gets tight. I almost always get stuck when this happens so I try not to eat at these times. This probably will always be like this I am thinking so I work around it. Today I am having issues with gas from eating boiled eggs. Back to the gas x and living to learn how this band works. As long as you can eat and drink without throwing up, you will be okay. Just keep your eye on the band and don't panic with every new thing that comes up. I had so many stomach issues before banding that I have learned to not panic and try my home natural remedies before worrying myself to death. This is a life long journey, just take one day at a time and this forum is a life saver when you are looking for information when something comes up. Good luck and enjoy the ride.

I have to say CONGRATS to you! No fills, that is awesome!!!!!!!! Thanks for the advice, I'm a high tempered person so I have been trying to relax cuz that feeling isn't good. And I do agree with you this forum is a life saver. Now that I've been banded, I can truly say this forum has avoided so many calls to the dr's office. I love it! Thanks again!!!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
