Thanks Krussell just left 1 of my doctors and he gave me Fluid pills. I can't believe the amount of fluid I'm carrying around my body hurts really bad.

Hello krussell! My primary wants me to have a venous Doppler done as well as an chest X-ray and a X-ray of my abdominal. The Fluid seems to be going and coming on yesterday I drink a lot of Gatorade and Water and by the time I got home I was swollen again. I just want to get back to my size 2 weeks ago. This makes me not want to ever get my band unfilled.

I completley understand ive had 3 emergency unfills that all lead to even more problems then I had before the unfill.

I hope they figure it out so you cam have some relief!!

I had my band unfilled last week also and now I am suffering from bloating' date=' pain all over my stomach, excessive burping. I feel as if my stomach is swollen but can't really tell. Are you having pain with the swelling?[/quote']

I had my first fill last week and also have had excessive burping. What causes this

Hi Sommers, Yes I experience a lot of pain especially in my lower legs. But for some odd reason the pain started in my buttocks. It's been a week now the pain is gone but my stomach and legs are still swollen.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
