I was banded on September 27th. I have had zero issues. Gas pain subsided quickly with heating pad after surgery, everything has been going so smoothly, I almost wondered if my surgeon actually put the band in! I have lost close to 50 pounds since surgery, I feel wonderful most days. I had my first full of 1.5 cc's at the end of October, adding to the 2.5 cc's put in at surgery. Surgeon told me in December I did not need a fill. I believe he was very accurate as I did not have any issues with hunger until a week ago. I went for a fill yesterday, he put in .5 cc's. I understand that there is swelling, what not. I am able to drink, I have stuck to a liquid diet since the fill as instructed. Today, I have the worst heartburn EVER! All day. I was out of Prilosec. Which is my own fault, just went and got some and took one. I am concerned that I am too tight? Anyone have any advice? Everything goes down, with no problems. Just horrible heartburn (which I have not had ever)

If it continues it is definitely worth a call to your doctor! You definitely could be to tight if this didn't exsist before the fill. I would give it a few days! Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon

      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...

        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.
