BigGirlPantiez 1 Posted July 18, 2006 I am recovering from banding last Friday. I am afraid to post too much as I am on pain meds! I can just imagine the crap I would write!!:ermm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fat2Phat 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Actually that could be somewhat entertaining! Hope the recovery is going well for you! Please update us when you aren't taking the pain meds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MelodyJ 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Still alive and well in Orange City, FL....going today to see if I need an unfill.....have lost 16lbs in 14days as can't keep much down! Figured 2 wks was a good try to see if the band loosened a bit and it's not!!! God Bless, Melody Banded 3/20/06 -66lbs :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teresita 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Ouch MelodyJ how much fill do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MelodyJ 0 Posted July 19, 2006 My dr believes in "not wasting your money" ....so the first fill was 2.4cc....they removed 1.8cc....then on July 5th they put in 3cc....I drank 4 sm glasses of Water....on the way home took a sip and promptly vomitted all over myself....called them drove back 50mi and he used flouro and removed 0.1cc....I truly did 4 days of liquids as instructed then slowly went forth....but I vomit almost every day at lunch....can't drink til around 10:30am or it gets stuck....at least cold stuff....then can only eat around 3 or 4 bites for lunch....usually stuck by then....then dinner just depends.... more days than not I can only eat about1/4 cup?! I thought it would lessen and tried not to complain..but it's stressed my husband as he's watched and worried!!! LIke I said LOVE the weight loss... .but this isn't the way ...and I don't want slippage from too tight....I'm thinking if they remove maybe 0.4cc I should be great!! We shall see.... Thanks for asking and caring!! God Bless, MElody Banded 3/20/06 -66lbs :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scribby 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Hi, Im Angie..I live in Northern Virginia about 20 min outside of DC. I live with my bf and 1/2 the time with his 2 boys. I have a porky bulldog named Tyson who takes care of the need for my own children. I am an assistant property manager for 7 commercial office buildings in Reston, VA. My surgery is August 9th. I weigh 288, am 5'8 and will be 31 in December. My fantasy goal is 164 but would be ok with 185..so somewhere in between. Been fat since birth, so have a lot to look forward to. I have a degree in Pastry and cooking so that didnt help! "Never trust a skinny chef" was always my motto..not anymore dammit! Its taken a year to get approved through insurance..bastards..but at least that parts done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbmorgaine 0 Posted July 19, 2006 :clap2: :clap2: We finally got our airline ticket information!!!! Yippie! :clap2: :clap2: We are for sure scheduled for August 10th! I am so excited I can barely stand it... :eek: :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MelodyJ 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Well....I'm checking in!! Believe it or not he did NOT unfill me!!?!?! He used flouro and the liquid went through in less than 1 sec....I watched!!! He was great and listened to my details...then walked me over to another doc and we all three discussed what to do! I am on liquids another 2 wks and then he wants to see me....the only negative is driving 105mi each way....and drinking liquids!! We think that since I have thrown up almost every day....lost 17lbs in 14days....then I have just kept irritating myself!? Made sense too me.....I told him I just didn't want to cause my band to be displaced! He said he believed I would be fine especially since I do well w/ liquids later in the day. I am not dehydrated. There are risks w/ putting a needle in the port. I truly feel good long as I'm not arfing/pb'ing, etc!! There is such a learning curve w/ this band stuff!! The biggest blessing was he didn't charge me today!!! YIPPEEE!!! I must pay him as he did not do my surgery b/c I used to live in TN. Thank you so much for caring!!!! GOd Bless, Melody Banded 3/20/06 -67lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
