Hi my name is Robin, I had Lapband surgery on April5,2007 also a hiatal hernia repaired. For the 1st week I did okay I guess because I ate nothing. So when I finally started adding small amount of food I could not keep it down my doctor tried several things to no avail. He always tells me what ever is going on has nothing to do with the Lapband. Any way a couple of weeks ago I was suffering from severe dehydration they could not even pick up my blood pressure, so he finally gave me a bag of fluids, now I'm retaining large amounts of Fluid. I'm miseable I still throw up at least once a day can someone offer any advice? Thanks Robin

I would insist that your surgeon look at you under flouroscopy. He will then be able to see the placement of the band and see how well Fluid is passing through. You should not be having these kinds of problems. For him to say it has nothing to do with the lapband without delving further is unacceptable. As your surgeon, even if it didn't have anything to do with the band, he should be running every test possible to determine what the problem is.

      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.
