My surgery date was 3-14-08 starting weight was 354. I am currently down to 324 (Praise The Lord). Had my first fill today and am back on liquids for three days, then soft food for three days, and then back to regular food. I was wondering if anyone else fills bloated at times with the lap band. I hear my stomach making noises and wondered if this was common with lap band patients...

I can't answer your question about the bloating; I'm pre-band. But I'd like to congratulate you on your weight loss! :thumbs_up:

I was banded on May 23rd and I have been doing alot of cardio and lost 19 lbs so far. I am getting more and more hungry and am looking into getting my 1st fill earlier than my June 29th appt. But as for the noise and stomach rumbling I also have it ALOT...I am not sure what its caused by but It causes me no disomfort and I dont feel or look bloated. I exercise alot so this may help my bloating I think. I do drink way more Water than they reccomend too.

My first fill wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. So far I have had no problems at all since surgery. I just wish I could have had surgery before. I feel better and the weight loss is helping take pressure off of my back. I hope you do well and good luck to you on your journey.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
