Give it some time. Not everyone feels restriction their first fill.

I've had three fills and I am still waiting to find that "SWEET SPOT" I am getting close though. I am getting full quicker than I was. Hopefully the fourth time will be the charm.

I was not able to tell a difference when I had my first fill. Then I has another fill a week later and that one I can tell. I feel the same way as when I had surgery. I fell bloated and I burp often. I don't feel hungry anymore so I will wait an see if things get better as it did when I had surgery. Good Luck

Pinktweety, How are you doing?? I am down 24 lbs. now 6 weeks post op. How aobut you? Still having gas sometimes. Thanks for your answer about the gas and hope it gets better as time goes on. Never had gas like this but it is still so worth it.

I am doing good the gas problem gets better as time goes on. I am 3 wks post op and I have lost 16 lbs. I went for my first fill today

and back on clear liquids. They only put in 2cc in the fill. I am scheduled next week for another 2cc lets see how that goes.

I made a potato cheese soup, cottage cheese, chili, scrambled eggs, baked potato, Does this help?

Thanks it helps I have also tried the cream soups. I was afraid to try the chilli though it might hurt my stomach. :-?

I was banded on Oct 16 I am going into the Dr. for my first fill next week don't what to expect?

Hello

Hello.

I am 4 weeks post op this coming Tuesday (Oct. 23. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have lost 22 lbs. Lost 13 the first week. I started at a weight of 222,, 5 foot 5 inches tall. I am 55, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I felt like I was on my way out of this world. Could not control my eating and was gaining steadily. I cannot tell you how much better I feel already and how much energy I have. I am having a problem with gas these last few days. Anyone know why?

I was banded on Oct 16 and I was having the same problem. I started to take Gas X and it helps with the problem. I went to the Dr. this week and let them know about the problem and he said that it was my stomach getting used to being banded and the problem would get better with time. Good luck =D>

I got my band on OCT 16 and now I will be moving into the soft food stage. Does anyone have any suggestions on food choices that don't affect your body?

Share your experiences.

Hi Suzie

I was banded on Oct 16 and I was concerned about the rapid weight loss I have lost 15 lbs from 10-16 to 10-27 and now that I read that you have lost about the same it makes me feel better. I am looking forward to going to my next Dr. visit as I should be able to move to the soft food then.

Keep in touch share experience. Thanks
