i guess one fill is all i needed...i think. last night i had like two bites of tunafish and came rite back up.

today i had a proteen bar for breakfest and 4 small meat ball's for lunch and i felt full. tonight

i went to have 2 leftover and could not keep them down. is this normal? i asked the doctor how much i got and he said 5 1/2

im sure she is a nice lady, but thats not me

someone's pic is on my profile and i cant get rid of it ...help!!!!!

at fills usa in N.J. the doctor is really cool and yes they know what there doing.

I asked how much i got ,and the dr said 5 and a 1/2. Does anyone know if that is alot?

yes threw up so bad i just wanted to rip the band out..

just drink lots of warm tea and walk walk and walk.

cool !!!!!

whats the port supposed to feel like ? i know something is there but some days i really cant feel it.

dont worry about the scale rite now . just keep walking,follow the diet and in a few weeks u will feel like a million bucks.

if you feel bloated sip on tea it helps.

tomorrow is my last day on post op diet. cant wait to chew again.

does anyone know if i will have any restriction or do i need a fill first?

1) campbells cream of chicken soup taste so good, i mean really really good........

2) coffe is gross- used to drink it all day long,since surgery cant stand it.

3 weeks post- op before going to the gym.

i stayed in the days inn on pacific hwy i was a dump dont stay there,

go next door to the residence inn by marriott. same price but what a difference.

also right next to the airport.

11 more days till food any one no what else i can eat besides soup and shakes?

how easy is it for your band to slip?

im just over parinoid , but im afraid to do anything. anyone got some advice?

im 10 days post op.

i did, but i stopped after the first box because im a post op paranoid freak....lol

they should be fine

im 7 days post op and i noticed today that im able to drink more liquids is that normal?

im sick today too

Hi Rob, It's Linda, Justin and I got home yesterday. I was so nauseated friday night, up all night with the dry heaves, figured i had to much sodium, it finally passed, I think I drank to much soup as well. My port sight is still really sore, guess it will be for awhile. Did you make it to Sea World? We just stayed the extra night at the Lucerna. Keep me posted on how your doing.

Linda

Linda,

thanks i guess being nauseated is normal? i keep dry heaveing then it stops hope it passes.

i had surgery on wednesday 5-14 this morning i was feeling nausea, but when i threw up nothing came up.

is this a normal side effect? i feel ok for now...

i had the same worries,so i asked Dr Ortiz before my surgery why there are people who fail the lapband.

The people who fail drink shakes eat ice cream and consume high calorie drinks. the lap band only holds solids not liquids.

Thats why they say dont have a drink with your meal.

i was banded on the 14th too. i have gas pains but that is normal. do you think you are just nervous? im a little nervous but i trust the doctors.

I was there last week and it was almost chilly. Overcast and 50's

Ok, I know this is going to sound crazy.... All I can think about is accidentally drinking the water/ice in Mexico and getting either so sick they can't do the surgery or having my band slip after surgery. Any suggestions? Has the water gotten any better?

So my surgery is this Thursday and I'm supposed to lose 15 lbs. before then, but I'm only down like 6!! Will my surgery be canceled? Anyone have any tips other than just a liquid diet to lose bigtime between now and then?

i lost 5 lbs and dr mrainda said that was fine, i get banded 5/14.

how many diferent kinds of bands are there? what kind does dr ortiz use?
