I love my band when I am not eating. My third fill was Thursday and all food and liquid has slowed down. I now have a love/hate relationship with my band. I have not got the rules down but I am learning. Other than pain any suggestions on the eating slow and small bite rules. I should not complain my weight is dropping.
I was wondering if I needed to do anything special before my first fill which is Oct 15. Maybe fast or proshakes, no food, I do not know. I have been at the same weight for 2 weeks after losing 50lbs really quick. Still really happy.
Thanks
Andy
I was rejected for a year and a half with all my records and jumped through all the hoops. They still rejected me. Turned all my records over to Bariatric Law in CA. Three weeks later I was banded. Don't give up I'm glad I didnt. Insurance will look for any reason to reject claims. I dont trust any insurance company.

Not a fun day hosted a birthday party. A week and 1 day after being banded starting to feel a little hungry. I love my BBQ grill. SORRY
Im on post op shakes now and i mix my shakes with low fat soy milk.I can not stand them mixed with water. Bariatric Advantage meal replacement strawberry and vanilla.
Down 2lbs. Got up early for a holiday, all 3 of my children were in races at the Arthur Ill Cheese Fest. They did really well. Drank 2 shakes and put down 56oz of fluid. Just a little shoulder pain and my stomach hurts. I got really tired at the fest. because I stood for 3hours.
I have felt good today. Slept in my bed 4 hours and got up and walked around then fell back to sleep for 4 more hours. My shoulder pain is gone, Stomach still hurts. Had my first shake at 3 pm. I drank it over a 20minute period. No sickness. Not feeling hungery at all.
I want to thank everyone again. Day 2 post op Lots better this morning, shoulder pain is almost all gone I can breath easier, sleeping still a little bit of a pain. Dr. Sidney Rohrscheib is my doctor he is located in Clinton and Champaign Illinois.
Thanks to everyone, I have been setting the kitchen timer for a hour and when it goes off I walk around the block. I have a lot of swelling and bruising is that normal. Most of my shoulder pain is gone.
Had the band put in today. Sore and a little crabby. My shoulder and upper stomach hurt. Pre op weight 373, pre July weight 405. There is no local support so i will try this forum.
Thanks
