Well done for taking the sensible step and correcting the minor glitch before it became a problem. Sounds like you've got a good handle on how your restriction should feel now, so I'm sure you'll be posting even more success stories soon. Best of luck in your future journey! | |

City: Between Johnstown and Somerset State: PA | Laphappy - I'm happy to hear you got a slight unfill. I was afraid for you, some people have dehydrated and stuff so it can be dangerous if you're too tight. I gotta correct you - its ME whos getting a tummy tuck and bandfan is getting her band in -both of our surgeries are May 1st. I'm very excited, I feel like its just a couple days now - the weekend will fly by and so will those couple of days at work.

State: CT | It's great to have the support and wisdom of others who have already been banded. Most of the "horror" Lap Band stories that I have heard were from people who had their band removed because it was too tight. They got scared and didn't know what else to do...
I will be seeking advice also after I get banded.....
As always, when in doubt, CALL THE DOCTOR!!!!!!! | |

City: Columbus State: OH | What an exciting time bandfan. By the time you are finally approved for surgery and your mind is set there is no "cold feet" at least there wasn't for me. I got 2 more cc's for a total of 5 and now it feels pretty snug. I haven't had any vomitng or anything but i can sure feel most foods going down and eating isn't quite as enjoyable. I guess this is restriction huh?

City: Florissant State: Missouri | I did not take the machine to the hospital. They said that they had once but never brought to me to use. I guess they were not that concerened about it. However I was up on and off most of the night with walking etc. so I doubt it would have done me any good. Everyone is differant keep that in mind also. Good luck.
Chris
