State: Nebraska | Newly installed Lap Band
Hello everyone. I live in Nebraska, the land of two seasons, winter and construction. Currently we are adding a new season to Nebraska, severe weather season.
I just had my lap band on June 27th, 2008. It is my understanding they do not fill it at the time the put the lap band on. For now I feel VERY little restriction. I have lost only 2 pounds since surgery. Is that normal. I called the dietician to ask if I could have cottage cheese, mashed potatoes. She said ok, just chew very well. What kind of weight loss should I be seeing now? Should I feel restricted?
:confused2:

You know, I don't have an answer to your post but I do have to say I am very ticked off that I haven't been able to be in my pool much this year!!! Oh wait, this lake that formed in my back yard might work!!!! LOL!

I think my husband is considering consolidating the airboat and bass boat and making an ARC. I am glad to hear you only have a lake in your backyard and not your house in a lake, or your house blown to Kansas. I was in the hospital in recovery after lap band surgery during the last major tornado-windstorns. WOW what weather we are having!!
Did you have lap band?
How long ago?
How much have you lost?

OMG! I thought it was just me that felt this way. I had my band in mexico and thought it was just a lack of education. As i searches the web today to find a fill center I was referred to this site. I was banded on 6/24/2008. I lost 24 lbs before the band but does not seem like post op I feel full. I too have not lost much weight. I was told by the fill center that usually your band is not filled until you are healed from the initial banding. Makes since that is why I do not feel much restriction.

hi! I also had my surgery on June 27, 2008. I don't feel much restriction either but I am just sooo afraid to eat to much or too fast!!I sometimes feel a knot in my breastbone area, is that what the restriction feels like? Kinda uncomfortable. I have lost 6 pounds since my surgery.

Dr White, Immanuel Hospital, Omaha. Everyone says good things about him. I think he is the best in the area.

I was banded on June 27, too, and have lost 6 lbs. I am on week 2 of my diet plan, and am eating protein drinks, soup, Cream of Wheat, etc. I don't feel much restriction, but felt uncomfortably full tonight when I had a 2nd small bowl of soup. I don't feel much real hunger but have LOTS of head hunger. I MAY get a fill in late August, my doctor says. If you'd like to keep in touch, please email.

Copy the bbcode from the ticker site and paste it into your signature (go to Edit Signature) and Save.
