It is really just slow right now, only 4.1 cc. In my band at this time. Doctor says safest to lose 2-8 pounds per month. How much are you trying to lose? Good luck! Keep in touch! The surgery is very easy, you will feel fine the same day & day after..... Keep in touch

I live in Victorville, CA looking for a local Doctor to get a fill. I was going to Mexico and my Doctor passed away last week. Dr. B rest in peace.

Started today of like yesterday, ended the day in hospital ????..over the last few days i have been finding it hard to even drink water or swallowing saliva...this afternoon i started vomiting...and that was pain like no other ! ....i called my surgeons clinic and was advised to go to a bariatric hospital...they have kept me in with fluids, anti sickness and morphine ( god bless that morphine)
..i haven't been sick this evening but pain around the port site is very significant

Sounds like your doing great now! Sorry you had a little trouble at first. ;(((. You had your surgery right after me, I have been looking for a lap band buddy to share notes with & to experience with, email me anytime! ****@Aol.com and best of luck to you too! I did have the difficulty in swallowing after my first adjustment, it was quite uncomfortable. They moved me back to liquids for couple days & each time they take fluid out or add fluid in, looks like I will be on liquids 2-3 days but doctor keeps letting me know, everybody is very different! Good luck! I would love to hear from you anytime! Our surgery dates are only 1 week apart! :))).
