Lap Band Buddy Under 40



Recommended Posts

I was wondering....

IF you send message and not just an update then no one else can see that. And when you make a comment on someone else's post just make sure it's not in regards to your lb because your friends will get notified that you made a comment and they could click to go see what you said.

I don't know if there is a way to turn off this type of notification though.

Thank you!

Hi I am due to this forum. I'm 48 years old and I am trying to get LapBandTalk with plication. I see are in by your name so I'm assuming that you are a nurse. I too am a nurse. How long did you have to take off after the surgery

I am very pleased. My surgeon told me that plication will not only decrease the chances of slips, but also accelerates the weightloss as well as adds greater percentage of excess weight loss. My surgeon also took a picture of my band and completed plication to give to my family waiting for me to come out of recovery.

I'm glad you're doing we'll and that you feel young, but I disagree, age is not only a number. I made this post bc I wanted to speak to people in my age group, not a parental figure. People closer to my age like to share and listen rather than just tell people what they should think, feel, and do. I don't think you're old in any way, but the way I relate to people is MUCH different than you.

Age smage lol.. Does it matter when we are all going through the same thing? I need some buddies on NGO to so pls add me. A question about it... Can anyone else see the conversations you have with other people on there? Like I'm not telling many people I am having wls so if somebody who doesn't know adds me' date=' can they see my conversations with others who have had wls?[/quote']

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
