DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH IS IN YOUR BAND??????????????

O.k. so today I went for my second fill, on my fist fill I got 1cc so I'm thinking I only got 1cc in my band so the doc decided to take all the fluid out to see exactly how much I really had, I had 5cc & 1-1/2cc added today so I have a total of 6-1/2cc so maybe I will have some restriction now,I have lost 43-lbs,my surgery was Oct.18,2010.

Super glue

I was banded on oct. 18, how long do it take for the glue to come off or go away it itch like crap. Please can someone that was banded around this time tell me if the glue is still visible on your incisions or any info would be welcomed.:cursing:

This Is It!!!!!!!!!!!

OK So I have been waiting for this day since July 20,2010 when I went to my seminar,fought my PCP,Sooo many tests,getting papers faxed,waiting,& waiting getting a surgery date,THE LIQUID DIET for TWO weeks, So tomorrow is the BIG DAY,Oct. 18,2010 I have cleaned the house,went grocery shopping,did the laundry,packed my bag just in case I have to spend the night,I AM SO SCARED my hubby is excited & keeps telling me to calm down & how proud he is of me for fighting and getting this done

My liquid diet

OK Friends I need help, I am only getting about 380 calories a day give or take a few pieces of gum my husband Is really worried he's afraid that I'm starving myself that is what I'm suppose to be doing shrinking my liver this is day 4 of liquid, sugery day is not until Oct.18,2010.:frown::ohmy:

Protein drinks

OK So I beleive in preparing way ahead of time, I have stocked up on protein drinks or should I say sampling protein drinks, I have the samplers pack of Unjury,Inspire & today I went in Rite-Aid & they had Isopure buy one get one free & I had 2.00 off coupons (coupon queen)Isopure is great when you let it freeze it taste like a slush & it gives you a break from the thick milky protein.Unjury is good also,Inspire has all the good flavor but not enough 4oz.:scared2:

The wait is on!

OK, I saw the Psychologist went great I think, all my papers are in to the insurance co,now what am I goin to do with myself.How long do this usually take,I was told I had to see a Heart & Lung doctor before the surgeon would do the surgery has anyone else had this requirement,

Its happening

Well I found out I can get around my CRAPPY PCP so yeaaa!!!! I am seeing a psychologist Tues, so wish me luck, every time a brick wall come up before me & this surgery it gets knocked down,so I beleive this surgery is destiny, now on to my next question, has anyone went into surgery for a lap-band® & got a sleeve instead,after attending the seminar I'm leaning toward the sleeve now. prior surgeries & scar tissue also I take NSAIDS for arthritis.

Getting started

I am just getting started,I am on medicaid, & medicare, I weigh 260lbs. Witha BMI of 40.2. has medicare or medicaid paid for anyone's surgery,please let me know.can't weight any longer. Oh yea medically I qualify for everything.   :smile2:
