    Does Anybody Have Lymphodema?

    I hope it gets better.
  2. 1 years has passed since you registered at SleevePlicationTalk! Happy 1st Anniversary onamshin!

  3. i have a total of 4cc in a 10cc and i am more hungry now then when i had 2.5 cc. i had 1.5 added on 9/13/11 giving me a total of 4cc currently. please advise.
  4. i was banded 4/13/11 so I am 7 weeks out. No fill. A couple of days ago I took Psyllium Husk (Fiber supplement) and didnt think anything of it. Then something said research that and see if it is ok to take the Fiber supplement. See the issue with this one is it swells in the abdomen after you drink it in Water and it helps to keep you regular. I feel like an idiot after I took a moment to process what i had done. Yes I called my Doc I have an appointment for Tuesday. You know what I'm thinking, (the worst). I need you guys to tell me I did not ruin my band and to be more careful in the future. When will I get use to this and understand what I should and shouldn't do? I need a list of don'ts and I don't know why there isn't one that would list the absolute dont's. Thanks Guys
  5. Is it true we should not take fiber powders or supplements? I am meeting my Doc Tuesday but I think this should be discussed I see information out there and it is confusing regarding banded patients. I think we should't but i want to know what you guys think.
  6. yep, i feel it all the time when i swallow. It is not painful just annoying. It is difficult to get my food in with this issue. I think the food is not going through the band because after just a few bites i feel like im backing up. I decided to try and drink pineapple juice to see if that would clear it and it does clear the food that feels like it is sitting above the band but even after the clearing of the food i still feel the issue. I cannot figure this out. Tuesday cant get here soon enough. I am also frustrated because i find links from people who descibe what i have then it appears they go to the doctor and then they never post again. I will make sure I come back and post once I get my diagnosis so that I can assist others. Did a full pre op before getting banded to include chest xray, blood work, ekg. All came back clear. I have no medical issues. No acid reflux, no diabetes, no sleep apnea, no high blood, no cholesterol. UGH! What I do have is high stress these days. Thanks

    will i be hungry?

    I am thinking about getting banded in January or February of 11'. I am affraid and somewhat nervous. I dont know what to think about the food issues and all the possible side effects. I really want to get a handle on my weight issues. My BMI is probably 33.4. I continue to increse my weight each year and I am affraid it will get to severely obese. What is the long term success of keeping the weight off once banded. Thanks for any information you guys can provide.
