Try Syntonics they have shampoo and conditioner , but I just purchase the herbal pill for hair growth my beautician recommends it to all her client with hair loss problem. I have only taken them for one month ,she say I will start seeing changes in two months . I can say I have less shredding in my comb and brushes. You can purchase from a distrubitor or just google it and find a beauty supply online that sells the product.

My Doctor says Protein first an example meat ,eggs first because its dense and longer to digest (move through the pouch) therefore you stay satisfied longer

My Doctor is here in Beverly Hills and he does all his fills in the office. I think that Doctor is doing that so he can bill more to the insurance company.

I myself would not due to so many germs are in public pools ,youll just be exposing yourself and the end result would be INFECTION!!!!!

I totally understand I went through the same thing eating a cheeseburger I felt sooo gulty . I then join weigfht watchers online until I get my fill which is scheduled for Aug 4, so dont fill bad it natural.

I joined weight watcher online on this past tuesday I love it I think it will work well with my new Lapband They also have a Phone app.

Me TOO!

I know how you feel especially when you read other posts and how much they have lost, Im 3 weeks out and lost a total of 13 pounds but I also must admit when I could start to eat mushy I ate several things that put a halt to my weight loss like ice cream and I had a couple of Mc Donalds Frappe, A BIG NO NO!!. So last night I went online and joined weight watchers so I could at least pick out food and count points to keep me on track. I really felt gulity!

Im taking off 16 days I work ER and sometime I have to lift assist moving patient from gurney to bed my surgery is scheduled for June 30 so I plan to return by July 18th.

Im schedule to have my surgery on June 30th, I must say I have researched for a year before making my decision, Why so long well Im a ER nurse and I see so many people come into the ER with nausea and vomiting and abd pain...why... Because they dont stick to the prescribed diet ! Give yourself time to heal.... follow what the after are diet prescribes and believe me you will not have all the complications that many Lapband patients have...good luck and welcome!!!

Yes I have the same insurance I live in Los Angeles , I really think its up to your surgeon and they submit it to the insurance company . It took only 2 months to get approved without all the red tape . If you live in the area email me and I can get more in detail . I have a friend that have a *** she had lots of risks factors and was in great need for the Lapband , they made her go to class after class before they even consider her for surgery. I had no problem.

I purchased the recipe book from Amazon called 200 under 200. Its 200 recipes 200 and under calories it have some great recipes to try.

First you have to unblock yourself from below before the oral remedies can start to work from the top . So go to CVS or Walgreen and purchase Ducolax Suppository you may need two to work. they are a simulant that will get the lower colon to spasm to push the hard stool out then, buy Miralax the name brand not generic and take it up to 3 times a day. Please stay away from fibercon or Psyllium type of products!.... dont want to be nasty but it will turn your poo into a gummy like stool and it wil be hell trying to pass. Try these steps and I promise you will sing my praise!!!

My surgery date is June 30th, Im in the same boat as yourself my BMI is 32 my weight is 191 I was 135 a few years back, I just hate to take pictures and look at myself in the mirror , I have tried every diet known to man, I think Im immume to diet pills , Ican take 2 diet pills and then eat a cheeseburger...lol. I feel If I dont get a handle on it now Ill be at the 200 lb club soon. I say lets keep up with each other journey. I have joined obseityhelp.com also,check it out . It was recomended by my surgeon office. I just know what good for "me".

Im so glad to read your post ,my surgery will be June 30th I here the same thing" youre not big enough "but people dont realize I weigh 190 I was 135 a few yeas ago and it has been impossible to lose a pound, I have my appt for my pre-op testing my my PMD Im afraid she will feel the same wayas everyone else regarding the surgery but after reading your post I feel much better. when is your surgery scheduled I would like to saty in touch and we follow each other progress.

I was at TJ MAXX and started looking at dresses and tops size 2x then I glanced over a small very lacys summer blouse size 6-8 . I immediately STOP SHOPPING!!! I said not until Im banded! So now Im looking for Apple Laptop. So DIVERT your money elsewhere for now!!LOL

I had the same concern I was scheduled last year for the Lapband and cancelled my surgery, but I have done so much research and read so many blogs this past year that if you follow the Post-op diet example liquids then mushies and chew and eat SLOWLY then I think we will be just fine. I have 3 co-workers that had it done, 1out of 3 is losing weight and only had one nausea episode. She is losing weight looking great, the the other 2 are often in the bathroom vomiting after a meal and the weight loss have SLOWED down. But I see they are eating food that should be a NO, NO! So if I was you join as many Lapband fourms and google your questions and concerns the more knowledge you have the more comfortable you will feel.

Thank you guys, my husband and myself are Nurses he work ER so he see patients come in quiet often with nausea and vomiting after Lapband placement. Believe me I have done my research and many that come thru the ER have either over eaten or eaten the wrong type of food. Very seldom its a complication with the Lapband itself, they always perform Ct scan or abdominal Xrays and find nothing wrong. They are treated with IV fluids and nausea medication and sent home. I will just keep reassuring him that I will follow my Post-op diet to the letter. When he see the new thinner and happier Kaye he will be happy!

My Husband is not supportive of upcoming Lapband surgery ,Im afraid if I get sick post-op .ie vomiting ,not able to hold food or liquids down,Im going to hear "I told you so" Are their anyone else dealing with this ,if so how do handle it?

Boy you have determination GOD Bless you and your journey my surgery is set for June 30th, I must say if I went thru all that I think would have quit!

Prayer are with you sister girl!!! Keep us posted on post op recovery!!!

So happy for you Im counting down until my date..... I have a stack of jeans that were my favorite and I refuse to given away,,so Im waiting to just pull them on and look sexy again!!

4 people at my job that have Athem BcBS says it took about 2 months from start to finish, Im going into 3 weeks waiting . I getting fustrated ,but keep telling myself to be clam and WAIT!!!

Im with you, Im always logging on any chance I get, no one at work know that Im planning on the lapband so the same people with all the good food and sweets ALWAYS save a dish for me,wow.... I cant tell them no thank you, I trying to learn discipline before surgey, because I know I will be paying the big price by throwing up! UGH
