  2. Question- Should banded people add additional Fiber to theor diets such as Benefiber? Do these supplements keep you full longer? And if you have no "potty" issues should you still take fiber? Where do ya'all get your fiber from?

  10. Always check with your doctor - I was allowed to ride my stationary bike- walk- treadmill at 5 days - After my 7 day check up I was advised I can do anthing I want except swim (was allowed pool after 2 weeks) no beach, lake or ocean for 6 weeks due to possible bacteria. If I "bounced" too much I could feel the area where the port is starting to be uncomfortable so I would slow down the bouncing
  11. I was eating 300-400 a day till around week 4 - since then I average 650 a day and feel satisfied- Are you taking Vitamins every day? And do your vitamins include D and B?

  17. I work in the Medical Field and NO he cannot say anything including seeing you at the hospital UNLESS you give him written permission. HIPPA is a federal law so youa re safe unless he wants to lose his job
  18. I have BANISHED my scale - I have decided I was driving myself nuts and now weigh when I go to the doc (right now he wants to see me every 2 weeks at least for the next 2 months ) to see if I need a fill or not -- afte the 2 months I quess I will have to bring out the scale at home again
