  1. One thing I learned what to do for when I'm in public (restaurant), I always order a cup of HOT water with lime... when I feel I will be stuck I take a sip of that hot water, that hot water helps the stomach muscles and will help with the stuck period. Hope it helps.... I have also had a PB/stuck moment while driving and I decided to eat while I was driving... so all i did was grab a used cup from my cup holder and *BUAAAAAK* it all came back up and i felt much better!

  7. I once got told that I should get the lap band.... and little did they know I have had the lapband for almost a yr already! most people dont believe it's me in my before and after pics. If you want follow me on facebook www.facebook.com/kfrancolapband
  8. Hmm the Dr should be the one choosing what band is right for you, since he's the one that knows the size of your stomach and all that... but best of luck.. if you want follow me on facebook www.facebook.com/kfrancolapband

  16. vicotin is great for the pain, that you will have for the first day... but no pills, because your stomach will be sore. If you do take pills make sure to crush them and mix them well with liquid. as far as for the 1800 ppl, good luck with them.... i had a horrible experience with them, and i know i'm not the only one that has had this experience. I'm just glad I found a better facility! Someone that wont scam my insurance! But good luck and keep us informed! Follow me on facebook www.facebook.com/kfrancolapband
  17. Yes they ask you to bring it in, and they take it into surgery with you....so when you are recovering they place it on you. But if you dont have it by the day of surgery it's not your fault, just let the nurses know that u were diagnosed with mild sleep apnea so they can put it in your chart so when you recover they can keep an eye on you while you sleep! Best of luck! follow me on facebook www.facebook.com/kfrancolapband
