Best wishes... post again to let us know how you are doing! -
Lapband AFTER tummy tuck
CHEZNOEL replied to sugarsugar101's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I had my tummy tuck about 3 years before the lap band. No problems whatsoever, and my flat tummy even came back! Good luck, just make sure your surgeon knows about your previous surgery. -
Fear of stretching
CHEZNOEL replied to happy&blessed's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds like you should be fine. Don't worry... worry leads to stress which leads to eating... at least with me! Relax and enjoy the ride! -
Generally you need to watch for "soft stops." They vary but can include: Coughing, sneezing, runny nose, hiccups, etc. I generally get one of these before I get the full sensation. Once I feel full, it is way to late... I am miserable for hours. I did not check you profile, but it sounds as if you are recently banded. If so, take it slow and easy. Good luck!

I have entered a world of constipation
CHEZNOEL replied to lovely29's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor just put me on daily Miralax, half dose each day. Until this week I have had chronic constipation. I also take 3 stool softeners daily. Benefiber did nothing for me. -

Hi, nice to find you all! Just set my surgery date, and I am a petrified little weenie!
CHEZNOEL replied to nikils015's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of support here. I found it very helpful on my journey so far. Lots of folks are nurses, and yes we were all nervous. I think that makes you normal! Bee Healthy -
Esophageal Yeast infection
CHEZNOEL replied to amyj61's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Oh no! It sounds very unpleasant. Good luck going forward. I hope you are able to get back to your weight loss journey soon. -
I bought a couple of outfits from discount stores to keep something that fit. A lot of folks use Goodwill and I have found they have great deals... sometime on name brands with label still attached. Belts help! Good luck on your journey.

I agree that more patients fail due to their in-ablilty to accept and follow the guidelines. I see a lot of people who got the band so they would get magically thin. Well it didn't happen like magic for me. I worked for and every other successful bansdster I know has worked hard for it.

I don't know... obviously did not like a post a made somewhere. Thanks for the comments.

Guess I know who will block me first. To everyone... I don't post to be mean or hateful, but if this isn't real life what is? I sure thought lap band surgery was real!

Your docs office should have given you an info packet. If not call and ask to speak to the nutritionist, as every doctor seems to have different approaches. If I told you something it would just as likely be wrong as right.

Need help feeling down
CHEZNOEL replied to Virtiouswoman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hang in there. it is a tough time of year and the body does strange stuff while healing. Stay away from the scales for a few days, and eat more protein. -
19 And Trying To Figure It All Out
CHEZNOEL replied to Ashmarie117's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Get the free info packet online, and use it to talk with your parents. -
You need to eat and drink, especially with congestion. Call the doc on Monday and keep drinking whatever you can!

Should be fine if it runs off the spoon!
