So update to mine.. hahaha.. I totally got them done this week. Hubby caved. I love them. They hurt like a b*tch. Just sayin, LOL

So I am still going to ask my doctor.. lol.. This thursday is my fill. I'll let you all know ( for just general reasons) what he said. So for havent had an issue with it...Guess a lot of ladies dont think about this issue?

Lmfao! Bunz....let me know how that goes..hehe

LOL!!! Thats what he keeps telling me. Protien..or Vitamin-P lmao.

Bahahaha!

lol FYR? Flash your rack?.....

Ok , so I found one post ~http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/63642-ahemvery-personal/page__hl__oral%20sex this cracked me up.. Makes me wonder though.. hm. "Wonder how many calories is in that stuff? And would we want to record it on our food diaries???"

Rofl... your response cracked me up! Why is it that I cant keep a straight face during this entire thread!? Hahaha So far I have not run into any problems with vomiting anything back up.. or not being able to...NOT eat anything... so I guess I will find out. Im about 7.5 cc filled in a 10cc band . So far No urgency postings.. just giggles.. so I guess so far so good..LOL Thank you!

Thats what my hubby tried telling me... but, to be honest--obviously never 'measured' it.. but the thickness and consistency of bodily fluids are what mainly had me concerned. When I was sent home from surgery--I was told to take fiber- benifiber ...not Metamucil , as Metamucil was" far too thick" and caused issues with the band, as my surgeon said.. So I was afraid to even attempt it mostly. :-/

[ I cant figure out the Multi Quote on this forum..so Im responding individually ,sorry ] .......No offense taken.. its a hilarious topic. I'm not ashamed to ask my doctor... I am just trying to avoid taking him by surprise and having coffee spewed on me rofl!

Well, sorry,.... I did try that.. but the search criteria was a little narrow " Does swallowing break your lapband" is a little tricky to find. LMAO! I did look,btw.

This is a serious question, but obviously...its humorous, lol . But please, serious answers ONLY please. No reprimands. Probably for women... but any inputs are great! I was banded in October 2011- Down about 50 lbs, feeling great. Starting to heal up nicely, getting my sex drive back (woo!)( which almost completely fizzled out due to insecurity). My hubby and I (of 9 years) are very open minded and active, and this could be an issue (which I will work around)... one i didnt think about before..and Honestly, id rather ask HERE on this forum, rather than face my male doctor and have him look at me strangely.... My hubby and mines sex life is important, and im just covering my bases. Just not comfortable with it. But I will approach it sooner or later. so, question being... After the band, I was told no drinking thick, sticky substances. No chugging, guzzling, or anything larger than sips. So you may or may NOT know where Im going with this... If you dont, then this isnt the thread for you. Is it SAFE, and non harmful to the lap band, to preform oral, and digest bodily fluids---??? I don't want to risk band slippage or something.... has ANYONE asked this, wondered this?? Anything??

Keep drinking water.. sip it frequently.. it will start to dissolve.. Try gargling?

I paid cash price , self pay for mine, included 1 year of fills. Every fill after that is 125...True Results in Scottsdale, Az.

Doctors can be total assholes sometimes. I went in for my feet, I crawled to the bathroom at times.. holding on walls collapsing from pain. Its called ( plantar faciaitis..bruised heels and tight tendons...=feels like death ) had it most of my life.. didnt notice it really until i hit my 250+ mark... 300.. it killed me... The doctor said... " Your fat, quit making excuses, and get off your butt and your feet will feel better. Wont kill you to get off the couch."... wow. I was speechless. RUDE...Well he was right, but rude. but its there, permanently, for one. The severity worsens with weight. So , ok whatever. But dont be so damn mean about it. Sometimes it takes the harsh things in life to wake u up.

I try to do it no less than 30 min. If i dont read or listen to music... i find my self timing it.. MIN by MIN.. and it makes it even harder... I get very short of breath, and now that I cant CHUG Water like before.... the sips arent as good...and my chest starts to hurt. Also the fact that Ive dislocated my left knee Twice, its starts hurting. But hurts because im over weight, the stress.. so if I go " oh whoa is me"... ill be fat and in pain the rest of my life... NO PAIN NO GAIN! but...no one said getting there would be easy.

I eat before so that I work it off, and also dont feel like massive crap for eating what i just busted my ass for at the gym. Then I come home and have a nice healthy protein shake.

A & C both. Ill have a few M&Ms or a bite or three of icec cream.... carbs, more of them than normal. a sip of fruity juice.... but in tiny portions. I probably shouldnt. But i cant eliminate everything, all at once. I dont want to become comfortable with taking 3 bites of this and that , when i get a sweet tooth either. I am going to try my hardest, and make it happen to find band friendly alternative sweets.... so that I can have them withouth feeling like a total ass about eating it right after. Im afraid to drink soda ever again lol... Im also terrified that I keep eating to much and my band may slip or something... Still new to it. But I dont want to push it. ( more than I have ) Didnt drain my savings account of nearly 14 thousand dollars to FAIL!

Nirmul did mine as well.. very,very pleased with the entire clinic too.

wooooooow!!!! amazing!!

Being big, you go through pants like no other, at least I do...I was down to one pair of pants that fit me and I keep losing weight, lots to lose, so I can't afford to invest in more clothes right now. Does anyone ( from arizona or willing to ship) have any size 26/28 they're willing to give up?
