First Airplane Trip Post Band...
Dawn200321 replied to Dawn200321's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks all! I hope my band does tighten up a bit lol. Right now I need a fill but I am going to wait till I get back for that -
Yes when I had my gallbladder surgery I had 5 ccs. THey had to take all my fluid out. Then when I went back she could only put the amount I had taken out back and .2 more....I was already needing a fill before my gallbladder and this .2 isnt doing anything for me...I think I am going to wait till I get back though. I will just have to be extra careful on what I am eating

No liquids through security....You can only take the liquids you brought on the other side of security on the plane -
See thats what im struggling with. I am afraid that if I get the fill before I go then It may get to tight and I will be miserable for 3 weeks but right now my band is very loose!

30 pounds is awesome! Just sounds like you need a fill! You will probably feel much better after that! -

How Often Do You Weigh Yourself?

I used to be once a week but now I have become obsessed and step on the stupid scale everyday. I really dont know how to break this bad habit -
How Much Weight Did You Loose At 6 Months?
Dawn200321 replied to Marla290's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had my surgery on October 19th 2011 and so far I have lost 55 pounds -
Sadly yes...weight discrimination does exist. I am pretty sure there is no current law against it either. I almost landed a great job when I moved here to FL. I am almost certain the reason I wasnt hired was due to my weight...very sad
-
I was never actually told I had this by a doctor but it was pretty obvious if you looked. I never even thought it could be due to being overweight....

Food Stuck In My Lap Band? What Does It Feel Like?
Dawn200321 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have never had food get stuck before. I think it happend last night. I was eating fast (out of habit, working on that) and I started to feel pressure in my chest. It felt like I had to throw up. So I got up and walked around for a few minutes and then after that it seemed to stop. I think the food was stuck and instead of throwing up it just passed through? Yes? or was it something else? -

It all depends on your insurance plan. I have Aetna and they paid 85 percent. It also makes a difference if your deductable is paid at the time of surgery or not. The best way to know for sure is to contact Aetna directly and ask the customer service rep. They are usually pretty good at finding out what you will need to know

How To Mentally Start Over?
Dawn200321 replied to JinTx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know exactly how you feel. I had to have my band unfilled totally due to needing my gallbladder out. Since then its been a nightmare. I drink soda and been eating sweets and eating all kinds of crap. I think the best thing to do for us to get back into it is just to jump back in. I got my band refilled today and I am so ready! I wanna start losing weight again! -
I just got one a few weeks ago as my birtday present. So far I really like it. It comes with me where ever I go and at the end of the night I just just plug it in and it uploads the info to the website. Very user friendly! I also have synced myfitnesspal.com to fitbit.com! I love that feature
