Crazy Question For Women Bandsters....
My boobs sit fine with the bra now without the bra...LOL. That's why I want new boobs when I lose all my weight!! My port is to the left and below my xepoid process, the point on the bottom of your sternum. I think when I sit more bent over, my underwire is hitting scar tissue.

Psych N Nutritionist Appt...
I didn't have a nutrition test, just a consult. The psych consult was ok. They basically make sure you do.t suffer from depression, you are doing this for the right reasons. They asked me if I ever used drugs or alcohol? If there were alcoholics in my family? Did I have a happy childhood? Then the computerized test was a hoot! Do I hear voices? If so do I do what they say? Do I believe in God? Do I base my routing on what God tells me? They ask you the same question a million different ways. Don't go in nervous, its really easy!

How Many Days Of Work Did You Miss after Lap band Surgery?
I had my sx Oct 28th and I was out 6 wks cause I am a CNA and I move veteran's and some are 300 lbs plus. I went back and strained moved a stroke victim and felt something pull. So I'm on PRN, secretly hoping to find a different job. I love working with my veteran's, but I'm.not going to hurt myself.

Crazy Question For Women Bandsters....
I have a crazy question. Do any of the female banders that wear underwire bras have tenderness from your bra? I dont know how to explain it, but I feel like if i wear my bra too long, I have tenderness on my left side near my port site. When I don't wear it as long, I don't. Maybe I'm sitting wrong or something, but i hate the thought of giving up my underwire support!! Thanks yall, Have Very Merry Christmas!!

Craving Salads???
I did eat a mixed greens salad and it went well! I have even ate small tomatoes and it was ok. Chewed the heck out of them and I was good. I am a tomatoe girl, my mama had to hide them when I was a baby or I would cry for them. The only problem I have had is reheated food. It got stuck and I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital!! Learned my lesson.

hiatal hernia repair and lapband on Sept 20th...
I got gas pains if I drank my shake too fast. I used and still do use Gas X. I had a band/Hernia repair too.

Back Pain?
I had it too after I was banded, it was gas pressure. I got Gas X strips and might have to use 2 at a time or back to back, but they relieved my back pain so much! Also, I was sleeping sitting up, that caused me some back pain, I had to take Tylenol and it relieved the pain some. Hope you feel better.

Too Big Or Too Small
I was told at Thanksgiving that I could have a few pieces of turkey, so I ate the dark meat. I have come to realize, that dark meat pulverizes easier in your mouth. Try that, you may also be able to eat the chicken and tuna salad b/c it is "wet" from low fat mayo. I Googled slider food and read that when something has low fat mayo or dressing it slides through better. Good luck with trying new foods!

Port Infection/removal
