what is barium swallow and how is this done?.

GIRLS, Do you have to have an unfill to shrink your your pouch and how do you know if you have a stretched pouch. Last question is I keep seeing someone getting a BARIONIUM SALLOW TO SE THIS. What

when the fluid back up did u pb, slime or have reflux?

will the Esophageal stacking shrink back like a strecthed pouch if u go on liquids for a few days?

How do u know if you got Esophageal stacking or not any symptons?

Thanks Tom I needed my ass chewED out and your right 100% WHY GO THROUGH WITH IT IF YOURE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW THE RULES. AMEN

SUE, So that would fall under defective tubing, port not youre fault the lab band leaked, free of charge I AM SURE RIGHT. So at least it was good for 104 lbs not bad at all. I had mine done same time as you and you really surpassed me. What kind of band did you get at that time?

QUESTIONS FOR YOU EXPERIENCED BIKERS Why does my wrist and hands feel like thier tingling after 35 minutes of riding are they to low, not adjusted,or just got to get use to it? thanks

Sue, you think you have a leak or a stretcheed pouch getting alot of food down without restriction? I have the same problem but the doctor check my cc levels and had the same amount in there 10cc.

Have not seen anything on realize band but my vg band can hold up to 11cc account the tubing holds some of the saline in it. I also have 9 to 10cc in it have very little restriction but my main problem is drink when eating and it flushes food right through the band and i sometime cheat the band example i have a hard time eating bread, toast, cake, donuts ect.. So i dunk them in milk to make them soagie and they go down easy but i get on a sugar craving binge and go nuts any suggestion on how to avoid a sugar binge, anyone got a suggestion,thanks

WHAT IS THE realized band. I have a vg band suppoose to hold more cc:s

SIX MONTHS PRE OP DIet seems a little long. I was on a two week pre-op diet before surgey. you will be just fine I was the biggest baby scared and everything went just fine. This forum help me out alot and the people here are great with advice and their experiences will help you too!!!

KCINTX, how many grams of carbs do you eat a day then, 20 grams to 30 grams or none at all

What benefits would you get by doing ab workouts although you say it wont burn the fat? just wondering if I AM WASTING MY TIME THANKS!!

Strom from your pics you dont look like your doing bad at all actually u look great. But how much exercsing have u been doing and how many times a week? Have you been fooling the band? have you been eating soft foods high in carbs? Lets hear what you r doctor recommend interested because I think where in the same boat.

How many family members have you losted in the war? kids brothers ect.. for what reason did they die. I am a democrat Bush has screwed this country up just like reagan did in the 80;s his trickle down theory.so send some 18 year old over thie to die for a country that hate americans. thats what I WOULD DO IF IWERE A REPUBLICAN.

OAKY I have been looking for a plateau buster I will try this out. I have been banded for a 14 months no complications at all but have found a way to fool the band while eating. I could not eat any bread, cake ect.. at first. But then after a short while about four or five months of PBING I figured out to dip my toast in coffee or my cake in milk and it would right down and could eat as much as I wanted. starting weight 342 weight now 280 to 292 back in forth I do workout some try to go on 3 to4 miles runs/walks. have got about 9cc in vg band. biggest problem DRINKING WHILE EATING I KNOW ITS WRONG any ideas on this drinking while eating? thanks in advacned for your reply..

Let me ask just one dum question been banded since may 2007, when u have a leaking band or tubing leaking does all the fluid leak out of the tube or just a small portion of the fill or does it depend on where the hole or leak is? I still feel some restriction when eating to fast. But when the doctor gives me a fill he will with draw all the fluid out to see how many cc I have in me then refiill the band but when doing this somethimes or the last time he could not suck all the fluid out and he said because he thinks he collaspe the tubing when he try to suck out the fluid with a needle . so he couldn't tell me for sure how many cc i had in me but the chart shows I think 8 or 9cc I HAVE THE VG BAND. I ask him if I had a leak he said I dont think so but just put one half of a cc and had been putting 1cc. I had gain a little weight but it was over the Holidays one or two lbs. Been stuck at same weight for three months. exercise 4 to 5 times week is only reason i dont gain a ton of weight back.
