Flying After Surgery
I am a flight attendant and was back to full duty flying at 10 days post op. Pushing/pulling cart's that are 100's lbs. 3-4 take off landings a day, opening and closing aircraft doors that are hundreds of pounds. It's fine. Period.

Lapband Changing My Life
I could have driven my own self home if allowed. You won't need help there. It's not complicated. Not as complicated as your relationship, and you might have your OWN new outlook on that after you start losing weight and gaining back your confidence.

Houston Docs
Do not use Bay Choice for your LB procedure. Although Dr Hollis is a wonderful doctor, the NP will make your life a living hell. The disorganization by her to the point of causing me trouble at work due to inefficiencies from paperwork is a common theme here. Just browse the internet. Her name is Beth and she has a reputation that is beyond unsatisfactory. I have absolutely no idea how she remains employed. Save your sanity. I am back at the TR surgery center, where I am now very satisfied.

Went On A Cruise And Ate Dirt On A Atv. Flipped Over Landed On Port Side
I left my Dr. due to the nurse. SO now I need to contact True Results and see if I can get a new dr. I will NOT go back due to he on the staff, even though he is a fabulous Dr.

Went On A Cruise And Ate Dirt On A Atv. Flipped Over Landed On Port Side
ATV through the rain forest after a good rain, messed around too much and flipped it. I flipped ofer top and landed on my newly ported belly. Not too much pain, but I had band and hernia surgery almost 3 weeks to the day. Are the ports pretty tough, I mean can they take a good beating? I still feel it under the skin. What do I need to do to ensure i am in good shape.?

Tender Port Area - 3 Weeks Post Op
Haha! Not crazy silly. I remember one thing that was said, the pocket where the port is in women is shallower then men. nearer to the surface where it was places on you ad me. The incision is quite a bit to the left of the port. When I got my fill, I was surprised because it wasn't close to the incision. Since we have the same doc. I did overhear that ports are placed all over the place, just varies by doc.

I Need Diet Help Please!
Wow, I'm speechless (almost), that you can write all that and not see something very wrong there. You're gaining weight because you are coming off "speed" that you didn't need. If you were ADD you would not have had those side effects. It does the opposite to me. You should start with a therapist. I have gone to one for my weight issues. Therapist can recommend a good shrink to combat any other issues you might have, but step away from the pharmacist and a GP to treat mental issues, they are not supposed to prescribe ADD meds anyhow. This is why pharmacy's are always out. From abusive doctors ant patients.

I Need Diet Help Please!
This does not sound right. I am ADD, and took aderall prior to surgery (worried about it now as it is ER). It is an EXTREMELY difficult drug to get prescribed. You would have to been psychologically evaluated and diagnose which is rare as an adult. Unless your boss was getting it illegally for you. You should report him. And 60mg a day, haha. This doesn't add up. I think maybe a good therapist would be a better start.

How Soon After Surgery Can I Go Jet Skiing? (Realistically)
I also wondered about this very thing. My doc is chilled too. I didn't specifically ask about jet skiing, but the issue with infection, in their eyes is a non-issue after a week, even encouraging whirlpool to help gas pains. It has only been 3 weeks for me and I feel perfectly capable of jet-skiing. I am pretty proficient at it though and don't fall often.

Alcohol Two And A Half Weeks After Surgery?
I drank after about 2 weeks. Careful, it creeps up on you. All is well.
