Tall bandsters
Is anybody else confused by lane bryants new sizing? According to the girl who measured me I wear a size one there. Does anybody know what size that would be in a "normal size"? I'm also 6' tall and need a long inseam (about 36-38)

Hi Jill, I also have IHC and my band was not covered, I had to self-pay. Good luck with your appointment.

I got my second fill today. I hope it lasts longer than the first one did. The water (saline I guess) dissappeared out of it. I had 1.5 cc. for the first fill but the nurse said there was only .08 left in it. Now I have 2 cc. in a 4 cc band.

What's in a Name
Hi, my name is Rebecca. Rubylyn is a nickname my dad gave me because when I was a little girl I had red hair (it turned blonde when I got older) and Lyn is my middle name. My dad passed away 4 years ago so that nickname is even more special to me now.

is there no one else here from Utah??
From what I've heard Dr. Mckeen is the only doctor in Utah that will do fills on patients who had their surgeries in Mexico.

Golf ball in my chest!!
Thanks for posting this jammy. I felt the same thing when I started mushies last night. I was getting worried. I feel better knowing other people have felt this and its pretty common.

healthny.... I was banded on monday 5/14. I have the same dull ache that you are describing. I talked to my doctor today, he said its from a swollen esophagus and diaphram. Mine kind of feels tight when I take a deep breath and I keep getting the hic-ups rather I'm drinking or not. He said its all normal and should start feeling better as the swelling goes down and your body adjusts to having the band squeezing against it. I hope that helps and you feel better soon. I know what your going through.

I was also banded yesterday. Everything went well. I arrived at the surgical center at about 10:30 a.m. and was leaving by about 3:00 p.m I also feel pretty good but I also feel like i've done about 2000 sit ups or Like I was in a pretty bad fist fight and I got the band end of the deal. The gas was pretty bad last night. I kept feeling like I needed to burp but it wouldn't come out, I also had a hard time taking deep breaths. Today is alot better though. The gas is pretty much gone. (I used gas-x strips and walked alot) I've had to sneeze a few times.....wow that doen't feel too good when that happens. - May 2007 Banders
