  1. 4Th Fill

    · shadowstacey · 03/19/12 10:04 PM

    4th fill tomorrow, I'm hoping and praying that this finally gives me restriction because my
    will power is swaying alot lately and dont wanna go back too my old ways.
     
     
    PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ let it work finally!
  2. The group that put my band in provide a dietician with the package. And they refuse to put in
    a fill if the dietician doesnt sign off on what im eating. But the thing is they only want me to eat
    all crunchy food... ALLL DAY LONG!!! like shreddies, rivita crackers and barely cooked veg.
    They are all fine but it doesnt exactly give me room to love normally.
     
    If i knew that this was a condition of the band and that it would not give me restriction with
    normal food before I got the surgery I would not of went ahead with it. I find myself lying to the
    dietician just so they allow me to get my next fill.
     
    So discouraged and regreeting the money spent on the band at this point.

  3. Alcohol Issues

    · shadowstacey · 02/13/12 02:23 PM

    Hi everyone!
     
    Im 23 years old and ive been banded since november.... I hadnt really drank since then but as I am in college I had a few nights over the last few weeks out... I notice myself not been able to handle to much alcohol anymore and had a weird experience the last nite...
    I had barely drank and then had a black spell where my friends said it was like I was out of it on drugs... I dont take drugs and I was in a friends house so wasnt spiked... I find this stressing as I used to be able to drink all night and never ever have a black spell that I couldnt remember.
     
     
     
    Has anyone elde had bad experiences with drink after been banded?
     
    Thanks

  6. Hiatus Hernia

    · shadowstacey · 01/04/12 09:15 PM

    Hi guys..
     
    During my surgery the surgeon found and repaired a Hiatus Hernia. I was wondering did this happen
    anyone else and did they get any advice on what this is and food to avoid?
     
    Thanks

  8. Burping!

    · shadowstacey · 01/04/12 12:23 AM

    Hi everyone...
     
    Ive had lapband surgery on November 12th and ever since then even though I do not drink any fizzy drinks, only water I find I burp all the time.... I never used and sometimes it hurts.
     
    Anyone else experience this?
     
    Thank You

  9. These last few days since i had my surgery are the first few positive days ive had.. Ive begun my own diet that caters to my likes but is still 10 times less then what i used eat. I started the gym now coz the doc said im fit and ready to go and feels fantastic after it. I even went for walk on the beach with my new puppy. I have so much energy i dont no what to do with it. I still have no restriction but i know now that when i do I will be mentally and physically able to handle the dip in food. It feels good to finally feel proud of myself.
