Are ER And Other Specialists Prepared To Handle Lapband Emergencies?
#MagicWithinme replied to NoMoBand's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
that's aweful for medical staff to say stuff like that, they don't realize many times how their words affect patients, you have to be your own health advocate, and you can complain, they could of said it in a different way. contact hospital compliance officer. this is the person that makes sure everything is being done to standards. -
How Much Weight Can You Really Loose With The Lap Band?
#MagicWithinme replied to dv817's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree it's all about the dedication you put into working with the lapband. Once you have it the weight isn''t going to just fall off, it's learning and sticking to new eating habits, exercise, better food choices. There will be good days and bad.. its a lifelong journey, one you need to be prepared to make. I have had my band in since january and still don't have a fill and still losing weight., everyone is different, don't every compare yourself to anyone else. Good Luck -
(sigh) best half of the half of fresh burger and garlic fries, ,, smiling inside and out!

Lunch with hubby, abondiga stew (meatball) hmmmm so good. mostly drank the broth, just what I needed!

EEgads, who knew 1/2 cup of skim milk could do so much damage, my problem is no longer constipation!

I know I had looked at that with my insurance before, unless it's medically neede (the removal) it would be out of pocket for me if I wanted to have it removed. There's days I do and then theres days I'm happy with my weight loss. Hubby said we'll see in a year how things are, who know's in ayear I won't even think about it anymore. good luck!

I understand and have been where you are at, and it was hurtful at first, but then after dwelling on it, and looking at the problem, I figured out sometimes people treat us a certain way because that's how we treat ourselves. Don't worry about them, if you are feeling good about yourself stay feeling good, let it show!

Wow, I got banded in January 2012 too, I have had opportunities to get fills but in agreement with hubby who has been my rock we have opted not to get any fills yet. Losing the weight I have lost has been all me (with help from the lapband of course!) I get chest pains when I eat too fast or too big of bites. Not understanding, though, it said you had lapband removed, but you are going to have fill removed? so you still have it? I'd be interested in knowing what you find out, thank you!

don't let no one make you feel guilty, or that you made the wrong choice, we are the only ones that know what we feel, our health. -
