Ok guys who I need to find a doctor in the Columbus Ga area. I will be moving there next month. Any one have any ideas??

surgery.....

Ok for the past 2 days every time I eat I get really bad cramps then starts the diarrhea... and I mean within minutes of eating my stomach is hurting and the saga begins... Is this dumping syndrome???? Or how long should I monitor before calling my doctor.. I had a revision surgery on the 26th of June for a flipped port prior to that I had no issues. On the flip side I have lost 3 pounds in 2 days because of these symptoms... HELP anyone else have this problem....And I only have 3 cc in a 10 cc band so I know this is not the problem. I also do not have any nausea or vomiting...

Hey guys had my flipped port fixed on the 26th so far so good.. no real pain..... hope every one is doing great.... ready to get back to working out but, I have to wait until my doc advises...

It doesn't feel any different... Didn't even know till I went to my appointment...

Flipped port.... this suxxx... banded march 5th went in today for a fill and they were not able to access the port... after floroscopy confirmed thd port is flipped and i need a second surgery...... uugghhh why me?? Does any one know why this happens?? Has anyone else had this happen to them??

So I am at the dr for a fill & just my luck a possible flipped port... Uuugghhhh... Waiting on radiology to confirmar....

Ok I know everyone is different as well as our docs but I was banded 3/5/12 and only have 3cc's in my band. I am hungry about every 2-3 hours and my doc says only 0.5cc from here on.....seems like every one else is at 5-6cc's that was banded around the same time. Weight is starting to stand still and I am hungry all the time which causes me to make bad food choics.....HELP.....

Good advice sunshyne068.... started back working out and weighing my food so hopefully this will get me on track.. If this fails I will take your advice for a few days... thx

HELP... BEEN DOING TERRIBLE THESE LAST FEW DAYS.... SO FAR AT EVERY APPOINTMENT I HAVE LOST 5-6 pounds but I guess I have hit bandster hell I am hungry all the time now since my last fill on May 3rd I would think I would have been better after a fill but not so much..... starting tomorrow I am going to kick this back in to gear before I become the lap band failure....... :ph34r:

Had my second fill on Thurday may 3rd... can't really feel a difference yet but all is good....

I was banded on march 5th and had my first fill on April 5th.... Looks like we are as close to banded buddies as we can get.. LOL you are doing great with weight loss any pointers?? I am only down 27 not saying that's bad but u are doing great!

Ok March band buddies... I am 8 weeks out today and down 27 pounds and down from a pants size 16-18 a 14!!!! yayyy pretty soon I won't have to shop at Lane Bryant anymore!!! Go for my next fill on May 3rd and I am excited currently on 2cc's in my 10cc band..... 15 more pounds to go to be at my second goal of under 200 pounds... haven't been there since 2001 so super duper excited

AMEN ...... VERY INFORMATIVE....

So I was banded on March 5th 2012 at a size 18/20. Well on Sunday I tore a tag off of a 14/16 dress for church and YEP it was TOO BIG..... YAAYYYYY. Now I have only lost 24 pounds which does not seem like a lot to me, but I am happy with my success so far. I am only 7 weeks out and down in sizes so hay... I guess that is my first NSV..... its the small things that count and keep you motivated and I am ecstatic I still have 58 pounds to go and I am ready for the remainder of my journey and to get to where I want to be....... Loving my lap band....
