    Revision

    I am doing well Have had a revision to my lapband amd hiatal hernia I'm back on the wagon:)
  6. Got really dehydrated...food not staying down fluids either Had 3 bags of fluids yesterday. I'm 5"5' down to 113 lbs about passed out at Drs office I'm feeling much better but get worn out easy. Waiting for ins to approve revision I am hoping I get approval by Nov 13 they have me on the Roster.... Anyone been in my place? How long did u take off after? I feel really stupid!
  7. Thanks appreciate the concern. I go back to work tomorrow I still get a little tired...but I can eat and drink Go back to Dr on December 22 but not sure I'll née a fill that soon... I am back up to 135 lbs which is where Dr wants me. Not sure how much is real weight. But I will take it.

    Revision

    Well band slipped....again. Not sure how he fixed it but he pulled the slip where it needs to go and sutured it. Hopefully a slip won't happen again At 5'5" and 113 lbs was a problem....combined with being very dehydrated at not being able to keep anything down and about passing out at Dr's office....
  9. I have had surgery last Thursday Feeling sooo much better... I also had a hiatal hernia that caused my god awful heartburn and acid reflux
  10. Dr told me to not use straws but I'm just more comfortable using a straw as opposed to sipping. He said u get more air using a straw. Anybody else prefer straws to sipping....
  11. Dr thinks I shouldn't have any problems with approval It's a revision not putting in a band I just lost so much weight cause I waited too long to call dr
  12. I've had it for 2.5 yrs 2nd time it slipped Wasn't able to keep anything down I'm thinking he's gonna fix the slip and suture it After surgery dr will explain what he's done sometimes he does it before

    Drink with straws....

    I have not heard of this before but it looks like it would work like a straw.... Sounds like a good idea. I will have to talk to my dr about it.
  14. Hope it's not a slipped band again...last time he took saline out and it went back. What happens after it slips twice surgery or do they take saline out again. Any advice would be good Thank u

    Rice cooker steamer

    I can tolerate rice u can also make other grains too I can make rice pretty good but the other grains not so much... I Had a rice cooker steamer about 15 yrs ago and did well with it. I still have it unfortunately it no longer works properly. I also want one I can delay cook times that would be awesome bc I work till 7 sometimes 8 at night. It would be super when I came home wouldn't have to cook.
