  1. Im on day four n also have those pains. I think its stuck gas
  2. I actually have depression n have been on medication for awhile now so im not having any issues with that. I hope u start to feel better. My doc said i have to have water diet snapple crystal light or sf popsicles for 5 days, then on monday i can have three protein drinks a day n water, so i really dont start any food for almost three weeks
  3. Thank you. It wasnt really that bad at all! kinda feels a like when you exercise ur abs the day after but more intense. I only have three incisions and was walking really quick. The cc's r how much saline is put in the bag. My band is a 10cc band n i have 6 already so im hoping it will be easier to adjust to. Good luck on ur surgery! it will be here before u know it
  4. I am home and doing fine. I pretty sure i heard them say i had 6cc in already! Drinking walking and i still cant believe its done...hope all the others that was going today did well!
  5. Good luck! Im tomorrow as well...i cant wait!
  6. Good luck to u! im on the 18th!

  9. Thanks! my surgery was for april 18th but now i have to have a repeat egd on may 25th so i will have to wait till after that...taking the extra month to get a head start on my weight loss! might as well turn something neg to something positive
  10. Well my ins approved me in about 9 days...im sooo excited, got my medical clearance from my pcp...just waiting for this ulcer to heal!
  11. So did u have ur lapband already? so far it looks like only one ulcer close to the small intestine. They sent out a biopsy to make sure its not cancerous
  12. Hi all...im new here n i found this to be a great site. So after a week and a half of waiting for insurance approval, i find out on the same day that i have a stomach ulcer...womp womp...(i say stressing from waiting for the approval gave me the ulcer) lol..anyway i was wondering if anyone had this issue and if you were still able to get the band. Oh and my surgery date was set for april 18th
  13. Congrats! I also found out i was approved with a surgery date of april 18. But my newest problem is i had an edg done today and they found an ulcer. I hope this doesnt mean that i cant get the lapband done
