  1. Since my surgery (4/30/12), my gag reflex has been awful. I can't brush my tongue without gagging &/or vomiting. How long will this last?

    Gag Reflex

    No I did not. I've always been able to brush my tongue, but now it's not an option. I just pray this doesn't last forever; brushing my tongue is routine.
  5. I had my band revision surgery on 4/30/12. I've been eating and drinking; my eyes aren't showing any indication of jaundice, but my urine is still too dark. I was thinking maybe the meds is the cause of the urine color. I don't want to be hospitalized for dehydration, etc...Looking for help/suggestions.

    From Band To Sleeve

    Thanks Hirnsandy. Your story sounds pretty much like mine. The band worked in the beginning, then it 'stopped' working and I gained back half of the weight I lost. Thanks for the encouragement. :-)

    From Band To Sleeve

    Thanks soooo much for the tips. I had success with the band in the beginning, but I herniated twice and at some point the band just stopped working, so my Dr. recommended getting the band removed & getting the 'sleeve'. Sounds like you're happy with your decision and I'm sure I will too. Thanks again for the tips :-)
