Just ignore her. I'm sure she was just as rude to her sister. Probably her personality ( or lack thereof).

I went back to weight watchers about 6 weeks before surgery, which was 4 weeks befor the pre-op diet and it helped me "de-tox" before going on the stringent liquid diet- lost some weight pre-op and I was glad I did this. I still go actually to help me stay accountable to the scale. I alos dring at least 64 oz of water and log every bite of food that goes in my mouth.

As a RN and Nurse Practitioner myself, I find your comments offensive. How do you know the RN hasn't been there and done that like me? My surgeon's nurse has had a gastric bypass. You are making a lot of assumptions about college-educated medical professionals based on little information. The OP said she wanted to wait 2 weeks for whatever reason-that hardly makes her a "stupid ass" who "doesn't know wtf their talking about."

My stats are below also. I had no restriction til the first fill. Then I got 2.6 cc but that wore off in about a week. Got 3 more cc at 2nd fill last week and I honestly thought it was a bit overfilled, but it has calmed down now and I am having to take small bites and chew well really for the first time in this process. I got stuck 2-3 times last week. It has been a real learning experience, but if I chew well, I am quite full with 1/2-1 cup of food for at least 4 hours and I am losing well. Hope I am in or near the green zone. You are on your own with willpower til you get restriction.

Getting a tummy tuck!

Awesome! Can't wait til I am in onederland.

Awesome! Way to go!

Welcome! You will find a lot of support here. Good luck to you.

Best of luck to you! What an exciting day! It will be easier than you thnk.

Ashiashley- PB stands for productive burping, which feels different from vomiting. For some people food comes up but I have only experienced it as slime. Basically, your food gets stuck and your body works overtime to move it out by producing thick clear saliva in your stomach and mouth. I have a runny nose too. It is very uncomfortable and there is no relief til it comes up. This never happened to me til I got my 1st fill then I got stuck on some dry chicken and it took about 10 min to work it out. Since my 2nd fill, it is much easier to get stuck and I have been stuck twice with the same slimy result. Luckily, I have never truly vomited with the band. It will teach you to respect the band quickly. Chewing well and small bites are the key.

That is awesome. I bet it was more fun than ever before.

Mine went away mostly on day 9 post-op, then completly by Day 10. Seems like it got worse before it got better there at the end. Heating pad was my best friend.

Mine is just under the sternum- my surgeon says easier to access, less likely to flip. I do have to say that the 1st fill was a breeze to me because of that.

Way to go! Good for you.
