  4. Mine is ok with it, i have tried it a couple of times but every time I drink carbonated drinks I hurt like if I was having a bad stuck episode. I heard it could cause stretched pouch and even a slip! So carbonation is no longer in my life I rather stay away. It's not worth it! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

  7. Try to stay hydrated and call your doctor. He might be able to call a prescription in for the nausea and vomit. Vomiting can cause band slips so be very careful. Once you start to feel better, introduce solids little by little. Hope you feel better soon!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

  9. Hey guys my scale is playing games with me and I'm in search for a new (good) one. Any suggestions? I have a weight watchers scale that I bought about a year ago, but it's not working properly. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  10. I really hope you are not doing Zumba 6 times a day!! Lol.. Typo? If you are, I think you are over doing it! Lol.. You are still healing inside. Give it some time if it continues to hurt or gets worse call your dr. You might have pulled something!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  11. You look GREAT!!! It's amazing how loosing weight changes the way we look. You look so much younger! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  12. I chop my celery very very tiny and I don't have a problem with it. I think that as long as the pieces are small you should be ok! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  13. I was banded in may and I remember the headaches they lasted about 3 or 4 days but eventually they went away!! Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  14. Well just wait an see who keeps it off!! I speak from my personal experience I tried many ways of weight loss and a lot of them worked but in the end the weight came back plus more! So far with the band what I have lost is still lost and I'm hoping its forever!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  15. It sounds like you need a fill. Just try to hang in there until you are able to see your doctor. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  16. I think 21lbs is absolutely great weight loss!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  17. The best advise I can give you for the gas pain is walking as much as possible! It may be very uncomfortable but it's the only thing that really works I tried it all!! Gas x, pineapple juice, peppermint tea. But nothing worked just walk walk and walk!! Oh and take your meds!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  18. Good luck!!!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  19. I wouldn't worry about that I only lost 7lbs and I was on the liquid diet for 3 weeks before surgery! My doctor said my body was in shock and was hanging in to the fat in other words it was in starvation mode! I'm my case I thought I was going to lose the weight very quickly but no I'm not that lucky! But hey any loss is better that no loss! Hand in there and good luck!!

  20. I think you should call and make sure just in case because my drs office only makes fills on Mondays and they take a while to get me in because they have a lot of patients. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  21. I don't think you have anything to worry about, I have bcbs and I had a 10lbs gain during the nutritionist visits and they approved me right away. No questions asked! I didn't even finish the 6 months visits they approved me with only 4!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  22. I would love to know that myself! I can't have any kind of bread toasted or not I haven't had a sandwich in months! If you find a good one please let me know! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  23. I have the anthem ppo by BCBS of Il and when the dr. Submitted they said they no longer required the six month nutritionist consult but that did require the phycological evaluation. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
  24. I also have BCBS of IL and it took them less than a week to approve me! I have no comorbilities so I thought they would deny me but thank god I was approved.. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
