So when you all work out do you dehydrate too fast and poop out?
-
this worries me more than the extremely slow eating and I am currently a speed eater by nature. I drink 100 ounces per day routinely and 1/2 hour to drink 6oz w/o pain, WOW.

So @ 2 months to 1 year out, how much Fluid can you swallow at 1 time. At 1st it seems that at 1st you are down to very small sips at one time drinking often. So after the swelling is gone are you able to say swallow a mouth full of Water without it hurting. Also can you drink say 4-8 ozs at a time?

cool! We never use steristrips when we use dermabond. But the skin is sutured subQ.

Sorry to hear is it draining? Does it look infected?

Whenin real doubt wait it out. Your mind will need to be prepared for the challenge this appears to be. Even then It will stll be gard at first. Good Luck with your decision.

no steri strips are needed with the skin glue.

During your search for answers did any of you ask about things such as, Gastrin, Pepsin, intrinsic factor, and enzymatic production, and all the other stuff the stomach makes that is important to over all health. Because stomach acid only opens or unfolds Proteins and allows enzymes to break them down. Also the parts of the stomach where vit B is absorbed is mostly removed? What did you find out as in what did your surgeon say?
Thanks

how do you change your screen name? Just take it one day at a time and you will be fine! But thats easy for me to say at this point.

you sound similar to many on the forum and give me doubts. But I bet in a week or 2 you will be happy you made the choice you did and I wishh you good luck.

I only know 2-3 people with the lap-band and they are regretting it and no weight lose. They have a 25+% failure rate.

I'm getting closer and I wonder constantly. I wonder why not just follow the diet that sleevers do? Why not Follw the diet and continue to exercise. there are other ways to change your life without surgery. Phentermine and hcg and a 500-800 calorie diet or medi-fast plan with a gym membership will do the samething this surgery will. So why not do these? This is what I ask everyday. I also exercise 1 hour 5-6 times a week. I also don't want to give up alot of the foods I love! Its a hard decision and there is no putting the stomach back in. I am also tired of being overweight and worrying about the comorbidities that come with being overweight as well as the prejudices of being overweight. So what to do. Pray about it and ask for peace and guidance! Good luck and God bless!

Just follow your doctors orders and let them know or go to the ER if you feel different as in breathing etc... You will be fine! Prayers sent up for you!

Yep Fat is a man killer in more ways than one!

Everything you eat is broken down into sugars for use by the body. Glucose. The body is built to handle almost anything in moderation.
