I don't mean this offensively' date=' but you are reading completely incorrect information. The Lap Band doesn't cause dumping because our stomachs are fully intact and our intestines aren't rerouted. Dumping is common with Gastric Bypass because the intestines are rerouted, resulting in the rapid passage of undigested food into them. This isn't the case with the band and it's not a side effect of the band.

Perhaps you're confusing Gastric Bypass with Gastric Banding, I d on't know, but whatever you're reading is completely incorrect.[/quote']

That's funny because my surgeon just called mE back and yes you can get dumping with the lapband and he said that's exactly what I had happen

Sounds like something I wouldn't play around with. Call your surgeon or WLC asap.

I'm feeling better today just kind of worn out. I have an appointment Tuesday and I'll be talking to her about what happened for sure because I keep reading that 80 percent of banded people can get dumping syndrome and all my symptoms were dumping symptoms

Not standing up for anyone just sayin what I see don't allow others you don't know or who do not know you get under your skin it's the internet who cares what others think I definitely don't! Little do they know I could be a beautiful famous super model they have no clue who I am and again I do not care!

Just ignore it and go on your way. Pretty.sure there's an option to block certain members

Fyi maddysgram your not even banded so pretty sure she knows more about the band than you do even though she's a newbie on the forum! How can you give advice to people when you haven't been thru it????

Keep posting away and you'll be a master here soon to

It means she is a forum master because she posts constantly and has nothing better to do then start problems which in turn makes her feel better about her self!

Fyi I've been drinking thru a straw since the.mine I got out of surgery they gave me a straw with Water and my Dr said it was fine.. I was started on mush food 7 days part OP solids at three weeks I haven't been hungry once since surgery I still have troubles eating and I'm almost a month post OP first fill is Tuesday.. Everyone has questions and would rather get answers from people who have been thru the surgery it didn't make anyone less or more.. Oh and the band masters just means they have more time to sit on there asses responding than others Get off the computer and Get in the gym just maybe you'll be a successful bander

Thanks ladies! The picture doesn't do the dress justice! It's so pretty!

I'm 5'5"... My goal is 150' date=' though my dr said realistically its like 170ish, But that 150 is possible if I take up a sport or running. Congrats, u r doing awesome![/quote']

Ooh you could totally do 150 if not less being 5'5 girly

You'll be fine with a glass or two of wine.. My Dr said six weeks no alcohol while my tummy heals..

The benadryl cream worked better. But still irritated. Gonna call doc. Tomorrow

I was itchy for a few weeks after surgery. R you still taking the pain meds because a side effect of opiate pain medications is itchy skin

Sooooo I was banded July 2 and I've lost 49 pounds. So about 2 years ago' date=' I bought this beautiful dress and it totally didn't fit! Way too small but I loved it so much that I wanted to buy it anyway!

Soooooo when I was banded, I made two short term goals: get under 250 (started at 297) and where that that dress for a night out with my husband on our 2nd anniversary sept 19! I hadn't not gone under 250 in many many years and I figured by that weight, the dress would fit.

Well.... I weighed in at 249 and wore the dress out for our anniversary! It felt soooooooo good!! I'm only 1/3 of the way to my final goal...but these little accomplishments help push me along! Praise God!

I'm attaching a pic of me in the dress before going out!

Beautiful and congrats... How tall are you? Whats your goal? I'm 5 10 started at 293 & this morning I Was 251 banded August 28 my goal is 160 maybe 150

Thing is I've had ice cream.a few times since being banded and never got this. Could it happen all of a sudden? It was scarey I literally thought I was having a heart attack.

Last night about an hour after eating that I got severe like the worst possible I've ever felt stomach pains.and intestinal cramping, sweating, my heart was racing, I could heart my heart beat in my ears , felt nascious, dizzy light headed shakey I literally felt the worst I've ever felt I'm my entire life it lasted a few hours if it's not dumping than what could it be????

Why am I reading ever where that you can get it from lapband and the symptoms I had last night were exactly that of dumping after I had a few bites of ice cream and my sisters birthday party..

What are the signs?

You got banded 2 days before I did ... I was told that you don't get a full until 6 weeks post op your bit supposed to be eatting regular food right now you should be at stage 3 which is purée foods .. Which Is thicker consistency than liquids .. Theres nothing in ur band and the swelling is going down from surery which is why u feel more hungry ... Doesn't your doctor tell u this stuff ? Just courious as to why ur already calling for a fill ? When u still need to get to stage 4 soft foods and stage 5 regular textured foods ?

Every Dr is different I was on solids three weeks post OP even though i don't eat much and usually stay with softer food and with my first fill at exactly four weeks.. I say follow your drs plan and you'll do great!

I started taking Biotin 10000 mcg two weeks post OP along with my multi, B12 drops because Hair loss is my biggest fear as I do hair I also use a high quality Shampoo and conditioner and attempt getting 90 grams of Protein a day from my Protein Shakes fingers crossed I don't get the hair loss...
