  1. 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
  2. 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!
  3. Just ignore it and go on your way. Pretty.sure there's an option to block certain members
  4. 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????
  5. Keep posting away and you'll be a master here soon to
  6. 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!
  7. 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
  8. I changed my name does that make me fake? It's the internet who cares what others do you don't know these people personally..

  10. You'll be fine with a glass or two of wine.. My Dr said six weeks no alcohol while my tummy heals..
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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????
  14. 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..
  15. What are the signs?
  16. 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!
  17. 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...
