No. Sorry but if you have any other docs talk with them tell them what u want to do and why get the support and have them recommend a doc to you. It makes things go so much smoother when that relationship is there with them and you and between the doctors. My cardiologist was extremely supportive and he made this happen for me

Have u tried protein shakes as meal replacements? Have u tried water activities to remove some of the pressure? Talk with the docs and check out the local YMCA even if your moving slow just keep moving. Good luck

Congrats! Your day is coming! We will be here to listen and help. Best wishes

Do all you can to stick to it so your surgery isn't cancelled. You want to be as safe as possibly you have to do this! Hang in there! Best wishes

Congrats!

I get a flu shoot every year. I wash my hands a lot not for the band I always did and I keep hand sanitizer. I got sick and kept puking i could not even sip water i puked i finally called the doc i met him at the hospital and he let some fluid out he said i would have continued to puke the band was irritated do all you can to protect yourself. Good luck!

The snacking really gets me. Sweets if I start that it takes a few weeks to get the cravings to go away. It's not easy, but try to cut out or down on snacking or choose fruit and nuts (raw). Best wishes!

I will have a drink on special occasions. I don't drink often because I never have, but if I go out I will have a cocktail. Just remember your drinking calories and I would much rather eat them! Happy Soon to be B Day!!!! I was pregnant on my 21st so no drinking and I survived!

Congrats! That is so awesome!!

My doc requires a multi and a vitamin D

Loss is loss, you didn't gain celebrate that. Keep it Up!

I went thru the same thing. I got lucky tho my cardiologist (his buddy) called him and the next thing I know I had my letter. Make sure you have your medical files transferred so the new doc has your history. Good luck

This was the worse part for me I tried to scratch "around" the incisions I had scratches all over my poor belly. Hang in there!

Lol! That's too cute!!

Congrats! Best wishes

If a doctor can be paid to make Joan rivers look like she does (a crime) then Jessica can pay to have a lap band and dont need a doctors permission I think this is false.

Hang in there it gets better! Make sure u get up to walk around! Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats!

I too know people who have had gastric bypass and re-gained. I know people who have had it and been successful. Your really the only one who can control your outcome no matter which road you choose. Good luck!

Best wishes! Make sure your ready for this if you go thru with the surgery! Good luck

Find some really good shakes you like. Can you mix them with milk? The extra calories in milk really help me. You can do it, best wishes!

Woohoo!!!!!! Awesome. Go practice in the grass, I bet u can!

Good advice! Your doc seems really caring! Best wishes!
