I may be able to do Vegas just not around the Holidays.

Very pretty.

Try sugar free popsicles just a suggestion ,but yes call your Doctor & ask.

There's a bariatric pal meet & greet in April , that I am saving money for its on here I think in the bariatric news letter that Alex had posted , but I am so going to try & make this, it's in San Diego ,California.

2muchfun is pretty much right I had a small fill 2 weeks ago and I started feeling some more restriction about a week later , I now have so far 10 1/2 ccs in my 14 cc band , so give it time to settle & let's hope it's not to tight , but you know your body & journey , & I know mine , every one is different, & we all have had our issues , good luck.

I never had no staples , this is confusing to me because I never had staples , yes my Surgeon just did the stitches that dissolve , but when I went for x rays for something at my pcp's office can't remember what the X ray's were for but she said oh there's your band , but no mention of staples ever when my Surgeon does the fluro and barium we don't see them so why are they doing staples now , I can't remember anyone having staples , except for my Aunt because that's how they used to do wls they would staple your stomach , I had a few stitches and a few of the clear medical tape on them till they fell off by there selves.

Dancing , walking and laughing.

My band does not lie rods I try every once in a while I will take a tiny bite of some kind of starchy food but if it feels like it doesn't want to stay down so I don't eat any more and wheat bread has to be real toasted for me to even try, so I usually don't eat it, don't get e wrong I miss my sandwiches, tortillas , since I was a meat and potato's girl but since being banded there are jut some foods that my band says no way.

As I posted some where else on this wls site someone or people in general ask does wls work it does if you work with it & don't think it's a quick fix , just look at the Woman who posted this & I know of others who have done well.

You just need to subscribe to it & you can also check the side or maybe when the person who started the chapter meetings will send you a email ,but if you look above at the other posts then you will see when the next meetings are.

@@lisacaron Just beautiful all the way around , that was so neat of both your husband & you. HAPPY ANIVERSERY.

@@gowalking you look sooo good .

Yes there are certain meds that will make you gain weight , we have to be careful , I just had a minor surgery & it was with injections & I gained a few lbs in the week after but the weight came back off thank goodness , & that was in August but since then I lost 8 more lbs because of eating right, but I have thyroid issues so I fluctuate all the time.

I have to wait 15_30 minutes before I can take a small sip of water just make sure it goes down & I stop eating other wise I will slime & everything will come out .

@Melondoll Oh okay well that is good I understand I just had to make sure because there have been other people & trolls that want to just get into a debate , I am glad you are a smart person and seeked out help to find another Surgeon that would help you , that's all I was trying to say.

@@MamaRita yes we get worried right before surgery ,then after surgery we wander what did we do & we start noticing different things , I also felt tugs if I moved the wrong way , so yes most of us do get worried & hope we didn't mess anything up , I am sure you will be fine ,but like I said ANYTHING you are concerned about always talk with your surgeon, just so you can be at ease , remember it helped me to write down what ever or whenever I had a pain so I could remember & ask my Surgeon , I really like my Surgeon because I can text or call him Anytime.

You are new & just had major surgery , yes it is probably your port , don't be worried till you talk with your doctor , also remember they did sew your port or stuff in your stomach to a muscle & we didn't know at the time & you will find out that there are muscles we never use , so don't get to worried ,till then & if you want to ask any questions ASK that's what their for , it helps & has helped me to write down things, so when I go to see my Surgeon I don't forget because I know I will ,just a suggestion.

Wow I totally understand this as it happened to my Mother & She's not even banded, but has other issues , & they still don't know why it happened , but she has been back to normal for almost a year , but they operated & now she has a pacemaker & she was in the hospital for a week , hope they find out what went on & why that happened to you , feel better.

Ok now I can answer I am glad you too matters in YOUR own hands & went to get help from the Doctor and did a barium , fluro swallow to see what was going on & had that unfill , now you can get back on track and tae it easy , hope you didn't get damage to your esophagus, also , as for the diarrhea I would tae some Imodium to see if that helps , well I just wanted to say glad you got of the site & went to get help and got it , Hope you get well and are able to hold liquids and food down soon , good luck.

This is really going to sound funny because I work in a Deli but I didn't eat any type of chicken for about 20 years and when My 31 yr. old was younger & in grade school I fixed tuna for a year everyday because that's all he would eat for lunch , but for me it was chicken ,tuna and I had to have something besides water but now I don't mind having water, or chicken as long as it's not breaded and I don't eat any seafood except for tuna once in a while but I have to fix it my way or I won't eat it, and I love water wit or without flavoring.

Happy Birthday and of course We Thank you for getting this started when there was nothing about these sites and it is funny about you saying that about 40 , someone just told me they couldn't believe I am going to be 51 in December because I look like I am in my 40's but act younger , my lifestyle a what I eat and being banded helped me to be better , CELEBRATE good times , HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
