ALLERGIES & THE BAND
Ok just got back from My PCP's Office. History - I woke up Sunday with the lower part of my left eye bulging out. I thought (Don't laugh) it was the Peperation H I put under my eyes Thought I must have gotten a hemmoroid. Saw that on Ophra Anyway On Monday yesterday it did not go down and This morning the white part of my eye was swollen if that is possible. After much checking it is Allergies and it does not stop there since I had been sneezing and all the crude draining down the back of my throat has caused my finicky pouch to have more restriction that I am having a hard time drinking water it just pools there. Throat is irritated by the drainage but knock on wood no sinus infection yet. Have to double my dose of flonase and use prescribed eye drops and of course the Allegra. Doc says she thought my burning sensation was heartburn or the acid coming up but I only feel the burning at the middle of my throat so it is my sinus again. Ok I'm done whining :speechles

Heartburn and Restriction
You made a very good point Megan. I have been feeling more acid in my lower stomach and had to start taking the medication the Doctor gave me to calm it down. I add it up to my sinus acting up again. I have more restriction just trying to drink coffee today.

OT (Strattera)
Hi Paula, Thanks for asking he is doing better but we take it day by day. Many positives and a few negatives but he is coming along fine. We work at it each day re enforcing good choices. Pam you are so right the schools now days push medication like it was candy. We struggled with this for 2yrs now it started with his kindergarden teacher and we changed his teacher to one that was more stricter. Now we got a strict teacher this year and the same thing. He was falling below grade level could not remember what was just taught to him within minutes of going over it. Not to mention self esteem was pretty low with everyone talking down to him as if he was not there. Needless to say the school year is almost over and he is doing alot better and I do see his grade coming up and he holds his head higher. So only time will tell

Does your HUSBAND/ WIFE know your weight????
My husband did not know of my weight before the band. He knows now that I weigh less than him but does not know exactly.

First Timer
Kristi you are doing good 25lbs that is awesome. Sometimes we come to a stand still and you may not be dropping pounds but inches instead. Might want to measure your self to be sure but in the coming weeks I bet you will see the pounds start to drop again. Good luck on your first fill.

Goodbye
Whipple don't go I among many will miss your sense of Humor you add so much to LBT as others do, I enjoy coming here through out the day to see what is new. Obvioulsy I missed something somewhere. I believe every road has it's bumps and this may be one of those. I think only postive thoughts of everyone and would like to reply to everyone's questions or comments or even add to the joke thread but sometimes I do not have enough time when I am suppose to be working. But I wish everyone well if they feel they must leave I understand. I wish you and Patty well and that everyday is a good day for her and You.. Best wishes Mary

after the operation.....
Welcome to LBT I had my surgery on Friday Am and as soon as they took all the vitals I was up and walking. Yes I was alittle sore but I had 2 C-sections with my boys and it was a lot easier for me this time around. I was back to work the following Tuesday 1/2 days but of course I have a sit down job I did that for 2 weeks. But I would walk around alot just to keep movement in my legs (did not want any blood clots). But like Penni & Marie say everyone is different, Hindsight I should have taken off a week to make sure my body recuperated slowly. But once I was home I rested alot due to being tired since it is major surgery.

WARNING: Dont Go To Mom's House For Supper!!!
Hope you are feeling better Paula. Mumm Gumbo heard it is good but have not tried it. I have been cheating when I get to the point that I should not take that next bite, I actually do I chew and have a napkin handy and spit it out. (How gross) but It gives me a moment to think what is going to happen if I swallow. Then I have to leave the table or toss my unfinished plate into the trash.

update horror story
That is great you have your Band place correct this time. Take them for every last penny you can! Best Wishes

The TRUTH about your DL...
Mine say 175.00 I lied when I put that down it was more like 220.00 but they did not know that. But I do get the double take when I do pull it out at the Dept stores. I look so different than my most wanted photo. But alas I go get a new one this year and hope fully I will be less than 175.00 and very proud to put my new weight.
