Mita

I usually get them when I have hit my full spot. Does not hurt and they only last a little while.

You go girl. Pictures please

I had a jean summer dress that was really baggy and sandles

What a jack @$$ know if you ask me how rude.. opps I cursed sorry But what gives him the right to talk to you like that.. I would definetly call your real surgeon not the wanna be.. Don't do anything drastic with your self because you want to be in the best physical form for your surgery and being dehydrated or lacking in other areas will make you sick.. Please contact the SURGEON and get his view on 1 extra pound.. Best wishes that everthing works out

Welcome Missy, There are many post that address the band in your mushie stage and it's not uncommon to gain back some weight when you do not have a fill. Hang in there and take it day by day it will all work out.

Megan great moves you made with all your contacts. Hope you are on your way to recovery.

I have a friend here and she was banded back in Jan of last year anyway I was coming out of the break room one day and another co-worker was making a comment on how much weight I lost when this person yelled out that I had the surgery. I just kept walking I was so mad that she took it upon herself to take it upon herself to yell it out in front of the whole lunch room. I do tell certain people but those people I do not know well I do not mention it.

I hear you. I am trying to keep myself busy by generating my reports for Jan. Plus I just ate my lunch so I am safe till 3 I am hoping.

Hi Kimberly How are you doing thus far with the infection? Hope everything is going good for you in that area. Have you read Lisa's post ( Delarla's) regarding port infections. Anyway Great that everything else is good for you.

You bet you can.

Hi Nancy, I am using Nutri-ox ( Nitri- Cleaner) it is for thinning and fine hair. I got it at a Beauty Supply store and it has been helping me with my shedding. I still lose some but not quite so much as I was losing there for a bit. I use the Shampoo & Conditioner I think by curling my hair everyday with the curling Iron does not help matters any. Let me know if you find anything

Hi Jen, Have you tracked what you are eating as far as solids? I find that if I eat chicken for example (solid protein) I stay full longer where if I eat chili beans I get hungrier sooner. I am inconsistant as far as in the mornings I have more restriction than the afternoons and certain times of the month like around the 1st 2 weeks I am much tighter than the latter half. I am still trying to work at it. I would say take it a day at a time but if you find that you are eating alot more and always hungry then of course you would want to talk to your Dr about getting a fill sooner..

thank you, going to check it out

Best wishes Rachel, Like Pat says it is normal to be scared I was to.. But you will be fine. Once Surgery was over and I was awake i was so happy I did it..

Actually no one has noticed what I did to the bed it's raised about 3 inches and I do find myself kinda inching my way down a bit but not much and actually I feel ok again today. But of course the pill maybe I will stop the pill for a couple of days and see what happens. Oh yeah all those gurgling noises has calmed down a bit the only time I hear it is when my pouch is emptying. Maybe it is safe to go see a movie today.

That is to cute. Glad that you are feeling much better.

Jonathon you sound alot better. Just go slow and little sips and you can send the rib eye my way..

Oh Johathon, I am so sorry that you are going through this. I hope you get better and fast. Did the Water stay down this time? I would agree with the others you should go to the ER just to rule out anything else I would think your insurance would cover a emerg visit would'nt they?? Prayers that you get some slack at least to take your meds.. Forgot to ask you some Dr's add a fill when they band you Did he???

update I raised my bed actually put wood under there and I must say what a differance it made I actually slept the entire night with no reflux but then again I did take that pill yesterday but I will wait and see how I do again tonight and in the following days. One other thing I noticed is coffee that is my down fall ever since I gave up being the soda queen I turned to Coffee at work and I must say I have become quite a coffee drinker that could be adding to my problems. Going to cut down on drinkin so much and when I drink it. As of late after 1pm Thanks for all the advise hoping I get better

Cannot feel the band at all just the port.

I did not know that you could get restriction well after a fill. I will have to check into that. He did consider that as an option then thought it was better to leave my fill alone. I am going to see how I feel in the next couple of days. Marie I still have my fill from November.. I have been propping my head with pillows did not know it made it worse will put something under the head board tonight.. Thank Aquafina for bumping up the thread going to reread it.

oops when I changed my weight I took off how much was in my band.. 1.1cc is what I have now. The Dr did not think it was being caused by the band because the last fill I had was around Nov 17 and I have the same amount since then. I had no problems with that fill, so to all of a sudden develope reflux is strange he was leading more in the direction of the sinus infection I had a while ago and since I was draining into my pouch he was thinking irritation. Right now we are grabbing at straws to say the truth. Thanks for catching that no fill. I was worried they were going to take some out because he did mention it. And yes I did try some Pepcid and no differance in the burning it does not happen all the time just sometimes. But the reflux at night is all the time I have to sleep propped up and no more bending over in the morning cause this am some came straight out.. Gross

I had been gettting reflux at night and a burning sensation in my throat when I drink Water here lately and was getting worried so I went in to see my Band Dr. Out come is they do not think anything is wrong with my band just because I do not have any other symptoms. After reading several post sometimes there are no other symptoms but they are going to go a step further I will be on Protonix 40mg for the next month and need to check in with them in 3 weeks if my symptoms have not changed. I will also have the Pyloric H test done again to rule that out. If my burning sensation does not get better then an upper GI. I do not understand this burning when I drink water of all things but Dr says if I am getting the acid backing up when I am asleep then I am getting irritated. You would think sleeping practically up right would help. Hopefully the medication will do the trick. One bit of bad news. scale said something different than mine at home. My weight is 175.6 not 171.00 so will have to change my ticker..

I have a Sony 5.1 and still have no idea what I am doing with it. Got it as a gift from my husband and it works great don't get me wrong I like to see the pictures I just took. But do not know how much it costed

Congrats on you healthy new baby boy. You did a wonderful job being banded and pregnant..
