  3. She said "grow up"! I said "stop being so old!" Really, I'd say I didn't stoop anywhere.... lol!! Oh, and on top of that, I really just don't care whether I'm being juvenile... I.think she was out of line by suggesting there was ANYTHING wrong with this post!! I was being honest too!

  5. I got kind of offended too... I take the time to actually weigh, measure, portion and track all my ingredients when I cook so I can log the calories at home... I think it's more lazy to just say "oh that is too much work I can't do that."

  8. Is it ok to swallow the biotin pill after surgery?
  9. I was worried about this because my best friend got lap band 2 years ago and hasn't lost any weight. I almost didn't tell her I was going to get it but decided that would bother her more when she found out later

  11. I don't usually have a problem like this but after reading about it, it looks like the same thing that happens to me after getting IVs. After all my surgeries I have develiped big painful fluid filled bumps.I figured it was part of my natural healing process. Usually goes away a couple of weeks and doesn't come back. Good luck to you!!
  12. I was banded April 2nd, have nothing in my band right now. Right after surgery they took me down to do a barium swallow and it showed the liquid was just slowly trickling through. Now I'm at home and every tiny sip I take its followed by a gurgling noise and a burp. Has anyone else experienced this? It's almost impossible to get liquids in! And it huuuurts.
