I think anything between you and your employer is suppose to be confidential. Many people know at my work place because half has had it done themselves. Great support system as well.

Sorry that you got sick. Usually surgeons wont perform on patients that are sick because there is a rick of upper respitory infection and pneumonia.

Don't guess, it could one of many things and you have no way of knowing the cause by symptom checking online. It may be minor but it could be serious and require medical attention.
Call your doctor and find out the real reason.

North Houston here. How is everyone.

I have not been banded yet but I have done a lot of research and with the doctors and staff and the crackers, Cookies and chips are bad news. Thats something that will prevent you from losing the weight fast. Those carbs and sugars are bad news. I think you need to get a little unfill and then practice taking small bits using a small fork and chew those tiny bite for 20 times at the least. Eating to late is bad and dont drink wile you are eating. reeducate yourself and you will do better. get those carbs and sweets out of your house because they will hinder your weight lost. I agree with what everyone saying here. go get unfill some go back to your pre op diet twice a day and I am sure that will help. Keep us posted

I agree with everything that's already been said.
Please, please, please get the chocolate and chips out of your house.

Congrats!!!!! I seen many with great results with the band.

Yes, I read that that left shoulder pain is somthing just happens. They cant explain it. I was given a book from my surgeon called The Lap-Band Solution by Paul O'Brien MD and it tells you all about it. It has a lot of good information in it from pre op to post op

Hey everyone,
I am new to the forum and I just wanted to say hello. I will be having my surgery in June and I wanted to know if it was someone in my area that will be getting the surgery soon. I have my Psy Evaluation Wednesday and I think after that I have to have an upper GI and that is it. I am super excited about having this procedure.

I am doing great. First I am older, was 61 1/2 at the surgery and have been over weight most of my adult life. The Band was the best thing I ever did. I have had 3 fills for a total of about 2 1/2 cc. I try to go to the gym 4-6 times a week. I am losing each month and lots of inches. Some people lose faster than others. One thing I never did was take before measurements and before pictures.

Hi! I got my band in July 2012 and have lost only 20 lbs. There are some successes and failures but I don't regret it. I'm learning to journey at my own pace and do the best I can. Good luck!
