  10. I was banded on May 28th 2013. Started my pre op on May 15th @ 258lbs. I had severe sleep apnea. I weigh 203 today and feel like a new man. Somebody told me yesterday that I should stop losing weight I'm getting too skinny. I haven't heard that in a long time. This procedure is a lifesaver.
  11. Can anybody recommend a Lap Band doctor in Bergen or Passaic County in New Jersey.
  12. Vodka and Crystal Light

  14. Banded on May 28th @ 258 lbs with severe sleep apnea. Today I am 207 lbs and sleeping like a baby. Best decision I ever made.
  15. I tell everybody the truth. I was banded on May 28th and have lost 51 lbs. I have had almost all positive responses. One person said "Couldn't you just go on a diet?" I simply said "This was the best solution for me" I personally don't care what people think. I feel great. One thing that has happened also is people pull me aside and ask who my doctor was. LOL.
  16. Is it ok to take NyQuil after being banded? I have a cold and could use a shot if NyQuil.
  17. I went from 2.00 to 2.75 and feel like I have less restriction now. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
  18. Does anybody have trouble eating white rice with brown sauce? I want to have some.
  19. I'm probably still swollen from the surgery.
  20. I was banded last Tuesday and some complications with the band being tight. They released the saline and I was able to come home wednesday. I received a steriod shot on tuesday and on Friday. Today I am starting to feel pain. Do you think it's because the striods are wearing off?
  21. I was just banded last Tuesday. The port is easy to feel and you could tell there is a little bit of a bump there. Does this show more an more as you lose weight? I am already down 22 lbs between my pre op diet and first week still on clear liquids. I am wondering what the port will look like as I go on considering it is already noticeable.
  22. Ok, ok lol. I'll wait. Thank you both. I know I have to wait. I just needed somebody to tell me.
  23. Just a week ago. I just wanted to hear somebody say they had a drink. I'm going to wait awhile longer.
