    Tubing flipped up!

    Has anyone every heard of that? My band is in place but somehow the tubing goes up above the band and down. My surgeon said it wasn't placed that way. So when I eat it makes the tubing press against my diaphram and gives me referred pain in my lower left back. CRAZY! So I'm wondering if I should have it out. My surgeon just wants to do a revision because he doesn't like lap bands because of all the maintenance. Rebecca
  2. LOL! I was wondering the same thing.

    Today is my one year Bandiversary!

    Congratulations! You look amazing! What did you do for exercise daily?
  5. So glad you were able to get some relief. Now let's hope you get total relief with your back. You can make it until June. My doctor said I could take Advil from time to time but not on a regular basis. I sure will be cautious about taking it at all now.

    Benefiber in my diet juice is great. Dissolves, no taste, & no thickness from it. Or Fiber Well chews.

    Before and Preaent Me

    So Very sorry for your loss. WOW! Look how far you have come. Great Job! You really have gone done in sizes. Especially with all the stress you have been under. Keep up the good work.
  8. Me too Cheryl. I have to have it quiet so I can concentrate on taking small bites and chewing really well. If not I will have issues. I thought I was the only one. RebeccaStarr
  9. So sorry to hear all that you are going through Donna. Ditto to what everyone else has said. I pray that you get the pain under control. Do what you have to do. Health and happiness first and foremost. Good luck with everything. Keep in touch.
  10. That is AWESOME! What a transformation! Great Job.

    Just got banded and i'm scared.

    Don't be scared. You will do fine. Every day gets better and better. By the fourth day you will feel more like yourself. Just follow your doctors orders and you will do fine. It will be the best thing you ever did for yourself. Once the weight starts coming off and you start getting more energy, you will know you made the right decision. I have never looked back. I was banded June 24th, 2013 and have lost 43 lbs. so far. Down two pant sizes. It is only a tool. You still have to do the work of eating healthy and exercising. Good luck! RebeccaStarr

    Tomorrow is the big day!!!

    Good luck! It will be over quickly and there really isn't any pain. Some have gas pains and that is it. Mine was gas that settled in my shoulder. That is normal. The first 4 days are the roughest. After that you are on your way. Good Luck!
