  4. i don/t think thats true i was banded dec 7,2009,, i get some foods stuck now and then but it can be like lettuce, bread, tough cut meats,, but i never heard of that eating fried foods, buttery foods are only kinds of food,, they need to talk to a nutrionist to get back on track.. I eat veggies, fish, steaks, chicken, baked, good luck

  10. good luck girl, seems you don/t need it but stay mad till it is over love ya Larry
  11. your not close to surgery date yet, you have to go to 4 weeks of classes, they discuss the surgery in small class, then you schedule with surgeon,then you need to be ok with insurance, and then physicals, and misc,, then the surgeon will schedule you,, but it is very informative classes
  12. i may have waited few weeks longer for dr. kelly but they are all good, O can tell you they try to talk you into the bypass surgery instead of the band,, so ask around i am glad i chose the band,, it is a slower loss of weight but much safer
  13. I waited almost a year from my intro meeting to surgery,, but they have other meeting you need to schedule like meeting with psych ologist, nutrionist,physicals, and meeting with sureons,, I was so impressed wit u mass,, they make sure you understand what your in for, and they give you all the support you need.. i will be next door at the support meeting next to your meeting,, they run support group meeting once month last thursday at 6 p.m,, girl good luk i am here if u need to ask anything ..dr.kelly is awsum
  14. I am doing ok,, i had my first fill 1/28/2010, 2 cc, it isn/t really doing much , i think my doctor wants me to learn to eat the right foods before he tightens it up, i have lost weight don/t get me wrong since dec 7 i lost 20 lb, i had lost 34 before the surgery,, I am walking slowly, biking, i need to get into a pool,can/t afford it at moment. i hate mass i want to go to warm climate ..hey girl i am here if you need anything,, larry
  15. hi meg i understand your problems i was banded 12/7/2009. lets be friends i need support too I am larri i ;ive in mass, what u say girl, i have bad knees ankles, and i am feeling same as u
  16. i am sorry to her about your leak on the band,, what type band did u have,?when did u get it done?good luck, you might want to get the sleeve done instead,seeing u had bad luck already
  17. i can tell you it is not fun,, that happened to me 2 times so far I am so careful to east slow and cut meat in small bite size pieces,, also don/t drink while eating , I had a stuck before my fill,, so i am learning,,
  18. I had my lap band on 12/07/09, my first fill is jan 28 th,2010, I also experienced a piece of meat got stuck in my throat i was shocked because i thought if i didn/t havea fill there would be no resistance ,, but there is,, i had actuall 2 stucks,, and and 2 other times it felt like it was stuck and few minutes it passed,, what is causing this ?does anyone else have this problemm everything else is good
  19. so what do they do to numb it???? i am going for my first fill in 4 weeks i'll let you know what they do
  20. i am two weeks post opt, it gets better honestly my port still hurts when i put a shirt over it went for my 2 week check up they said it was ok,, i think u may need more protein,,, hey i am all done liquid stage,on mushies it feels good to eat just 3 oz of fish or cottage cheese,,, i had cream of tomato soup when i was on liquids it was hot,and the milk gave me protein,, sip it slow and only do 4 oz at time but it's better than those shakes for a change,, i was 2 weeks before i slept on my side so it will get better honest Larry
