  1. Baconsher are you ok?Did you get the Sleeve?
  2. I saw the article...she was a beautiful lady....what in the hell is wrong with him?No one knew he was crazy???He must have committed other crimes...He is insane.Very disturbing.
  3. I get it as well...I thought I was the only one....it come on when you least expect.Went to see my primary and she dismissed it as plantar fasciitis .I have changed my shoes but I still get it from time to time...in fact as I write this post.
  4. Why didn't I get the lapband from the start!???My friend who had the sleeve...throws up!! I have not had any dumping or sliming or throwing up since my revision.I also don't have any gerd or burping or belching.
  5. I am ok at restaurants...in fact better...my favorite restaurant was PF changs,Cheesecake Factory...with the band I was always getting up 2 or 3 times to get to the bathroom to throw up or slime!My parents were the only ones to know that I had the band and it was pure misery....It was even a question of me overeating .I would be so hungry ...take a bite or 2 then off to the bathroom.I was always miserable....I constantly had a sour stomach ugh...now I can go to the same restaurant and not have that crazed hungry ,ravenous lapband feeling.I order and eat what I can and take home a doggy bag....or not.I am not craving sugar so my choices are sane...I feel so much better...I am sticking to a high protein diet so it's easy...no cravings.
  6. Lace131...girl I was right there with you...trapped,ill and miserable with that lapband.Keep going to the doctor,emergency room etc...document everything.?..start the process all over again...fight to get approved.Call the Lindstrom patient advocacy group....fight for your revision.
  7. Great.I am losing slowly but steadily with a few stalls.I no longer suffer from all the complications and pain that I had with the band.I no longer have that constant ravenous hunger or the pain and vomiting etc...RNY is allowing me to take control.I am on a high protein...Paleo diet plan....sugar is cut out and I feel so clear headed and wonderful .
  8. It should be banned.The lapband has caused me so many complications...RNY is a godsend...a second chance....
  9. I had slippage and erosion and it fused to other organs....it was removed all at once...tough but glad to get it out of me!!!!Revision to RNY is wonderful.
  10. Are you kidding me???[emoji122]????[emoji122]????[emoji122]????You look incredible....and that's good weight loss.Congratulations my dear!

  18. I just received my blood work 3 months post op.My liver enzymes are still high but my chloresterol has dropped 50 pts. So I need to need to continue to work on getting everything normal.This Paleo diet is a big help.Thanks.

  20. You look fantastic!I must say..."That red dress is smoking"You look great in both pics!Congratulations!How do you feel losing that amount of weight in a short time?
  21. My doctor didn't want to hear anything because she was wearing Nike sneakers herself in the office.I guess I gotta get some Dr.Scholls inserts....:-/ Don't walk barefoot she said!
  22. I was diagnosed with a "Fatty Liver"anyone else dealing with this?
  23. It really makes a difference...you feel so much better.
  24. Awaiting blood work results...must drink more water...it's hard but I try my best.I went to my doctor for a referral...she had on a new pair of Nike sneakers and lectured me on walking barefoot and...shoes etc....She claims suffered from the same thing...insoles etc...I must admit I was a bit pissed...I will o back in a week as it persists...:-/
