    NeedaBreak4Me got a reaction from jnt1 in Post-op Insomnia anyone?   
    Do you think perhaps the meds are what are triggering the dreams and headaches?
    I found when i had the meds in hospital i was actually dreaming (i never normally do) and my sleep was off....
    When i got home i didn't take the meds only paracetamol and ive slept perfectly since

    Ladies..... im in the same boat as you i had the smoothest recovery ever... i even went shopping after!
    The only downside is i have not lost any weight yet... still the same weight as my surgery day.. grrrrr
    I know its probably Water and i know i will lose slowly due to being classified as lightweight. .. but come on!!!! At least some movement!! Lol

    Sounds to me the alcohol inflammed your stomach making your band tighter.
    Stick to non inflammatory soft foods for a couple of days. .. it should resolve.
    I also found that if i travelled in a plane it would get tighter for a week or so

    Hi Tina...
    I am really sorry to hear you are feeling so desperate that you feel the need to risk your health and safety to lose weight.
    Doing your own fill is extremely dangerous and you definitely do not want to be in the red zone.
    Bu having your band too tight you risk so many issues... eg problems with your esophagus, your stomach going over the band, herias and infection.
    I would seriously take myself to emergency and get yourself checked out and unfilled then refilled by a professional.
    As to your desperation to lose weight... having the band so tight is actually counterintuitive... you won't actually lose weight if your calories are too low.
    Please please please go seek professional advice, this doesn't sound right

    NeedaBreak4Me got a reaction from KristenLe in Sleevers with PCOS?   
    I had the band for 6 years.. lost 88lbs (40kg) and maintained, then i had complications and had it removed 12 months ago.
    I had the sleeve done 5 days ago... so ive been on both ends of the scale... literally

    Hey..
    When i had lost lost weight, yes... it completely resolved my PCOS. I went from having a period once a year to every 28 days like clockwork.
    The facial hair wont completely disappear but it will reduce. I just had the excess lasered and have been fine since

    I had my sleeve done on Wednesday... i am 4 days out. I was like a crazy person the two days prior. On hindsight i wish I didn't stress myself out so much... it isnt as bad as i thought it will be
    Good luck though... im sure you will do great!

    Doing really well... managed to reach my Fluid target... sleeping ok... surprisingly this is less painful than having the band.
    The only complaint is the heartburn... that is annoying

    Thank you for all your support.
    Its done.. i am officially a post oper...
    Its been relatively easy... the nurses said that i was the quickest to recover they have seen.
    I was up walking around a couple of hours after the drugs wore off and have been able to go above and beyond my liquid requirements.. so thats pretty good... yay to me.
    I am going home in a couple of hours... lets see what the next stage beings...
