  1. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with a cold.. I completely understand! At 3 weeks post op I went to the ER with a 103 fever thinking I was having complications with my stomach.. turned out I actually had the flu. It does get better and you will get there! Lay low, stay hydrated and take it one day at a time! (( hugs )) I've had the flu the last few days and have had a hard time keeping water and protein drink down, but today am felling so much better. Those first three days were miserable and I almost went to the hospital just to get an IV. These kinds of normal life illness are much more complicated when you are only a month out from a body altering surgery. Hope everyone feels better soon!
  2. Correct. I have ruled out the others except for Sleeve and Band. Thanks!
  3. Hi there, Just approved for a surgery consult after a 8 month pre-bariatric program of nutrition counseling, exercise testing and psych evaluation. Have some questions for you expert Lap-Banders: 1. What made you choose the Lap Band over the Sleeve? 2. Have you had hair loss with the Lap Band? 3. What can you absolutely NOT eat now with the Lap Band? 4. At what point did you know you made the right decision with the Lap Band surgery? 5. What as been the best tool you've used in keeping your weight loss progressing? Thank you!!
