  1. I just started the Colonix program. I asked them if having Lapband was ok, and they told me yes. I hope this is correct. My husband says, the powder you mix with liquid should go right thru. I haven't had a fill yet, so the capsules go down without a problem. I will finish my first kit right before I get my first fill. If anyone is doing this, I would love to hear from you to see if there are any side effects conected to the Lapband.
  2. I've recently tried Dannon Light & Fit smoothies, Strawberry & Cream, Yuck!!!, and Ensure Milk Chocolate and High Protein Milk Chocolate shakes...Love!!! (these taste like Yoo-Hoos!)
  3. I am from Calhoun. Had surgery 9/5/08 with Dr. Cribbins. I had the same trouble with Michael. My husband and I both made call after call to him and it took forever for him to call us back. Nice enough when you finally get him to call you back, but, too little too late!
  4. Hi everyone...new girl from Calhoun. Banded 9/5/08. Just getting started with everything. Very confused and excited. Surprised I am not starving as I am an all day muncher. But so far things are good.
  5. Hi everyone! First time to post. Banded 9/5/08 in Texas with Dr. Cribbins. I read alot on the site to prepare, but I feel like I didn't fully understand the extent of the surgery. I'm not a baby...had 3 c-sections, hysto, and 2 breast cyst removed...but this hit me like a truck. Took pain med for 2 days, fri and sat, and am still feeling like I'm drugged today. Worried about not getting enough liquids. Removed the On-Q pump this morning. Will return to work tomorrow. Will continue to read up on everything. I'm so glad I have this forum. More later!
