I am a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), which means I put people to sleep for sugery. Chances are if you all had lap-band surgery a CRNA took care of you!

I am in!

I had no problems getting out of bed, the first couple of days it hurt a little to do so though. Good luck!

I hate when people do not know the difference between lose and loose

I am not sure anyone could really answer this for you. For example you and I could work for different companies and both have insurance through CIGNA. However my employer may have opted out of coverage for bariatric services while your company opted to cover them. Does this make sense?

I would call your doctor, it may be nothing but it probably would ease your mind just to check.

My suggestion is to go get fitted again especially if you have lost weight. I was amazed at how much more comfortable bras were when I got fitted correctly. Good luck!

Sorry to hear that you are having problems:sad: What sort of body issues are you asking about?

:confused: I would get a appt. with your surgeon asap, because like others have said your teething falling apart is probably due to stomach acid or *severe* nutritional abnormalities either way I highly doubt its plaque that is coming off. Please don't starve yourself. Your body will do what it has to do to get nutrients- like "steal" calcium from your bones and such, this can cause so many problems down the road for you like osteoporosis. I really am not trying to preach or scold you, I just worry when I see things like this. Does you surgeon have a nutrionist?

I am a nurse who has accessed many IV ports- like the ones cancer patients have in their chests for chemo and you can definately tell when you have hit the port, you feel the needle hit the metal back of the port. I mean I guess it could happen but I think its unlikely. If she did the saline will not hurt you, you will just absorb it.

Congrats on your impending band date! The band is usually *not* removed once the weight is lost, it is meant to be a permanent tool to help you not only lose the weight, but also keep the weight off. Good luck!
