He says he is taking out what he can but isn't sure he is getting it all.

I really like Dr. Dewitt, he is very nice and personable. I have had a good experience so far. (Sorry this reply is so late.)

10 DAY OF CLEAR LIQUIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ouch!!! I was only on 2 days of clear liquids and it was bad enough. Honestly, the crap you have to drink the day before surgery will clean out ANYTHING you have eaten. Good luck, it WILL be worth it. I will pray for you.

How the Lap-Band actually works, fills and refills
Dustielee replied to Wendell Edwards's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My port is beneath my largest scar in the middle of my stomach. The needed is inserted into the port which is connected to the tubing, leading to the band. You can't get a fill unless the port is accessed by the needle. -

banded july 28th need some friends!!!!
Dustielee replied to thelonedaisy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am feeling fine. The gas was pretty bad for me too! It made my shoulder hurt terribly. I thought I would never get rid of it all. -
I had my 1st fill today, 4 ccs. Didn't hurt but I know I will be sore tomorrow due to all of the poking and pushing the Dr. did to find the right spot. I never felt any restriction when drinking, but he felt like he got it in the right place, so I guess we'll see. My fill site bled a good bit but it is fine now. Dustie

Just FYI: A friend of mine is on the New Weigh diet. She let me try her Hot chocolate, it has 2g Sugars and 15g of Protein!! It tastes great, I do add a little Splenda to it sometimes. You can buy it here.>>> Ordering On-line Is Convenient and EASY! Dustie

Dustielee replied to thelonedaisy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded on July 8th. I am a 36 yo female with about 150 lbs to lose. I have a 2 1/2 year old son and I work full time. I have been doing great post surgery. I have lost 25 lbs so far. I go back to see my surgeon on Thursday for my 1st post op visit. Can anyone tell me how those tickers work? -
New to site/4 weeks post op
Dustielee replied to Dustielee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sugery went smoothly. I am doing great so far, I am 4 weeks post op, have lost 25 lbs, and have not been sick since day one post op. Committment is a MUST with Lap Band because there is no "punishment" for eating the wrong foods. Good luck & God bless you Lori!!! Dustie -
Hello! I am really excited about finding this site! I think it is going to be SO helpful! I wish I had found it pre-surgery. I live in Alabama, I am 36 years old, I have been married for 7 years, and I am a proud Mom to a wonderful 2 1/2 year old little boy.:biggrin: I also work a full time job. I hope everyone has a great day! God bless, Dustie
