lmfao...................ur right! i dont get it also!

I have the lapband and it is the best thing that i have ever done. But it is not as fast as a weight loss as the bypass. It takes time. But i hear that u have a better chance of having less sagging skin with the lapband.

I used a heating pad. And also walking helps too. Best of luck to u! yoco28

When I had the nausea and lightheaded feeling I was told by the nurses to smell a alcohol pad. And it worked! Also I went through the same thing. Cooking for the family and u cant even eat it. I am now 6 weeks post-op and I cook what I eat for everyone. I just use turkey or chicken instead of beef. And so far no one has had any complaints. So it will get better! Hang in there...lol yoco28

I had to look it up What is Lovenox? Feedback for Lovenox User ReviewsAvg User Rating2 Reviews 5.7Rate it! Lovenox is a blood thinner, also called anticoagulant (an-tye-koe-AG-yoo-lant). Lovenox prevents the formation of blood clots. Lovenox is used to prevent blood clots that are sometimes called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to blood clots in the lungs. A DVT can occur after certain types of surgery, or in people who are bed-ridden due to a prolonged illness. DVT sometimes occurs suddenly for other reasons. Lovenox is also used to prevent blood vessel complications in people with certain types of angina (chest pain) or heart attacks called non-Q-wave myocardial infarction or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Lovenox may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

I was wondering about the injections too? What r they for? (if that is not too personal of a question) oh...about the bathroom issues it only lasted me a couple of days then i could not even go for 5 days. best of luck to u! yoco28

I checked it out...............lol and it was pretty neet how u could also buy the item too.

When I was banded 5 weeks ago I really did not have a choice in which band to get because my doc said it all depends on what size will be right for me. so i ended up with the lapband that is a size 11. and 2 of my family members one had it done 2 months before me n the other 4 months before me both got the lapband but a size 14. one has lost 35lbs and the other lost 65lbs. and they both have had fills. i have not had a fill yet and have lost 22lbs. so best of luck to u! and see what ur doctor recomends. yoco28
