    Are Gas X Strips Safe After Banding

    If those don't work, look for a gas relief called Phazime. It comes in a pink or purple box. The strips didn't work for me but the Phazime was wonderful. Worked in one dose.

    Carbonated Drinks

    So Excited! Tt Four Years After Lapband!

    the thing that hurt the most after my tt was the stomach muscles that were tightened. make sure you use a pillow to get up and keep on your compression garment. that really helps.

    Mt. Sinai Chicago,il Any Info Helps

    tere1985, the video online is new. they were holding seminars back when i went in 08. Online would have been so much easier. they were awesome there though.

    Mt. Sinai Chicago,il Any Info Helps

    I didn't go through Mt Sinai but I did go to Day One Health which is also downtown. 900 N Michigan Av. Why are you going for eight weeks? Is it like a class? I went to one seminar and then made the appointment to meet the surgeon.
