  1. its better, i started taking it easy and it calmed way down, so i think i just pulled something. i didnt go to doctor. :thumbup:
  2. i think im running into this, but its very painful like some one kicked me in the ribs. i was thinking maybe i had torn some sutures where the port is attached to muscle. or maybe just pulled some muscle. i'm calling the doc 2morrow to ask. its been like 2 days now.
  3. hey all, i got banded on Nov. 5th. saw my pcp on the 12th, and she dropped my water pill!!!!! 4 more scripts to go! and i cant wear alot of my bigger jeans. saw the band doc on 17th, but i dont no what i did tuesday my side is fricken killing me like i fell hard on it.i dont see any bruising or anything i think i will call the office tomorrow and ask the nurse what she thinks unless any of u have heard of this and i am just being paranoid.
  4. oh good idea, i was having the same issues i am getting the worse hunger pains, i will try an extra protein shake at nite myself
  5. I found some books on amazon, just type in lapband cookbook, or chef dave fouts. Im newly banded so im looking for clear liquids
  6. hmmm, might give my parents an excuse to give me a cool gold bracelet, since im allergic to most other metals and latex. put a little red enamel cross on it. why not?! support the economy!
  7. i hope it works out annev. my sis-in-law told me dr.oh cheated on his wife with his nurse when he was married but that is all the negative stuff i have heard.
  8. i agree, i think if its been a year, u might wanna save up for a little tummy tuck
  9. hey my internet was down, and i could do nothing. so no food and no internet and pain to boot...it was hell! got banded on nov 5th. lots of pain. im on liquid narcotics. thanks doc! just kidding to sore to refill my little teaspoon. im on clear liquids no caffeine no sugar no protein shakes 1 week, 2 weeks liquids, then 2 weeks mushy, then 2 weeks softs, then at 9 weeks solids. and what are softs anyway? i asked no answer was forth coming. must be more mushies
  10. I got banded nov 5th. and am so hungry. im trying to stick to the liquids but man i want food.
  11. hmm maybe you should swich doctors? it shouldnt matter who your doctor is for fills.
  12. i had my surgery. that CO2 is a real pain in the neck literally! but its finally absorbing in my system. I wish i had packed along my migraine medicine. i might have a lower tolerance of pain than most people due to the migraine factor, i've heard that. i didn't really use the morphine much, and i hardly slept. it was very noisey and they do wake you every two hours or so. i was the last one to leave from the day before from surgery, the nurses after surgery were wonderful hanna and carol, but they rest were kinda stupid but the once before i left i think her name was vicky was good too. dr. srikanth was great, i was really impressed with his bedside manners.:thumbs_up:
  13. just want to see if my ticker is working
