CAPT RICK

I had my surgery 11/5 and had some sinus congestion afterward, which caused some coughing episodes. I am a little concerned about band slippage. It seems to be doing well but I wondered if you can tell when one has slipped. Is there increased pain, or more restriction? I have my first Doc. appointment on the 20th seems like they would insure that the band is where it is suppose to be before then, or am I just worrying for nothing. I really like this forum and have gotten some good information, Thanks to All.:rolleyes2:

Had surgery 11/5 but was wondering if there was a lap band support group in the Texarkana area. If so when and where? Been pretty good with post op recovery, the normal gas pains and can't burp. Has anyone found a solution to getting your protien without the nasty tasting powder? Hang in there- we're on the right path now.

Had surgery 11/5 by Dr. Heiker in Texarkana, doing fairly well, but do feel like I need to burp. The bubble in my lower stomach is extremely uncomfortable. Also is there any other way to take blood pressure and diabetic pills besides crushing them?
