Uncrushable Pills...What do you do ?
Lady Lap Band replied to ramone's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've been banded for 1 1/2 years now and I've never had to crush any pill. I always swallow pills. I have never had any issues. -
I was a new member of this site...
Lady Lap Band replied to Ronda68's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I can't imagine how frustrating it must be not to have your insurance cover the surgey! I don't know how legit it is but there are lots of ads on this website about a surg. for around $4,000! That would be a deal seeing my surgery was $15,000! It's good that you have been thinking about having this for a while and now have decided that you think it's for you! I hope you are able to get it done sooner rather than later, it is the best thing I have ever done!! -
Cpap -- to use or not to use...
Lady Lap Band replied to Renee1003's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have Aeta. I had mild sleep apnea and had to get the cpap as well but was dead set against it. What I did was, get it and never wear it because I was told I had to have in it order to get the surgery. I did not wear it and returned it the week after the surgery. They never said anything to me. Hope this helps a little!!! -
Getting banded and not telling kids!
Lady Lap Band replied to laura71's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am right there with you!! I told my mom and dad (because I live with them) and my husband. That is it! Other than people on this website and the blogger world no one knows and I like it that way. Good choice! -
Def let your doc decided! They see this kind of stuff all the time!! I've had this happen to me before too though! Try eating A LOT slower! Lots of times I eat too fast and dont feel full and then it hits me like a ton of bricks and I'm in the bathroom...not fun!!

How are you all doing?? I have a fill in a couple weeks but I am looking for some inspiration on how to work through this plateau if you have any for me!

WHY is everyone so against WLS?
Lady Lap Band replied to mpope's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is EXACTLY what I do as well and I would suggest you do it too if your family is giving you a hard time. WLS is a very private matter you dont owe it to anyone to tell them -
Weight gain before surgery
Lady Lap Band replied to deedee72's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I gained 2lbs before my surg. It did not delay anything and no one even said anything to me about it. -
WHY is everyone so against WLS?
Lady Lap Band replied to mpope's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was 5ft 5 in and 252lbs, and I carry my weight very well so I knew I would have these reactions. So I planned accordingly and didn't tell anyone. Only my husband, mom and dad knew I was having it done. People are afraid of the unknown and they dont want you to be skinner then them and you know it will happen! =) -
Low sodium Levels
Lady Lap Band replied to FinallyChanging's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Never heard of such a thing! A low sodium level would initially sound like a good thing to me but maybe not? -
Hi Bonnie!! I too am just like you.....a diet coke addict but I have been sober now for 17 months! I wanted this surgery so badly and I wanted it to actually work so I just went cold turkey on all soda all together. I was drinking soda up until the day of the surgery and then I just stopped. The whole first year I was banded I drank absolutely no soda at all because my doctor recommended that. Once I hit my one year I decided that I would let myself have one soda per week as a treat. BUT no diet coke. Soda was not my addiction, diet coke was and I refuse to drink it again because I think I'll get addicted. As it is I am finding myself craving soda a lot lately so I am going to give it up through the holidays so keep the addiction in control! You can do it!! It feels really good not to be a slave to something you are addicted to!

What foods get stuck in your band?
Lady Lap Band replied to use-to-be-cute's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Did you tell anyone or ????
Lady Lap Band replied to extraonme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i have a blog all about my experience and a few friends ive met through this site that i meet up with but they are the only ones who know. i told my husband, mom and dad. that is it. i just know all the negative remarks i would have gotten had i told anyone. -
No regrets, but....
Lady Lap Band replied to Alycopp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
that is exactly why I didnt tell anyone except my husband, mom and dad. I knew lots of people would give me crap and i didnt need to hear it. I would suggest stop telling people who cares what they think. to me the band is just like loosing weight on your own, it just prohibts you from gaining it back. -
