Once you start to lose weight chances are your diabetes will go away. I take 5 pills a day without a problem. I can take a standard pill size without having to split it. You may have to check with your pharmacist to see if you can split your pills. Good luck with your surgery. Julie

I took extra strength liquid tylenol and was fine. I only had to take it for a few days. Good luck. Julie

I'm up for a new challenge on the 17th. What date are we going to shoot for this time? Memorial Day or 4th of July? Julie

Ray, just follow the bandsters diet to the tee and you will be fine. It will be really important for you to get optimal fill level as soon as you can. That will help you with the weight loss. Julie

Getting banded is a personal decision. Do not let your family or friends take away your dream. I love being banded and I wouldn't want it any other way. Julie

Welcome to bandland. Congrats. Julie

Mike, keep the faith. It is worth the wait. Julie

Sorry to hear about your slip. I really hope they can replace your band. Good luck. Julie

twhite, good for you. Keep up the good work. Julie

Welcome to lapband talk forum. Congrats on getting banded. You will do great. Julie

PKP1492, I am considered an average/slow loser at 1 lb a week. It took me 8 months to get to optimal fill level. Keep the faith. You will get there. Julie

Cal, that is your restriction speaking to you. If you are still able to consume a lot of food you aren't tight enough. You just have to live with the gurgling. Julie

I don't know why he told you 10 years. The band is suppose to be for a lifetime. Congrats on getting banded. Julie

What a jerk. Good luck.

Emily, what you are experiencing is normal given you don't have restriction. It is time for a fill.

Anniejo, I have heard good things about that doctor. You should be in good hands. Congrats on getting banded. Julie

Phil, congrats on getting banded. You will do great. Julie

Dragonfly, the surgeon typically leaves the band empty when they place it. The stomach swells so that is why. As far as fills go, my surgeon costs $200 a fill. Julie

Eficka, recently I lost a friend of 25 years. She just bailed on me for no reason at all. Its time to make new friends!

I had my surgery on a Tuesday and returned the following Friday.

Follow the diet, it will be worth it!

Welcome to lapband talk forum. Keep putting up the fight. It is worth it !

Mema, congrats on being banded! You will do great!
