Self-Fill are you doing this?
scottyd replied to TQUAD64's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
This thread is useless. if your doing this your a fool. Just my opinion. I am frustrated every time I see this one come to the front of the line. -
I have been doing good although my loss has slowed down. but until I get back to my sweet spot that is expected. It is like starting all over again. Not a big deal just a small bump in the road. It will be ok. I really like how all the fuss is made about don't eat or drink before surgery. What crap that is. The day my Slip was discovered at 10am or so I was in surgery at 12pm that day I had Breakfast and drank and did the whole shabang. also drank the barrium junk at 10am. Funny they did the surgery no problems. Rock on or it was a bad deal and had to be done NOW. Good thing is I am here to tell about it and I really like my Doc. saw the problem and fixed that day. no putting it off. That is full service. Scotty d

Dr. Huacuz in Tijuana...Beware! He banded an esophagus!
scottyd replied to melissasmith's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel real bad for her but as it is in Mexico I think she is just lucky she found a Dr. that will fix the problem here in the State's I wish there is something that can be done to warn people of this kind of wrong doing. This woman had nothing but dreams ahead of her. To be taken away by a Man who takes short cuts knowing he will never see her again. Not right. -
4th fill and too tight?
scottyd replied to donnapa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Go on liquids, if you can not get them down. you need to see your Doc. as you will Dehydration will cause problems you have time. Drink, clear fluids, clear broth. if this dose not work. See your Doc. to get some taken out. Scotty D Been there done that. -

Dr. Huacuz in Tijuana...Beware! He banded an esophagus!
scottyd replied to melissasmith's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I for one am sitting here in total amazement and disbelief. I am so glad I have a Dr. that I knew going into this whole thing ahead of time. I really feel for your friends pain. I wish her the best and a fast recovery I hope you fill up in as she progresses. With everything there are people out there to steal your dreams and take your cash. We the trusting soles we are will be taken advantage of but if we hold tight and band together we will beat the crooks at their game. Somethings never change but we the people that pay the fools that steal from us and take us for granted will suffer in the end. It is too bad Some of us have to shoulder the PAIN. Scotty D -
Come on you have been at this a year. you know what is going on here. Not loosing weight? eating too much of some foods that are slider foods? my guess? and vomiting? Too Tight to in the band to adjust for the slider foods your eating. then when you do eat real food you vomit. Careful here this leads to problems. I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS YOU!!! IT WAS ME. I HAD TO RE-BOUND AND TURN IT AROUND AND I DID. i see you in me. catch it now before you have a real issue.. Just trying to help

Angry at my surgeon and Gall bladder
scottyd replied to Mickey527's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did you ask him if he would take out your gall bladder when you had your banding done? I did. For some reason I still have mine I guess I should be angry. -
I love my band and I have lost a total of 184 lbs so far. I have good restriction again and things are going well. I have been banded for just about 14 months. It's all good hang in there. Follow the Doc's orders and you will have great results. No it is not magic, But I for one did not get all (FAT) overnight so I for one can not expect to be thin overnight. I take accountability for my condition and I am moving forward. I refuse to remain stuck in the Oreo Zone. Although I do love them. They are my go to comfort food. When I fall off the wagon I fall into the Oreo's BAD Scotty I am human. I do however know how to pick myself back up and get my tail moving again. Fuel in fuel out. I have 22lbs to lose and they just don't want to leave.

I was missing .5cc's so the Dr. wants to do another one and see so he filled me back up to 10cc's and we will check next week some time. He is Truly confident it is all there it is just hard to get it all out of the tubing. It will be Ok I am a poistive person. I am just staying focused and hey I do have restiction. so I am happy. I am a great supporter of my Dr and his office and no issues will change that so even if I do have a problem would it change my mind not a chance. I know that we all are not the same and the band comes with it's own set of completcations I just happen to fall in the 2 to 5% that have some issues. BE POSITIVE

nooooooooooo gained a lb!!!
scottyd replied to natismi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would call and go in and get a fill, I am sure he will see you before march. Mine would. -
You know I did not know my band slipped until the Dr. did a barrium swallow test. he was worried that even with the band empty I could only eat 4 bites so that prompted the test. That showed the slip and then I had the surgery. Now I am taking tests for a LEAK in the band. that really sucks I do the last test Monday. Now that will be a real bad head game for me if there is a leak for me. I can not take more bad news with the band. hey you don't need my problems on your plate. If you need anything else let me know. I have had the band for 13.5 months I have some answers Scotty D

4 weeks post surgery..having problem tollerating bread
scottyd replied to jenster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
http://www.fortworthlapband.com/public/forms/LAP-BAND_Golden_Rules.pdf? Maybe this will help It does for me when I am having problems staying on point. If your eating bread you just don't gedt it yet. That is a shame as this surgery costs a ton. -
Shrimp is one of those foods that are hard to pass through the band. So if you can eat them on a good day when the band is loose your lucky. They are like white bread to me. Also anything with breading on it is a not a food I can eat food. But I know we are all different. I just have to remember I am on a diet or a life style change. I don't like to PB ever. I have slipped a band and it sucks. Follow the band rules and you will win your battle. It has been me and the band for 13.5 months and still going. good times and bad times.

Things seem like forever when it is going on. I had this happen to me one time. It took a long time but really I was in panic mode. So everything is in slow mode. We all react differently under stress. I did however have to have the xray dept do my fill as we had trouble that day. but since then smooth sailing. Go figure. Good luck I wish you the best.

2ND FILL and EXTREMELY DEPRESSED
scottyd replied to sdpressl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can actually push your Dr for a fill every week. As long as he will do it. Since I had my band replaced I have went back every week for a fill. and also I was there again today. It is up to you and your Dr. -
Restriction with slider foods.....
scottyd replied to marfar7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Slider foods are no good to any of us. period. If you think they are Your in your weight gaining cycle. Your not working the band except in the wrong direction. Just my 2 cents. Your only fooling yourself. -
I would be more than happy to help. email me at Scottyd@hur.midco.net

Bandsters without restriction....
scottyd replied to juliansmom2003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Before my band slipped and I had the revision surgery I could eat in the morning and be good for 6 to 8 hours. now until I get back in to the green zone. I am in trouble for sure. I go back in for yet another fill Wed. But it is all good I just need to get there again. not a big deal.
