Gallbladder Removal
Did you have any bladder infection because of your gallbladder or any constant urination? I just found out I have gallstones and was wondering if maybe they are related to why I urinate so much.

New, 19, and need someone to relate to
You should go for it. Especially with you being young and in college if your already not out there and social it will definitely open up a lot of those doors. I had mine when I was 19 in February 2010 and now 22 and I was very anti-social and going to college was awkward but I don't worry about the same things I did when I was overweight and it makes the experience a lot easier. I was however not on campus when I had mine but the recovery time isn't too long so as long as you take the time to watch your diet for as long as your doctor says as far as drinking fluids and watch what you eat overall I think you would be fine. Plus if you do run into anything I am sure you have a Clinic on campus which the nurse can help you with whatever. I would still keep in contact with your doctor if you live further away at a college than maybe get a referral to a doctor in case of emergencies. Because being new to the band can be scary for some people and hey you never know you may find someone on your campus who has it too. Where do you go to college if you don't mind me asking?

Been along time since last post so this is for Feb 1st-Now
Okay since I last blogged I was getting back from being in terrible pain and the emergency room from the pain pump that was in me. Now that it has been resolved I got sick about a 2 weeks ago and I had it coming out both ends. I think there was a slight bug going around here where I live cause everyone I work with has been sick. I moved out of my parents house on the 12th of Feb. and it has been great since. I live on the third floor now and I guess the upside is I get good leg exercise the bad part i'm out of breath when I get to the top. lol What can you do right? So I have been eating more than I am supposed to because I feel no restriction and I have been feeling hungry I try not to but I mean I can't starve. So I went to get my fill yesterday my 10cc band to a 6.4 cc. I am feeling a bit restriction I am on fluids right now so I haven't eaten any actual food yet so we will see a few days from now how it is. On another note I haven't been exercising too much besides up and down the stairs here and moving so I signed up for a taekwondo class and had my first class today. I plan to do twice a week. That is probably all I can handle it is intense and great workout. Plus you learn self defense what more do you need right. It's an hour class and the most I have worked out in a few years. So I am proud to say they kicked my ass in that class. But I made it through the whole thing without passing out. Thanks for reading. Goodnight.

Any January 2010 Bandsters????
My doctor told me to drink a warm glass of Water before I go to bed and when I wake up before i eat in the morning just in case there is food stuck in your band. He said the warm water usually pushes it down avoiding the "stuck food heart-attack you talk about." and reduces chances of getting gastric ulcers as well.

Late entry January 28th-January 31st
Ok so since I last posted on thursday morning a lot has happened. I got a call back from the Doctor's nurse about me being in pain and all and she said I need to go directly to the emergency room if I am having that type of pain. My worst fear was that they were going to have to remove the band. Well I got there and they did xrays and blood work and everything came back fine. I don't see why though cause every time they laid me down I burst out in tears because I was gasping for air. So it was time for my pain pump to be removed. The one that was supposed to be lower the pain around my stomach area. Well I thought that it was the problem all along and turns out I was right. The moment he removed it I took a deep breathe and was soooo relieved. I don't see why though it hurt so much. So i went home and did normal things as opposed to before. That night I slept on my back which I couldn't do before and it felt good. So friday I cleaned my room and walked the treadmill about 45 mintues on and off. Saturday I didn't do much and my pain was eased to a minimum where I haven't needed to take my pain medicine. Sunday night I had to go to work and work 7p-7a as a unit secretary. I made it through the night but I was in pain because of my bra was sitting on my incision. Also every time I walked it was like my port was jiggling I think it was because of the fat. So today has been good I picked up a couple things for my apartment and have been out a lot and in minimum pain. The one thing or two things I hate right now is yawning and sneezing they make you hurt so bad to where you kinda hesitate before doing it. Most of my coughing pains are away just a few happen on very deep inhalations. I will post a separate post on Protein bars and drinks I just tried that are good.
