LOL WELL YA NEEDED A LAUGH IT DOES GET BETTER. I HAD MINE 4 YEARS AGO NOW AND STILL LOVE IT

A LOT COULD BE SWELLING, I HAD THAT "KEN DOLL" LOOK FOR ABOUT A MONTH

Puddin Can I Ask, On Your Tt, Did They Do Any Lipo? I Went To A Ps Today, He Didn't Want To Do Any Lipo On My "muffin Top" With The Port Being In There. I'm A Little Freaked That Just Pulled Down On The Top Will Really Be Enough. Cutting The Bottom Out And A Little Lipo On The Sides If Needed Isn't A Problem He Said. Any Advise? Thanks

DR ORTIZ ALSO RUNS A FORUM IF YOU'D LIKE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. MOST OF US BUT NOT ALL WERE BANDED BY Dr. Ortiz

MY DAUGHTER HAD IMPLANTS DONE IN APRIL. SHE WENT FROM A 32 MAYBE A LOL TO A 34 D IF NOT A DOUBLE D. OF COURSE SHE'S YOUNG AND ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE HAVING THEM. SHE WASN'T IN THAT MUCH PAIN. I JUST KEPT HER WELL MEDICATED THE FIRST 48 HOURS :notagree

PS, I'M SURE WHAT LITTLE PAIN YOU'LL HAVE WILL NOT COMPARE TO HAVING THEM FOR THE NEXT 25 YEARS

Hi Tim

If I Remember Right Dr Fox Doesn't Use Fluoroscopy. Dr Neal In Olympia Does, For Around The Same Cost. I Plan On Going Back To Dr Ortiz In Mx For My First Fill In A Few Weeks Then Back To Him At Least One More Time. If All Goes Well I'd Like To Try The Arlington Pharmacy

My Tummy Was Swollen But I Had No Gas Problems At All:)

I Emailed Inamed Just Over A Month Ago. Within Two Weeks They Sent One, At No Charge To Me. They're Dark Green In Color And Say:

"i'm With The Band" Lap-band Systems With The Inamed Logo

The Day After Surgery, My Friend Sandy And I Walked All Over Tj. Upon Returning To The Hotel, We Hit The Bar For A Few "clear liquids, White Wine" :welldoneclap:

:faint: thank you so much for this thread. I find myself explaining this to my family since they don't understand that I have no restriction yet. The constant calls of "how much have you lost" are absolutely annoying. I think I'll print your post and hand it out at my next family function. Thanks again for your insight.

Patti

AMEN!!!!!!!!

I'M THANKFUL I'M WORKING ON GETTING HEALTHIER

Would papaya enzyme help, or is that primarily for stuck Protein?

I ALSO THOUGHT THEY MAYBE HELPFUL, NO?

My Bmi Was 31.7, Day Of Surgery

Queen,

19lbs pre-op= STARVATION for fear that my liver would be too fat. Someone should have told me years ago that it was only my liver that was fat:p . When do you go back for your fill?

I'M NOT SURE WHEN WE'RE GOING BACK, I NEED TO CALL SANDY. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FIRST WEEK IN OCT BUT I'M THINKING I'D LIKE TO GO BACK THE LAST WEEK OF SEPT WITH MY PERIOD COMING THAT FIRST WEEK OF OCT.

I'D LIKE TO BE "NORMAL" LOL FOR MY FIRST FILL. WELL, ALL MY FILLS

I'VE BEEN GOING FULL STEAM SINCE SURGEY AND JUST TODAY FEEL TIRED. WE WERE AT THE U of W HUSKIES FOOTBALL GAME AND BY HALF TIME, I WAS SPENT!!! LOL TO MUCH EXCITEMENT WITH NO BEER LOL :faint:

Hey TheQueen,

I had glue too. Actually, I loved it. It was so much better than having to have stitches taken out. I am surprised you still have the glue after two weeks. Mine was gone by the end of the first week.

I'VE BEEN EVEN "HELPING" THE GLUE DISAPPEAR.

Queen we couldn't start the party without you. I'm hoping for 10lbs by Oct 1st. I lost 19lbs before surgery and only 2lbs more since then. I have a post op visit scheduled for 9/15 and hopefully a fill the following week. I currently have absolutely no restriction.

DAMN GIRL, YOU'RE DOING GOOD!!!

19 POUNDS PRE OP? I'M IMPRESSED!!!

"WE" CAN DO THIS!!!

Well Here Everyone Is!!!

I'm Hoping This Month Brings No Weight. I've Lose 12 Pounds Since Surgery And With No Fills Coming Till Oct 1, I'm Hoping To Just Maintain

YOU'LL DO GREAT!!!

I DIDN'T HAVE ANY C SECTIONS BUT I CAN GUESS THIS SURGERY IS A PIECE OF CAKE COMPARED TO THAT!!! :faint:

CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

PS I TRIED THE ALOE juice, I COULD ONLY TAKE ONE berry BOTTLE, NO MORE LOL EVER!!! LOL

I am so glad you posted this! I am having surgery on a Wednesday and I have to go back to school on Monday. I have had 3 c-sections and I can't see this being worse! Yay..thanks for posting!!:clap2:

MY FRIEND SANDY AND I DID GREAT. BANDED ON A THURSDAY, WE SHOPPED ALL THE FOLLOWING DAY THEN SHOPPED AGAIN ALL WEEKEND LOL. WE FINALLY SLOWED DOWN SOME ON MONDAY AS SHE HAD TO RETURN TO WORK. I ON THE OTHER HAND TOOK A LITTLE VACATION FOR A FEW DAYS IN BOSTON AND SHOPPED AGAIN LOL

MAYBE THAT WAS THE TRICK TO NOT HAVING ANY GAS PAINS OR PROBLEMS.

Two Weeks Post Op (THE GLUES DRIVING ME NUTS LOL)

I'VE HAD NO GAS WITH MY SURGERY AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS DRINKING OUT OF A STRAW. I USE A STRAW TO SLOW DOWN THE DRINKING INSTEAD OF GULPING MY Water

I always drink from a straw and do not have any gas problems. It actually seems like I get less air then drinking from a bottle, glass etc.

I don't drink soda because of the gas pain but my Protein shake is in a metal can and I hate the way it feels without using a straw or pouring it into a glass.

ok...I'm beginning to think that I may have gotten the short end of the stick here, was anyone here catheterized?

ROF YOU GOT THE STICK ALRIGHT ROF :omg:

I Didn't Have A Catheter, Thank God Lol But My Port Is Still Sore, Surgery 8-17, Maybe This Week I'll Feel Good Enough To Rock His Boat, Along With Mine
