    hi??s sex after band

    Sex is ok, as soon as your comfortable enough. If you gotta do the deed look for a way that isnt going to hurt you at the incision site. But have fun ! Enjoy!
  6. Hi, I see you had surgery with Dr Rumbaut. I am having surgery tomorrow with him. I got to Mexico this morning.

  7. Thanks EVIE! what you said works! I went in to the chat room just the way you said... the regular way still doesnt work. I guess no one else has figured out the way to do it because there is no one chatting...
  8. To your questions.. yes and yes! I definately feel tighter in the morning and I definately feel tighter around that time of the month.:thumbup: I'm cant even get a whole Protein shake down.
  9. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem. I was banded on sat, sun i came home and today monday I"M HUNGRY... the protein shakes arent really cutting it anymore.. the soup the tea, the propel still leaves my tummy growling... what should i do>?? :rolleyes2:
  10. Hey Everyone, My name is :redface:Marlene:redface: and I live in NYC. I am a HS Foreign Langeage teacher by day and a mom by night. I took a year off from teaching after I had my last son Joshua. I decided to take advantage of the time off to get banded. My procedure is Saturday and I've already lost about 15 lbs on my preop diet. I'm excited but I could really use a mentor. I am the first one in my family to have this procedure and there arent many ppl in favor of this kind of medical intervention. In other words, I'm alone on this. It would be nice to find someone to help guide me on this journey, however if I could even find someone to say WAY TO GO>>> YOU CAN DO IT... I would be happy with that too.
  11. my surgeon told me that usually they put them in empty and that its better that way because that way you can get used to having it there first and then you go back and get a Fill
  12. IF I had to give you advice it would be to go to a seminar and keep track of every single paper. I started a folder specifically for my lapband papers. At the seminar they gave me a specific paper to give my pcp for every visit during the six month supervised diet. They also bring the 2 different lapbands so you can feel them touch them and maybe decide which you want. I think that you wont have any problem, but the seminar will educate you to the little details that can get you approved by the insurance comp or denied and if you want to get this done fast, then go to the seminar and schedule your psych consult. You will be surprised the amount of respect the surgical doc's office will give you when they see that this is important enough to keep on top of every step of the way!!

    Which bands are the best

    Well after i went to my surgical consult my doc explained that the regualr lapband comes in 2 sizes and the realize band comes in one.... then she asked me if I had a preference and I told her that she could decide for me once she opened me up... so it'll be a surprise

Keep me posted ill be getting banded by Dr. Ren @ NYU medical center on sat.
