Thank u ... i hope not too!

Thank u

I guess the last couple weeks with this band its making sure i HATE this band! Had my preop egd last thursday and have had a horrific cough and havent been able to sleep went to the ER yesterday and they said i have GERD gave me pepcid and told me to sleep elevated and take malox ...well it helped a little but still wake up every 2 hrs coughing so bad im gagging so i went to my lapband dr this am and they took out some fluid and sent me for a CT scan so now im sitting at the hospital waiting ....and still coughing and gagging WTF is wrong with me UGGGHHHHHH so frustrated!

Good luck to you all!

I also haven't been put on any type of liquid diet or anything as of yet i go for my preop appt on 4/9 and was thinking maybe then he would....i was gonna start today and go back to doing 2 shakes and small meal and cut the carbs back out because i heard its good to lose some weight before because it will shrink your liver which is good for surgery.....did your dr say anything about shrinking your liver? Unfortunately because of being so sick the ER dr told me to eat toast and milk today so i haven't started my shakes yet

Help! Ok so ive not been feeling good since last monday sore throat and coughing thursday i had my egd and since then havent been able to sleep because my cough is so bad i thought it was just from being sick but now im realizing its only when i lay down could it be something with my band?? I am going to the dr tomorrow just don't know if i need to go to my reg dr or lapband dr ....... sitting in my recliner for the night hoping i can finally get some sleep after 4 days of no sleep

Happy easter to you too!

Happy easter to you too!

I also just ordered truvia i have heard it's the best tasting sweetener besides the real deal lol? Any thoughts?

I havent been put on a liquid diet or anything as of yet i dont go to the dr until the 9th and my surgery is the 16th so on monday the 1st im gonna go on my own version of everyones diet no carbs and 2 shakes a day and im gonna attempt to eliminate coffee ahhhhh.....also wanted to ask everyone how much protein is in your shakes? I always have used EAS advantedge and its 17g but i see some of you post more is that a switch from lapband requirements?

Thats great im hoping to not have so much pain like i do with this band

Welcome how r u doing now with the bypass?

Thanks yeah i hate this band lol

I wasnt told no caffeine however i like mine light and sweet which i.know i cant have lol

Just got done with my EGD my anxiety kicked in before having it but all went well im still a little dopey but on our way home ...the dr said my stomach started coming up around my band again and i have a dilated pouch. so i def need it out

I just called bariatric advantage 1-800-898-6888 and asked if they have any samples and they are sending me a gastric bypass sample kit and a protein powder sample for free and on their website the gb sample kit is $9.25 so im glad i called and got one free
