Someone needs to actually be checking her temp not just "feeling " her. if she's ran any kind of fever her doc needs to know ASAP. She NEED To be walking or she could develop blood clots . Someone needs to tell her laying in bed is NOT an option right now and not drinking is not an option right now . If your dad wont call her doc than you need to . Something minor can turn serious from a fever and dehydration post op . Not to try to scare you but there are reasons docs tell you to walk, drink and CALL IF you run a FEVER ! Let us know how she is doing Mindy

I missed this post. It is confusing when its random like this . But if your having problems with your own Saliva even on some days I would venture to guess your too tight. That's not safe to stay THAT Tight ! Have you called your doc ? Where in Texas are you ? Mindy

BOTH times i needed unfills this is exactly what happened to me. I get all my fills under flouro , can drink Water fine after my fills. Keep in mind your fills can take up to a week to kick in if not longer for some people, also your stomach can swell after a fill. That is why my doc requires 6 days of liquids post fill. By time i get to even semi solids If im having issues I KNOW Im too tight. Honestly It sounds like your probably in need of an unfill. I dont get people being SO afraid of an unfill. If your TOO TIGHT your too tight. I was a little worried because i did not know what to expect. but if you get an unfill , you WILL Still have restriction , think about it , your TOO tight NOW , so if they take out some ( and they only take out A little ) you will be restricted still. Your NOT Going to gain a TON of weight back. The unfill puts you where you SHOULD Have been with the original fill. I Have discovered that ( along with my doc) that I am sensitive to fills and have to go slower with the amounts. For example instead of 1cc at a time I have to do half a cc or less . I cant tolerate 1cc fills . If you THINK you need an unfill or if your not comfortable eating the way you are and your PBing often you probably need an unfill ! HTH Mindy

Really its not that bad, the needles are SO tiny . Also you can give the injections in your thighs as well. Good luck with your surgery ! My husband would not have done it even if i wanted him too either LOL Mindy

Yeah buddy we got our numbers and everything. We will have to post pics !! Mindy

I would call and discuss it with your doc ? My doc keeps me on liquids for 6 days post fill so the swelling goes down . So i would call the doc it does sound like you could be too tight. HTH Mindy

OHH IM SO HAPPY For you ! I was about to type words of encouragement ! YEAH never thought you would TRY SO HARD TO BE A LOSER did ya ! HA HA Any news on a surgery date ? Looking forward to your progress ! Mindy

that depends on how much your getting. My sister in law had to take it for 2 MONTHS after her blood clot 3 times a day . Mindy

Yeah docs vary so much . That is an issue personally , i wish they would all get to gether and say " HERE is how we are ALL going to do it " Your doc might not have wanted you to take aspirin because you were going to get heprin in the hospital and didnt want your blood too thin ? That would be my guess ? who knows ? I was surprised I got an injection of heprin BEFORE surgery . Mindy

I had the same amount of heprin ,so did a friend of mine as Seattle Girl, its a valid precaution .Obese people in general are prone to clots after surgery. I did not spend time in the hospital , was home the same day . but i had the same instructions you did . Get up walk around ect . I think that is pretty standard for any surgery ! . Heprin is not uncommon instructions for post op ! Neither is this amount . Mindy

oops Also make sure to get a different spot each time . Or you WILL GET SORE!!! Mindy

That is true , also i said give them in your stomach because i have A LOT OF excess skin in my stomach and I cant even feel the needles there. You feel a very tiny pinch like someone poked you with a straight pen and that's IT . Most of us i think probably have some excess skin some where . Just as long as you get it somewhere where there is excess skin or fat it wont hurt. Mindy

I do not know . different docs have different protocals My doc does not require everyone to do this. Its not needed for EVERYONE! I would say if you Smoke AND take the pill your a good canidate because that right there puts you at Risk for clots ! your not suppose to smoke and take the pill. My SIL almost died from a blood clot that went to her lungs from smoking and taking the pill. So i would quit as soon as you can before surgery ( meaning as long as you can before the surgery ) Mindy

In history of strokes in the family ? do you smoke ? or did you just quit ? and or on the pill and smoke ? It could just be his policy ? However like i said its not a big deal , line the needle up and close your eyes and push it in ! Mindy

Dont worry i had to do the same thing ! Mine was due to having migraines , it put me at risk of strokes ( clots cause strokes) The needles DO NOT HURT, they are SO SMALL I PROMISE, give them to youself in your stomach . Your going to HAVE TO DO IT OR YOU PUT YOURSELF IN SERIOUS Danger ! Your doc has you doing these for a reason ! SO DO IT ! Seriously . I am not trying to be mean but you have to figure out a way to do it . either than or if you live with someone or knwo some one is Willing to come OVER 3 TIMES A DAY and give you your shots , those are your ONLY 2 OPTIONS ! HTH Mindy

OH Sh%t i dont know if i want to do that !!! Mindy

YEAH CONGRATS ON THE DATE TEX !!! And if you feel HALF as bad as did STAY HOME. There are TONS Of races in Austin All the time if you look at the run tex site there is one nearly every weekend. So you rest we can do one another time when we can ALL RUN IT !!! Stranger is starting to get sick too , So she's iffy too i think. Get rest and get better dont worry about the race ! Mindy

I do have to count calories if im not loosing but its usually to make sure im eating enough like i said before. what i meant was, and did not mean to offend any one was I do not want to HAVE TO COUNT for the rest of my life and I feel for myself and the band i dont have to . If some people have to or need to to be held accountable that's great, I weight myself EVERY Day to hold myself accountable and others think that is STUPID LOL . What ever works . Mindy

I think i would like that more than a FULL wouldnt ya'll ? I dont know if i can do a full , not just because of the pain factor but because of the fact that it just does not seem right to have the Vajayjay BALD AGAIN ! LOL Mindy

I was SO Excited when i could shop at Old Navy again ! and did not have to look for the BIGGEST Size , the BEST FEELING EVER was when i tried something on and it was TOO BIG O LORDY !!! Mindy

Ok So I Was ON MY WAY to get one today and then though " I MIGHT Want to wait until AFTER my period is over !! "LMAO :tt1: I swear i was on my way to the Waxing Studio . Then im sitting here reading this thread and hubby says " whatcha doing " I told him and he says " ARE YOU GONNA DO IT " I said im thinking about it He WHIPS OUT ( get your minds out of the gutter ) His WALLET and HANDS ME THE MONEY and says " EWW EWW GO TOMORROW !!! " LMAO Here is a question though . On the places site where i want to go they have a FULL Brazilian , im thinking that's full 12 yr old bald status , then they have a "Playboy" Anyone know what that is ? Im thinking maybe they leave a "landing strip ? " Im going to call and ask tomorrow ! Mindy

i have to agree, if i wanted to count calories for the rest of my life i woudl go on some damn diet again . LOL I didnt do well with those for a reason , REBELLION LMAO MINDY:angry:

Maybe im not doing something right but for ME a Pb is throwing up ? It is not different than throwing up was before the band ? SLIMING ON the other hand is QUITE a different thing its more uncontrolled. In fact here is a nice little story for ya LOL Im SO tight right now thanks to my TOM and from this damn sinus drainage from being sick ( gotta love living in Texas) . Well i ate a baked potato e last night and started to get stuck . So i waited a bit, and here it goes started to slime, I got up off the couch to go to the bathroom and coughed I guess at the same time and SLIMED ALL OVER MY FLOOR. ok not really a big deal except my 15 yr old son was sitting at his computer in the living room and the look of DISGUST was HILARIOUS on his face !!!! He looked at me and said " YOUR NASTY " My husband comes wakling in and said " what the hell did you just do " I said " I SLIMED OK " He starts to comment on how nasty I am . SO i got mad and said " After all the damn FARTS, BURPS, PUKE, ASSES Ive changed , PISS IVE SAT IN FROM TOILET SEATS BEING LEFT DOWN AND ALL THE OTHER NASTY SHIT YOU 3 BOYS HAVE DONE OVER THE YRS I BY ACCIDENT SLIME ON THE FLOOR AND IM THE NASTIEST PERSON ON EARTH GO TO HELL ALL OF YOU " For Gods sake i live with 2 boys and a GROWN one who have ARGUMENT about who's BURP was the GROSSEST and IM NASTY For sliming on the floor ! Give me a BREAK !! on them how is THAT for a mental image NEWBIES LMAO Miindy

For right now do not worry about weight. the first 6 weeks after surgery is about recovery . it sounds like your doing well. Follow your docs advice and you will be fine. Are you allowed protein drinks yet ? If so those will make you feel A LOT better once you get to those . Dont worry about loosing your hair either. are you taking flintstone vitamins ? That will help with hair loss I never had any more hair loss than i normally have ( I have it due to PCOS ) But you will be fine. Let us know how the doc goes Mindy

If i eat less than 1000 cals a day i will not loose. my doc says no less than 1000 a day and 1200 is ideal if your working out 4 days a week . I dont count cals anymore , unless i stop loosing and i do that mainly to make sure im eating ENOUGH . I think if your loosing its fine , if your not evalute the calories and maybe you need to either cut back or increase it a bit ? HTH Mindy
