Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried buying a small amount so that I go longer in between. This seems to help with the frequency. I'm happy to hear I'm not alone with this.

Thank you so much for your response! I also have a brother in the same boat. It is on both sides of my family. I guess not having food to rely on has brought this to a head. I have read a few post thanks to your suggestion. I hope the best for your family. I was a bit scared to post on here about this because some members expect you to follow dr's orders strictly and on this issue I am having a hard time.

there are many words i don't like...being called a bi#@h..but i cant stop the world from using that word....shutup..etc...and i dont used them..i can't mandate that the world not us a word.... some people think you can be racist if you use certain words or even adjutives to describe someone and then use the word themselves...this topic infuriates me my son was called a cracker numerous times and nothing was done about it...he called a name back and was sepended for a day..rediculous..i fought the school and told them any form of racism should be punished not just the pc one's

I never thought I drank too much until Lap Band. After quitting the alcohol before and after surgery, I found myself needing it. I can't seem to make it two days without drinking. I went through so much to have this surgery and don't want to blow it by wasting calories on alcohol. I lost 15 pounds the first week and haven't lost any since so I know this is affecting my weight loss. It has been 4 weeks since my surgery. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if there are any suggestions.

im so glad i didn't see this post before i went there..i love love love dr enochs and his office. yes i did have to wait a day or so for a return call but i was informed of every move they were making. i personally feel like they return the most urgent calls first. i had a problem with my gp giving paper work and angelica helped me to worry them until they gave it up. after my surgery i had an allergic reaction and left a message for the nurse to call me back. it was late when i called and i received a return call at 6:45 at night to help me. it took me 3 months to get my paperwork done and of no fault of theirs. they were there with me every step of the way. i will be going for a checkup in 2 days and i hope nothing changes for me. good luck to you on this journey we have all taken on.

I have BCBS NC and it took less than a day. After all the preop test were done and they had the results the dr's office told me one afternoon it was being sent in and by the next morning I was approved. From what I've read this is atypical. Good luck to you!

I have read prob every thread on here and finally I find y'all! I was banded on 12/16 and have my first appt 1/5 but I don't think it is for a fill. I do fine most of the day then late afternoon/early evening I am starving. I didn't feel hungry until this week. I can't wait for a fill. I lost 15 pounds almost instantly but stopped this week. I have also been so tired. I got passed the 3 hour naps and returned to work but this is the latest I've been up since the surgery(10pm). I hope it gets better for all of us.
