My surgeon doesn't check any vitamin levels at all. Not before or after surgery. I guess I really should get my family doc to check it out.

My doctor sells it and you can order it online.

I thought about that b/c I did feel this way before getting diagnosed but it's been years since I've used my Cpap. I've since gained and lost almost 50 pounds and I'm just now feeling bad again. It's almost like if it is my sleep apnea it's suddenly gotten worse. I would have thought it would have gotten better after losing weight again. I don't have a mask for my machine though so I'll have to call my doc today and get a script for a new one.

I have some but I haven't tried it yet. I was told that if you get it any hotter it will curdle and be clumpy and gross.

The past few weeks I've been so run down. I'm sleepy and exhausted ALL THE TIME. For example Friday night I slept from 10:30 pm to 6:30 AM. Then between 8 am and 1 pm I took 3 naps with my baby and after the third I had to go take a shower just to get moving. I passed smooth out that night also with no problems. So I'm wondering what's going on. I can't even keep up with basic stuff around my house b/c I'm sleeping so much or spending so much time being sleepy. I know my depression and anxiety has come back but I don't think all this sleepiness is from that. My doc did start me on Cymbalta last Tuesday so I've been on that almost a week. I have hypothyroidism but it's controlled with meds. I also have sleep apnea but it's been years since I've used my CPap. I've gone in the last month from having energy and being able to clean house, cook and exercise to barely being able to keep the house up. Opinions? Advice? Could it be that I'm not getting enough Vitamins or Iron now? I'm taking a daily Multivitamin and that's all. I was just in the doc's office last week so I hate to go back again this week but this is getting miserably bad and really interfering with my daily life. Any thoughts for me?

I have reflux for a few days after every fill but it's not as bad as what your describing. It is possible that your a little too tight. How much did you have put in?

I think you should insist on seeing your doc and not the PA. If he won't fill it then find a new doc.

This is a great thread! I put on my new smaller clothes tonight and took the kids to a school event. I got so many great compliments!

Okay here's my biggest downfall EVER! I'm not getting enough protein in:( I was hungry just now and I haven't had supper yet so instead of eating something with protein I really wanted some popcorn with my movie. I knew my stomach wouldn't hold both so I ate a 100 calorie bag of popcorn instead. Now I'm full and I have no room for anything else.

LOL!! I can't wait to buy some trashy lingerie:)

You are so right about that!!

I've had my morning meds and my coffee and I feel like throwing up. Not sure if I had too much coffee or what.

Thanks! I'll call my doctor in a little while and talk to her about it.

Same here. I'll be praying for a full speedy recovery for you. ((HUGS))

LOL!! I think people come to this side to see what it will be like after surgery. They just want to be as informed as possible.

First I bought new clothes b/c my old ones were too big, then I got my hair done, now I want new jewelry to wear with my new clothes. LOL I can't wait to get dressed up now and go somewhere. I feel so good about myself! Thankfully my birthday is Monday and I've asked everyone for clothes, belts, earrings or gift cards.

Walk a lot and keep on sipping. It will get easier.

I don't understand that. It's just weird to me. I'm definitely full but the growling keeps going.

I take Vitafusion. They are adult gummy chewables. You can get them at Wal Green's or Sam's Club.

Hmmm so does that go for Cymbalta also? I was started on that yesterday. Should I be trying something different instead?

You only have a 4 cc band? I thought the smallest they made was a 10 cc.

Good luck to you! This really will change your life for the better:) Keep us posted!

It could be from the swelling but it also could be from the fluid they put in the band during surgery. I know I personally had 3 cc's put in at surgery and I see a lot of others post similar things.

The odd thing is my stomach is still growling like I'm starving but I have a full feeling in my chest, like under my sternum. It's weird feeling.

Are you sure you weren't behind my grandpa:) LOL He scares me with his driving!
