I had a yeast infection at two weeks out, the taste was horrible, one diflucan and was gone in 24 hours. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I dumped on sf ice cream.

I had a pneumothorax during surgery and the surgeon was unable to do the RNY. I woke up to a chest tube and drain with no WLS. The important thing is I woke up ????

Has anyone had their insurance company pay for band removal after complications when they self payed for the band? Thanks.

I DID WATCH THE VIEW THAT DAY AND WAS NO WAY OFFENDED, I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL THAT THE COMMENTS WERE MADE TO SAY "WE TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT" BUT TO RECOGNIZE THE DIFFICULTY IN LOSING THAT MUCH WEIGHT WITH EXERCISING AND DIET ALONE. LET'S FACE IT WE KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE, IT IS WHAT MADE US CONSIDER WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY TO BEGIN WITH.I GUESS THATS WHY IT'S CALLED THE VIEW TO HEAR DIFFERENT OPINIONS, OF COURSE WE WON'T AGREE WITH ALL THE TIME.TO ME THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER ISSUES IN THE WORLD THAN FOR US TO GET MAD OVER A TV SHOW. :kiss2:

i currently drive ~5 hrs for adjustments ( im on #2 ) one way and since i hate to travel alone i drag my poor friend along and we drive 10 hrs in one day for a fill. i love the doc and his staff but now there is a new surgeon who is 30 minutes away who has agreed to accept me. my question is what if i go to him and he's not good or something happens? i am afraid that my old doc won't take me back, and as u know it is difficult to find a doc to accept u after having surgery in mexico.i'm really torn. the doc close to home is new to this area and has done bands and adjustments before but we don't have a lot of docs in this area who stick around long, and if he leaves or something im afraid there will be noone who will accept me. help? keep in mind i'm self pay... thanks jackye

can't tell any difference to be honest after the first fill of 1.5cc

Thats Great Angela Doing Much Better Than I Am And I Had My First Fill12-13
