  1. Good question, I got one next to my middle left insition. Hope someone chimes in
  2. I hope someone chimes in I'm 10 days post and mine does the same thing
  3. I was sleaved Tuesday the 14th , all of a sudden yesterday I started running fever. I started getting more fluid and finally this morning my fever broke. I think mine had more of be dehydrated.
  4. I was sleaved Tuesday and last night I could actually take more than a baby sip.
  5. Thanks for your replys. It's down to 98.9 this morning without meds. I'm sure hope that's what it is.
  6. I was sleaved Tuesday. Up till today I haven't had any fever. I have been trying to get more water in And I took some baby liquid fever reducer. It's dropped to 99 from 101.8. I'm hoping I was just dehydrated.
  7. I'm kinda watching it right now. I'm worried it might be a little dehydration.
  8. I was sleaved Tuesday morning.
  9. Well everything was going great till today ,,,, started running 101 fever. I called the dr and got his " backup". Which was completely useless. Told me to watch it. I ask him at what point do I go back to the hospital ,,,, all he could say was it kinda depends ???

  11. I got my revision Tuesday ,they let me come home yesterday. Everything is going fine but how long till u don't have to take these baby sips of water. There's no way ill ever get 64 ounces in like this I'm lucky to get 40.
  12. I haven't had one ounce of nervousness up till now. My revision is at 7:00 am tomorrow . All of a sudden I am a little nervous. Lol. Hope I don't get sick and dizzy like some. I can handle the pain. Not so much on being dizzy.
  13. Mine was liquid too. With exception I could eat a protein bar for breakfast and lunch. Been a long two weeks
  14. Well my surgery is Tuesday. I'm not sure it'll be put of my blood or not. I think quitting is harder than this two week liquid diet. !!!! In going bananas
  15. I'm on day 6 of 14 ,,,,, the hunger pains go away after about day 4. Along with "most " of the mental hunger pains. Lol. I'm actually trying to take it one day at a time. I get kinda overwhelmed if I think about having 8 days to go. Lol. Then 4 weeks after surgery. Geeeze I'm hungery !!!!! Lol
  16. Soooooooooo Copenhagen snuff is a yesssss or nooo ??? Lol
  17. I wish I wouldn't of read this thread. Lol. I use Copenhagen ( told the nurse) but she didn't even say anything about quitting ... I've never heard this before reading this thread. I have surgery on the 14th ,,,,,, is it the smoke and tat from cigs or the nicotine , if its nicotine I'm guessing snuff has an equal amount or more. On a side note , my life Insurence rep told me that nicotine stays n ur body from 3-6 months ,,. U would have to quit smoking for more than two weeks to not have it show up on there test. Js
  18. Everything was good for me except the EGD. ( where they run the tube through your nose to take pictures of your stomach . Wasn't a fan of that. Lol. The rest is just blood work X-rays and meeting with your diet consulting over Pre and post diets Nothing to it actually.
  19. I did my pre op today and I have my surgery on the 14th.
  20. Wow 12 hrs???? I would of freaked out. Lol
  21. Well my surgery date is the 14th of may. When I did the band there was 6 months of crap to deal with with my Insurence. ,,, sooooo I was beyond ready. But since in paying for it out if my pocket I walked in today and said how far back is scheduling ? They said the 14th and I said sign me up. Now I just hope I don't back out of it. I'm really ready to get rid of this band ,,, and actually have a good shot at losing weight and keeping it off.
  22. Hahaha, can't believe I didn't figure that one out. They finally got back with me 5 days later. They think it's cramping from me putting force from under the port. The said it doesn't happen much but it wasn't completely uncommon.
  23. My Dr is lacking the urgency that I'm needing. Lol. I don't know what it is. You know that feeling of your upper stomach when u over eat ? Well that upper part of my stomach locks down in what I feel is a cramp , but it's the whole width of my stomach , and it last for 3-4 minutes. I had one yesterday and the swelling is just now going down Very sore. I hope it's just lack of potassium I'm just guessing.
  24. That's what I'm worried about. I'm waiting for them to call me back.
