Hi Group,
This is my first post to this site . .. it was recommended by Laura (my Michigan band buddy). She said you were all very helpful .. .well I'm looking for a little assitance, if you please. I was just banded 7/15/10 and am doing really well. I'm losing consistenly and have not even needed a fill yet. This past week I started having problems with acid reflux. I used to have it pretty bad before surgery, but not after surgery. I've gone back to 2 Prevacids / day and even added Tums and GasX . . not getting it under control. Any thoughts anyone? I don't want the acid to damage my band, plus I just need to feel better! Thanks everyone!

Anyone out there who has been or is going to be banded by Dr. Ringley in Saginaw, MI? I've been working with him and have a surgery date in July . . .everything has been great so far.

I have started doing a semi-liquid diet also. I don't need to start the full liquid diet until July 5th, but wanted to get a start. It's going ok. I do the Protein Shake for bkfst and supper and do a regular lunch. It has actually helped me sleep better because I'm having such a light supper.
SAGGY SKIN

Hey Kathy, I had surgery in July and have lost almost 75 pounds so far . .. I was also very concerned about saggy skin - I do not want another surgery to correct cosmetic issues . . I have a LOT of allergies to antibiotics and have had some bad reactions, so just don't want to risk it. I have been walking, walking, walking a lot. At first I could only walk 1/4 mile, now I can walk 2 or more miles. I walk every night and my skin is tightening up as I lose weight. I am still concerned about BOB (my Big Old Belly), and I don't know if that will shrink enough or not, but so far so good. Good luck!
