what to bring to hospital
Fixerupper replied to ********'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Someone suggested an eye mask and earplugs so we might actually get some rest in the noisy hospital. I will be there three days so I bought some -
Hi, thanks for the reply, it always helps to talk to someone.....I can honestly say that I was not hungry the first month. I had a fill on June 25 Just 1 cc and I am feeling a little hungry towards the end of the day and I also notice the Slim fast does'nt seem to hold me as long. I go back for another fill on the 25th of this month. I have only lost 2 lbs this week so I guess it will slow down. hey listen 10lbs is nothing to sneeze at.....as long as we are going in right direction hooray for us!!!! I have the same size band as yours. The fills are not bad at all. mine felt no worse than a mosquito bite....Gooooood luck and keep in touch..BEV

How long can I expect my hair to keep falling out for? I am almost 4 months post op and my hair is falling out for the past couple of weeks. I am lucky I suppose as I had thick long hair but it is now beginning to look a lot thinner but I am worried about how much more I can expect to loose.

okay ladies so maybe its me but i figured i would throw this topic out and see if anyone can relate. Ever since my surgery right around my period week i have been getting really strange almost weird dreams that leave me in a confused state when i wake up. They are very vivid and i can remember almost all of them like it actually happened in real life. i know they didnt happen tho because they are just too weird for real life. Last night i dreamed that some guy came up to my fiance and cut him in the face with a razor blade so i slapped the guy in the face with a bag full of sauce and meatballs. the night before was my mom and i running this long path with a pool at the end but instead of jumping into the pool we jumped into the air and started flying but then my mom was hit in the face with a goose and she goes "that dang goose bump" then i woke up. and when i wake up i feel so confused and dazed. anyone else going though this or is it just me??

I am so sorry for all the struggles you are dealing with. To be honest, it all just sucks!. Hopefully things will turn around for you soon. I pray that you don't get too discouraged at the beginning of your lapband journey due to all the changes and stress. I know the first week after surgery, I questioned my actions.... a lot. Now I do not regret or question it at all. With all the hormone changes from the recent hysterectomy and the meds and stress on your body from the upcoming surgery remember to take time for yourself. Hang in there, I wish you the best!

female only Scared to start taking birth control again...(Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo)
Excited4Change posted a topic in The Gals' Room
Okay so prior to my surgery in January, I had been on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for about a year and a half. During that time I also started college and gained more than the normal freshman 15. So my concern now is, how much of that weight may have come from the birth control as opposed to the whole freshman 15 deal? Since my surgery I have not had a period until this week and am supposed to take my first pill on the sunday after the start of my period which is TODAY!!! I am terrified about my weight loss slowing down or stopping or even gaining weight when going back on the pill....I know there are a few threads regarding birth control but none really specifically about Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, so if anyone has any experience with this issue or advice it would be greatly appriciated!!! -

Off Topic...s***t im in so much pain!!
juliegeraci replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in The Gals' Room
I would make your appointment with the dentist today and just ride it out. Advil is good and a vicodin or 2 will not hurt. Good luck this week. -
Had the Lapband in September 2008 lost 185lbs over the next 2 years. In oct of 2012 Lapband was removed because it was tearing into my stomach. I lost 8 pints of blood and spent almost 3 weeks in the hospital. Now I have to live without it and its really hard. I'm only up 8lbs from my "normal weight" but I'm starting to slip in old habitats.

I know this has brought up before, but I'm doing again. I had my surgery on April 17, 2018. Maybe 4 days later I started my period, I'm on the pill and was only half way through my pack. Yes, I missed 1 or 2 because of the hospital and the night home but really? My period lasted WELL into May, I think I had it maybe 3 weeks? I should say I'm 38 and my tubes are tied I'm only on the pill because weird crap like this happened before but periods were like 6 weeks 2 weeks off then back on, tested for early menopause nope, so that's why the birth control and it's been good for year and a half. JUST had my period around June 7-10, now it's kinda back like you had it in middle school! Brown and gross! Wtf?; That's not even a month?! I am consistent, and compliant. She'll look up in the books. Anyone have this deal? Ugh, very annoyed!

I'm 3 weeks post op and yes I took my birth control with me and took it there. They never said anything to me about my pills being less effective after surgery if I got preg right now I would be pretty upset, being preg and trying to lose weight don't go we'll together plus I don't wanna deplete a child of nutrition cuz I'm unable to absorb food.

Stomach pains
Isabelmonster replied to Isabelmonster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did on Friday he said protein shakes and some acid reflux medicine. He said if it continues through the week then he will send me to the hospital to get some lab work and stuff done. I do have to be persistent but I’m also scared of like hospitals at the moment but if it has to get done it has to get done! 👍🏻 -
I could drink water right after surgery. In my docs office this is the norm. With a new stomach I feel we all cautious at first . Over time you will drink more and more. After a couple of weeks I could chug water to a certain extent. You will also find your diebets will receed fast. Get ready and hold on tight its a crazy ride at times but worth it.

March 9th sleevers
blacktee92675 replied to jnc102012's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was also sleeved Monday. The first two days were tough. Couldn't get down more than about 100 calories, and couldn't poop. I think I've got a decent routine now. - 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm - Protein shake mixed with 4oz Water and 4oz skim milk. - Sip mixture of three parts water and one part juice or Gatorade throughout the day. - 4oz prune juice before bed. Still not easy, but I getting the protein I need without much discomfort. Guilty pleasure for the day, I opened a jar or Peanut Butter just for a smell. :-) -
A few weeks before surgery I had to remove my nuva ring and I ended up getting my period twice in a month. I havent gotten my period yet and I'm 6 days late - so naturally I'm freaking out!! Hubby and I have been extremely safe- actually using condoms - something we haven't done in God knows how long !! Lol - I'm just freaking and needed to vent !

Cervidae replied to jenlovestim's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
You've come to the right place. I'm 11.5 weeks out, doing well. How have things been for you so far? -
Oh man, I can relate. Four months post-op and I feel nauseated more than half of the time that I eat anything. It's totally hit or miss. I can eat a particular food and feel OK afterwards, and the next time I eat it I feel like I'm going to hurl. I also feel like there's a rock in my esophagus almost all the time. Talked to my surgeon's office and my nutritionist this week, and I'm going to start taking Pepcid to see if it helps. They had me on Omeprazole for three months post-op, and these problems really didn't start until I was done with that. I think my entire digestive tract is just a lot more sensitive than it used to be. @LisaMc47, if you feel like you can't handle solid food, try some protein shakes or drinks, if you can handle them. Sometimes I just have to resort to that, especially since eating solid protein seems to be one of my worst triggers. Also it's true, your relationship to food changes a lot. For me, I don't really take any joy in eating, even the things that I really like, and I think it's because feeling sick after eating more than half the time has conditioned me not to want to eat. Good luck, and I hope you feel better.

I’m having a bit of an episode tonight. This hasn’t been an easy journey so far. I got revised 5/27 and was in the hospital another 3 nights this week. One for a huge hematoma, it happens. 2 nights to repair some scar tissue, a very fast healer the doc said as it was twisting and I was vomitting bile and had a sour stomach. He went and repaired it. I feel gassy today being home. Trying to drink as much as I can but I just can’t do it. Even with the sleeve I had an issue with liquids. Especially water. Tonight I took two gas pills and within an hour now I vomited them right up. Omg! So scary. Here we go again. I’m so afraid. Did I make a mistake by getting the RNY. Will this be my life now moving forward. I recall the sleeve being easier. I’m so anxious tonight so excuse me if I’m rambling. I’m so sad. Why did i do this. Was it worth it. Should I have lived with the constant daily nausea and heartburn :-(( I

Hi Pookybear. No you are definitely not alone. I had the problem just a lil bit before surgery due to a hysterectomy (ovaries remain though for right now). BUT now it is a big problem. It hurts just to walk around and I also have extremely hard Water at home. I haven't really looked into something for it, but I may need to. I have been using Vagisil, but it is such a pain to have to keep applying though the day. I see a gynecologist in a few weeks for ovary problems and I am going to ask her what can be done about the severe dryness. I will let you know. I have other health issues and sometimes don't remember to follow up, so shoot me a message or something if I forget to let you know. Tell your man it's not him. My husband thought this at first, when I initially started changing after the hysterectomy, but now we just keep our room fully stocked up on lube (lol). And, please know that it is NOT your fault and don't let this stop you from reaching your goal. You are doing great!
