My wife has been visiting her mother in Brooklyn for the past two weeks and so, of course, I overdid it here at LBT. So I am going on a vacation (from posting) to catch up on the housework. I have been doing my share of the work, some of her share and have had to baby sit my 6 year old grand-daughter Brooklyn, but my wife is going to expect a lot more to be accomplished when she gets home Tuesday, so I had better get to work. I have to get in the shower to get ready for church, go to church and then come home to start laundry, dishes, etc. Bye. I will miss my many friends and even those that don't like my "w:rolleyes:rds of wisd:rolleyes:m".

honestly - HOW MANY times can you get up to pee in 1 night?
juno610 replied to losingjusme's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Yep, right around 28 weeks it came back with a vengeance! At least now I am so tired I don't have any trouble falling back asleep! -
Honestly i run four miles 6 days a week, and I try to increase my time. Run on average 85-90 miles a month. If you can do a 10K in less than an hour, than you can run a half. Just go out one day and run 8 miles, than 9 so on and so on. It just becomes repetition at that point and yeah you will slow down on your first one, but then you'll know what to expect. Until you run one, you really don't know what its like. The first one I ran was a shocker. 13.16 miles is far, and two hours of constant cardio is hard, but it feels so good to get the medal around your neck. Just keep going you'll get it. I say the best motivator is spending the $50 and sign up for one. Then you'll be sure to run it.

Lizzie - I've found that I have to measure out my food before I start eating. If I only have a cup in front of me and the rest of the food is put away out of sight, I don't have the heart to get it out and dig in to get more even if I feel hungry still. I dunno - that's just what works for me. And yes...I may only be 2 1/2 weeks out from my surgery, but I do know hunger and that urge to want more!! And this is stomach-grumbling, non-head-hunger.

Congratulations! I know how excited you are and you will be so surprised how fast the time flies. I was banded two weeks ago today and it seems like only yesterday I went to my first seminar. Good luck!

And this week the scheduling girl is going to call me to set up my pre-admission testing and surgery dates!! I cannot wait!! Just thought I'd share!! i just wanna hug everybody I see!!!

I know the last week before surgery I was ready to jump out of my skin! I think everyone in December (who really wants surgery) will be moving up because there are those who will postpone "until after the holidays". So with any luck, maybe you will be moved up again. How lucky you are not to have a pre-op diet--but I must tell you that it prepared me for post-op and the band's rules. Best wishes to you in your upcoming surgery! :eek:

Thanks all of you.. I feel a bit better today than yesterday but still have major back pain & wind in shoulders, keep getting bubbles go up stomach and through band but they don't make it out as a burp... they really hurt! Also my port wound feels like it is putting lots of pressure on something.. feels really tight but that could be the dressings - I find they pull!! Today I sneezed - god that hurt... I am so scared that it will damage or move the band! I am walking around the house and not lying down but my back ache is so horrible I could cry! Don't you just wish you could be knocked out for the first week and wake up healed! I never thought it would be so painful... I'm gutted because i keep reading about all the people who felt amazing straight after & had no wind etc... I wonder why I have so much pain! Could it be to do with the type of band ? I had a APS (Small) - the surgeon told me it was quite restrictive & tight already on me. I just hope that it gets better soon! I am scared to even drink my fluids cuz it makes the wind worse....... I've tried deflatine, Rennie, walking and all sorts! aghhhh how annoying! :smile2:

Hi Sallieanne What you are feeling is all normal, i had bad wind and a pain in my left shoulder for a few days, just keep taking pain killers every 4 hours cause this will really help. Give it a week and you will feel loads better. Welcome to band life Debbie

Yeah i have been on purees since Wednesday of last week. it is nice to be off clear liquids but is starting to get boring and i am craving something to chew... I had some very runny oatmeal today for breakfast and that was delish, probably shouldnt have done it but it didnt hurt. I dont know how you can be only only protein shakes and clear liquids for so long i was really crying on my 5th day of clear liquids...Good luck!

Mt. Carmel, Ohio, Dr. Patricia Choban
barbarossa replied to dorothyb's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I just had my consult with Dr. Curry and his staff today, and I have to say that I'm very pleased with my experience thus far. They are very quick to respond to questions, and it didn't take 6 weeks to get in to see them (which was my experience with some of the programs here in Cbus). Dr. Curry is about to open an office here for fills (somewhere around Drs West, I understand). I'm planning on getting banded mid-Nov. I'm a self-payer, and the program for Dr Curry costs $13k, including two years worth of follow-up and fills. In response to Dorothy's original question, I'm having to do 4 weeks of Medifast prior to surgery due to my BMI, though I do hear that 2 weeks is typical. I suspect what Dr Choban would require depends on your individual health situation. -
... Dear stall.. you can't see it but I am giving you the finger. Indeed, I am. Sigh!

Sleeved 10/21.. large incision
SDH replied to Seela's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a little over 7 weeks out and my big incision is still a little sore, I think it is from the muscle inside still healing. It doesn't hurt constantly but if I do something stupid it lets me know it's still there! -
Exactly when does hair loss stop?
AZhiker replied to loridee11's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My hair loss started at 4 months and went on for another 4-5 months. From what I've read, the loss is from the dead hair getting pushed out by the new hair that is starting to regrow. My hair got quite thin but is now back to normal volume. BTW, I started mega doses of Biotin at 2 weeks post op, and it didn't help. Don't waste your money. -
Tomorrow is 2 weeks until my surgery! I'm started the all protein liver shrinking diet. I'm so excited to have a jump start for starting 2013 new. I'm getting married in May 2014 and I am so excited for the changes I will see between now and then. Wish me luck!

Lap Band Surgery two weeks before wedding?
HeatherO replied to Mariasha's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I would recommend banding afterwards. Marriage is a major life event filled with stresses and last minute errands. You really want to be able to focus on the day and your new wife, not the liquid diet and feeling run down. Even if it seems like it will not be a big deal to you, it will also effect your fiance as well who will be worrying about you on top of the stress of a wedding. Afterall, pushing it out a few weeks or month will not make a major difference in your life overall since banding is a long term solution . . . but marriage is a (hopefully) once in a lifetime event that you really want to devote full time and energy towards making it a great experience. -
Lap Band Surgery two weeks before wedding?
amberstar replied to Mariasha's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yeah I would wait. I felt fine after about a week of complete rest. And with a wedding coming up, you won't have time to rest! And you'll be on liquids, that means no wedding cake!! No food at your reception or honeymoon. I just got married last year, and I couldn't even imagine dealing with surgery and doc apppointments at that time. But good luck with whatever you decide, hope you have a wonderful wedding!! -
lol.. boy.. i think you need a clone machine. lol. i think you are doing a marvellous job. Way to go. REgarding the steri strips and your skin reaction... i had that as well. in fact i came up in watery blisters that were huge. plus a very red inflamed area around each one. It took a few weeks for the reaction to die down. i was using calamine lotion on mine and it helped a lot with the itch. theres not a lot else you can do really. dont try and remove any blisters or skin. antihistimines are good... plus a lotion like i used is very good. i still get a bit itchy, 2 months out, but i can have a little scratch now and its not hurting anything. Good luck. i hope your mum is better soon. my mum is pretty much full on at the moment as well.

New to board and need a mentor
readyforlife replied to ann_marie93's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am new to the forum and am being banded December 13th. I am 30, live in Texas, have three elementary-aged children, just finished my bachelor's degree, and am beginning a new full-time job on December 20th. I am so excited to be making these positive steps in my life. I would love to hear about your experience and your journey with the band, ladies! -
Yeah, I think you might be too tight, but it's only been a day right? As long as you can get liquids down, I would give it a week of just being on liquids. You might really loosen up in a day or two. That said, eggs are also known to be a common problem among bandsters. So, stay on liquids/mushies for a few days. As long as those are going okay, go to more solid food. It may just be that you are swollen from the fill or don't tolerate eggs. Both are common. jayme

Mine is very bad in the morning. I can barely drink water and I've gotten sick on milk. My friend suggested it may have something to do with being horizontal at night and vertical during the day. I'm starting to think that has something to do with it because I was sick one day about a week ago and took a three hour nap - dinner was then impossible. I don't know exactly what the band looks like but could it smoosh a little while we are lying down? I know I wasn't dehydrated because I'm very careful with that part.
