    3rd Time IS a charm!!!

    That's great to hear. I've had 2 fills so far (the 2nd was 3 days ago) and I don't feel any restriction so I'm thinking it's going to take me at least 3 fills. I have an out of town business trip to Denver scheduled for the week of 9/15 so I don't want to risk getting a 3rd fill before the trip and then experiencing overtightness while I'm out of town so I was thinking I will wait until I get back from my trip to schedule the 3rd fill.
  2. I am 10 days out since my balloon procedure and have lost nothing. ZERO. I am maintaining 1100 calories/day diet with protein at every meal. Eggs, shakes, fish, fruit, yogurt...is pretty much all I have eaten. I had my thyroid removed 2 years ago due to cancer and am wondering if the balloon has messed with my meds and have crashed my metabolism or something. Am having blood work done later this week to figure this out. Anyone else have no thyroid and the balloon? I would love to hear your story.

    laprascopic surgery?

    I think they are all pretty much done that way unless there is a reason that they can not do it that way. It is safer to do laprascopic surgery than to cut you open and they prefer to do it. I had 4 small incisions and 1 larger one where the camera went in. I didn't have to take any pain meds after leaving the hospital. I did sneeze one day and felt some pain about a week after surgery and think I just pulled a stitch. I am 5 weeks out on Monday and I feel great and my incisions look really good. Good luck to you!

    L.A.S.

    nothing to worry about, its not as bad as it may seem at first. I had all the same worries. Myself being a fat man that craves sweets, its wierd because I dont get the same cravings for sugar like I used to. Dont get me wrong, I still do a little but I save that for saturdays. I still watch my calories but I have one dessert scheduled for every saturday so I will have something to look forward to, something I can work hard for all week and reward myself. Yes its only a weight watchers desert, but still. I do have an appetite still but its useless when you can only eat a few bites and get full so quick. Kind of wierd for me and Im still learning but ive had to change my whole mindset. I used to worry about not getting enough food when I ate out. Now I have to worry about buying too much because of how little I eat. Picture the whole thing like this, when you get on semi solid foods, you will probably only be able to eat as much as a 2 year old at one time. Its a trade off, yeah you cant eat finish a full meal anymore, but the compliments I get outweigh that issue any day of the week. You'll do fine. Stay on this site and you will recieve nothing but support. This site is a Godsend for us losers lol!!!!!
  5. Hey everyone, Tomorrow is my last appt. before I can get surgery date. I'm so nervous right now. I have a few ??? 's... lol 1. I am 212lbs( some ask me why do I need the surgery) but how long would the pre and post op diet be for? 2. How long does it take for insurance to send approval ? 3. Is there a lot of pain. I'm so stressed. My boss ordered me some new uniforms that were extra tight. So I have Atleast a month to try and get in them. I'm hoping that the Gastric Sleeve suits me..

    New Lapband Member with PCOS

    That's awesome. Thanks for the positive boost. Week 2 has been really rough on me so I'm hoping next week will be better. I haven't lost any weight since being banded but my nurse said that is probably from not having enough calories and the reduced activity. Thanks for the reply

    Tattoo

    What do you mean by "when it's OK?" Like how far out from surgery? And on your foot?! Ouch! I had 3 tats prior to VSG and got a 4th one in honor of my brother about 1 year postop. It's runs from just under my collar bone to up around my shoulder. He died 4 years ago but took me that long to come up with the perfect design.

    breakfast

    I am on my 4th fill and can't do breakfast. I do protein shakes and if I want to eat have to wait aleast 2hrs after being awake. And those day I try to eat even mush like oatmeal I struggle the whole day with eating and barely get my 1200 calories in. I really don't get it. Who else has hard time eating breakfast? I miss it sometimes what some healthy eggs or oatmeal. It blows. I also haven't seen any weight lose in 2 weeks. I bugs what is up with my body. I work out I eat healthy what is up?
  10. Anyone have a suggestion regarding a good, quality, ACCURATE, scale? I have a digital one...not even sure where I got it...but you can step on it 3 different times and get 3 different results. Thank you!

    wrinkles

    ​I just started the Neutrogena one about a week ago. My doctor told me to try it. I did try the CVS one a few months ago and it made me itchie around the eyes so I returned it. If I ever have the money, face lift, body lift and arms get done. So you have pain for a few weeks but you come out looking great, or I hope you do.

    No wonder I feel better..

    Hi Liza, I'm only 4 1/2 weeks out post op and I was told no heavy lifting over 10 lbs for the first 6 weeks, please be careful I'd hate to see your band slip or your port flip, don't forget this is the healing period. Congrats on your weight loss, that's fantastic!!

    It's back to work for me!

    I am two weeks post-op, and time to go back to work! I work in an inbound call center for a telecommunications company, so my job is not physically demanding. I walk in the door and realize that the whole office is having a baby shower for one of my co-workers, which means FOOD is everywhere! You name it, it was there...meatballs, baked ziti, salad, baked ham,red beans and rice, chips, and desserts galore! Oh dear.....to top it off, it's a full moon, and we all know that the full moon brings out the best in us all (LOL) and we were so busy today. I was happy I had brought in all my own food for the day, as well as my heating pad - I am not used to sitting for such long periods without moving around! However, I made it through the day, although I am really ready for bed! What an exhausting day! But I will say, that getting back into my routine is good for me!

    It's back to work for me!

    I still have some pain around my port - on the inside, which my doctor says is normal, since there are stitches holding it in place. I ended up going back to the surgeon today, because one of my incisions was not healing well, and they wanted to take a look at it. After a swab of the area (it was still "weeping" yucky stuff) and a quick test, it seems that I am having an allegic reaction to the dissolving sutures! Who knew!?! So, I am on an antibiotic, just in case, and have to put warm compresses and ointment on my incisions 3 times a day. Not a bad outcome - I was so worried that there was something really wrong with my incision! Today, I have to say that I feel like myself - I feel like I did before surgery. I know that sounds strange, but I do. I am so happy to finally feel "normal". I have to be honest, returning to work was exhausting, but, now, 4 days into it, I am better. I sleep very well at night, and I have just made this committment to myself that I NEED this, I need to be thinner, and I WILL be successful. I am scheduled for my first fill on 12/2 - the week after Thanksgiving - which means just under a month more in "Bandster Hell" - Hang in there my friends. It's all good!

    risks of anethesia?

    I don't mean to scare you at all - but someone posted on here a few weeks ago about their dear friend who just went to get the lapband - and died from a heart attack while undergoing anesteisa - again - just wanted to be honest with what I know - I will try to find the link - it was very sad.

    2 Days Into 2 Week Pre-op....

    The countdown is on....11 days to surgery! I have my pre-op appointment tomorrow~it can't come soon enough! I am so excited! I was instructed to do the "slim fast" shake diet or drink two shakes a day and eat one meal. I have found a chocolate shake that I actually like. I mix it with skim milk and ice. Tomorrow I have decided to add a little bit of vanilla yogurt. We will see how that goes. I have been a little emotional today. I am not quite sure why. I think I spent tooooo much time worrying and thinking about the surgery. I have my fears but its a very important step that I have to take. I am so sick of being unhappy with my weight. This is a step in the right direction. Thank you for all the blogs. I really enjoy reading everyone's views and everyone's experiences. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your support and positive words!

    Loose rings?

    Many Jewelers will give you a ring guard for free. Mine is very loose now. 20 years ago when I last was at this weight, mine fell off in my sleep in a hotel bed in Cape Girardeau Mo. Fortunately, I discovered it 8 hours later under the bed. If I press on the bottom of my wedding ring I have about 3/8" room. It slides off and on easy now. I had to stop wearing it and buy a cheap band to wear the last couple of years.

    Have you been sleeved in Alabama

    I am not sure how many sleeves he has done but he is doing more of these I think then bypass and bands now. I was only in the hospital for one day-insurance approved one day. I was at the hospital 5:30 am for surgery and left the next morning by around 10 am. I was off work for one week-I have a sit down customer service job working from home. They have a website http://www.alabamawls.com/ you can check out. If you want to send me a private message you can email me at kelly.stricker@att.net.

    Need Some Advise

    I have a 14cc band. I had my surgery in November and I have had 3 fills. The last fill put me at 9cc's. Since my last fill I can not eat much more than 1/4 cup of food at a time. Some days I can eat more but other days I barely eat anything. Some days I struggle to drink Water. I PB a lot...not everyday but a lot. I also have horrible heartburn. My question is do you think my band is too tight? I am considering having a little bit taken out. Is 1/4 cup of food normal? I eat good healthy food but just not much. I've lost 54lbs and I'm afraid that if I have it loosened I will stop losing. Any advise is appreciated

    Lipo tips

    Hi: You may want to post your question on makemeheal.com There are alot more plastic surgery patients there. Personally, when I had my tummy tuck I had some lipo too. I had to wear a compression garment for a long time. I'm pretty sure that is standard practice with a tummy tuck, not sure about with just lipo. When my surgeon did the lipo she did it in the mons area too and that part was very painful for a couple of weeks. Hope all is well with you. Sue

    New here. Needing support.

    Hi Dar and welcome to LBT..you have come to the right place for support. We are like on big extended happy family here. Lots of love around this place. As for me I felt great the day after surgery but as others have said we all are different. I was able to feel my port under my skin if I was to push down on it..it did not stick out or anything. Every doctor has their own post op diet they want you to follow so when you are able to eat solids is up to your doctor but I can not imagine it being longet then 3 weeks. Most have 1-2 weeks of liquids then a week of mushy foods then onto solid foods. Best of luck to you

    Pre Op Milk And Yoghurt Diet

    Every doctor seems to have a different protocol. Mine calls for NO milk products for the two weeks leading up to it. Crazy how they are all different. Good luck with your journey!
