just getting started on my journey. has anyone had experience with any doctors on long island. have an appt with dr. geiss on nov. 20th. have alot of unanswered questions. can you take medications just as you did before the surgery? do they metabolize differently. i take high blood pressure meds, antibiotics when needed, tylenol pm, when needed -- can you swollow them? :mad2:
Hi just wondering if its time for a fill. Banded last july and lost weight consistently till now. Told the PA in my docs office that I still have trouble with certain foods and she said....oh no you actually need an unfill???? i told her I never got a fill but she wanted to remove whatever was in the band from surgery. I refused. I was feeling good....eating and got stuck a few times. I think this a pretty normal with the band but she said I should be able to eat everything in smalleor quantities. Still can't handle steak or pasta or dry meats. now i stopped losing any weight and think I might need a fill. What do you think?
