Dr. James Ward in Arlington, Tx is an excellent ps.. I recently had a breast reduction and I am very pleased with the results. He is located at thu USMD Hospital.

one of my favorite songs to work out is the cha cha slide. You're basicly following instructions from dj and it is a workout.

I was also banded a week ago and am experiencing the same thing. I took some glycolax which is a prescribed laxative...waiting on it to work...good luck

StephC, I am actually very,very :hungry: but otherwise I am doing fine..thanks. I have doc appt tomorrow to have staples removed...tomorrow will be 1 week. when did you all start the soups...i am so looking forward to that stage

It takes a lot of willpower and dedication. It was pure torture for me on Xmas day when everyone was eating the dinner that I helped prepare and I was sipping on broth. I had to do a lot of praying and a lot of talking myself out of trying anything. As hard as it was it would have been worse if I had tasted food that I couldn't have....never liked being teased...hang in there guys...can't change what's done..everyday is a new day...just try to commit yourselves to a fresh start and pray a lot

hi prosebud and welcome...you are doing a great thing by recommitting yourself to the band..

I was banded on 12/21...I am 5'0 and 207 pounds with high blood pressure. I am looking forward to losing the weight and being a healthier and happier person..my goal is 130 and i'm looking forward to share my journey with my fellow bandsters

Hi everyone, I was banded on 12/21..My preop weight was 207. I had the gas pains also but was relieved by gas-x. I was dehydrated from doing too much during xmas holiday and not taking in enough fluids. That was a wake-up call for me. I am now resting and taking in the fluids so that I can heal and looking forward to sharing this journey with my fellow bandsters jannmack

It is 542a and I've been awake for about an hour. I was dehydrated yesterday. I was so busy trying to fix Xmas dinner for my family that I didnt take the time to eat/drink the necessary fluids. That won't happen again. It has been 5 days since surgery and even though I researched the lap band surgery thoroughly, nothing could really prepare me for the real deal. One oz every 20minutes is a very new process. This is a new journey but I am truly blessed and grateful that I have family and friends that are cheering me on. I have a long hard road but I am so ready.
