It took me a while to find it but i finally did.:clap2:. I live around the Bismarck/mandan Area and had my LB surgery done by Dr. Schmit. Although I didn't have a problem with the costs because my insurance company agreed to pay for it. I have not gone in for a group meeting afterwords... but I am on my 5-6 fill but one of them was so they could take some out. I'll be going in for my next check up on the 18th of june... On the 22nd I have to be in a wedding so hopefully I haven't lost too much I just had the dress refitted. But I probably have because I 've been helping my dad redo a mile of fence out on some property. I dont want to make the bride mad... But good luck to everyone!!

I found out that patience it the best thing, when mine opened up i could probably have fit a quarter in it, and it took longer than usual to heal. all I could do was put peroxide on it and tape a little piece of gauze over it to stop my shirt from going it it because I was back at school and I'm a mechanic. It healed after about 2 1/2 weeks it was very slow and I had to be careful. But now i have a really nasty scar there. but I was told by the doctor after all the scars have healed up and the stitches have been long gone to put aloe vera gel and gently massage it in, it will help break down the scar tissue and make it so it doesn't stick out as much, and after time it will fade.

As the title says I'm back home from my first week of college for my first LB check up... I REALLY NERVOUS!!!.... ANd Scared.... hoping all is going to go well and i can wait to have some meat with my scrambled eggs!!

First things first... This is kind of my blog of what is happening since my surgury if you do not want to read a blog, just dont bother reading my journal, because I'm just tracking how I feel and what is happening to me. Wasn't feeling so hot today, I had a stomach ache because I tried taking all of my meds today. I didn't crush the one because my doctor said it would be ok to take it as is, so we'll see how I feel later. Hopefully the stomach ache is just from being off of the medicine so long. But I'm learning ' No matter what, just think positive' , it makes the day seem a little better. Tomorrow I get to go shopping for supplies for when I go back to college! I'm hoping I'll be feeling ok, even though I strongly dislike shopping, it will be fun to see how I feel beings that school is coming up and I can't sit during my classes (there all lab classes so we don't get any chairs to sit on from 8am-3pm) I think a day full of stress filled shopping is sort of similar. Lets hope all goes well.

Well now its Jan. 3, 2007 and my incisions are healing very slowly but surely... I got to help take my puppy to the vet today, I felt so bad because now he's going to ingore me all day because of it, but he had to go, it was also the first car ride i've been on in a while, because the seat belts would rub on my stitches. So i was really excited! I know it sounds boring but it was fun for me because i haven't gone out in a while i just walk on the treadmill and do stuff around the house.

Yeah & it went away, I haven't had one in a few days I don't know what it is so i gave it a name (air lock). lol Hopefully I won't get anymore

I drove to my LB doctors today, and he looked at my incisions that are opening and he said they look great they are healing well and that no infections have entered my body or my band so I was excited to hear that. But he did tell me to continue to wash them out with peroxide 3x a day. but he said if i have any complications to call him immediatly, and that he would see me on the 15th of Jan on my first check up

I got to see my boyfriend today, he is my main emotional support, but since we are on Xmas break for college i dont get to see him very often because he lives a couple hours away. But he saw me for the first time today, and he stopped and looked at me and gave me a hug then he said "WOW you've lost alot of weight I can tell. And you look thinner already." (although i've only lost 15 lbs since he last saw me) I was so happy to hear that, and instead of walking on the treadmill today we went for a walk around town. It was nice to see him, he has really helped with my pre op nerves and post op nerves. I dont know how to thank him enough.
