m1aman replied to Ami Faught Crittenden's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I take a Flintstone with Iron and a Centrum Silver chewable. FWIW most chewable Vitamins are not as complete as the regular tabs. -
Vacation Either Before Or After Surgery
m1aman replied to farmgirl04's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is definitely about you! You only get to do this once. Edited to add................... if I was your husband I would stay home and support you during this time. No offense meant. -

To Stay Or Not To Stay.....
m1aman replied to OldMomOf3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stay at the hospital so they can look after you, if you can work it out. I am a little surprised your doctor is giving you a choice before surgery. Mine waited until afterwards to make the determination. -
Aircraft and movies. Two things I have avoided for sure. Last movie I saw was Jurassic Park, in 1993 I believe. Last flight was in 1999 and I barely fit in first class.

Port Pain Normal Vs. Abnormal
m1aman replied to pbmls223's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All I can say is that I didn't have any port pain. I had lots of back pain, but no port pain. I don't even remember it being tender to the touch. Though I am sure it was for a least a few days. It wouldn't hurt to make a phone call and talk to the nurse. Let her decide if it is worth mentioning to the doctor. Just my view. Hope you feel better. -

When I post on the forums this is what I get under my avatar to the left of the post. Group: Members Posts: 211 posts Topics: 9 0 warning points Gender: Male Patient Info:View my profile As you see it no longer shows my surgeon. What it does show is "0 warning points." Why? Can these two things be fixed? Thanks, PS: why does it no longer show the date joined?

Dr Said Nothing And Not Requiring Multi-Vitamin

Yes You Can Drink And Eat At The Same Meal Time
m1aman replied to Helen Bauzon's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
I do drink while I eat. It is my weakness. I was banded last Oct and I have had a single incident where it came back up immediately. Other than that, no problems, and my ticker shows how much weight I have lost. Granted it is a slow weight loss compared to some others. But I am content with it so far. Like many of you I have made so many changes to my diet. If only I could defeat this one last thing................ -
I had tons of back pain for 2-3 days after surgery and then is just magically went away. Hang in there bud. It gets easier.
