    Lapband And Diabetes

    m1aman replied to lsj's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I believe diet is pretty important on ones need for meds if you are a type 2. Especially going low carb..... Weight loss, not as much.

    I am not a medical person....... I have been banded since Oct. I doubt you hurt anything.

    Don't you think you ladies are the only ones with boob problems. Mine have gone from "chubby pecs" to almost flapjacks.

    I have noticed my hair has become thinner the last couple of months or so. I was banded 10-03-11. So I am going to ask my lapband doc and my regular doc what they think abou tit. I hope it is something I can reverse.

    Do U Drink Out Of A Straw?!

    m1aman replied to Tahneesamson's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I don't remember my Dr. ever saying anything about straws. I drink from them all of the time with no problems. In fact after surgery the nurses brought me water with a straw for each meal as I stayed over night.

    Port Moving Around..

    m1aman replied to rachelcummings's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I have lost 60 lbs and my port has moved up..... or I guess my loose skin has moved down. BUT, I have not had any pain.

    I was in terrible pain (back) for two days and then it went away. Just like magic!

    Multivitamin

    m1aman replied to myjourneyagain's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Make sure you get a vitamin with Iron in it.

    My doc told me the band maker advises against nsaids, aspirins. He also told me no anti-inflammatories or steriods etc. That basically leaves me with the options of Tylenol or narcotics.
  17. m1aman
    Wow I have never heard anyone say anything like that before. I may be wrong, but my first impression is that he is not a very good surgeon if that is the case. I agree with everyone else...... find another doctor.
  18. m1aman
    I have to wonder if some people did any research before they elected to have this surgery.
  19. m1aman
    I have two fills...... a total of 6 cc in a 14cc band and I have no restriction yet. Getting tired of this dieting on my own stuff.

    Are Hiccups Normal?

    m1aman replied to tina duggan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Eating too fast or not chewing enough gives me the hiccups.

    Date...help With Dinner Decision??

    m1aman replied to Papillon Princess's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    If you tell him you had a "big lunch" he may wonder why since you knew you had a dinner date. Good luck on your date!

    Abdominal Exercises

    m1aman replied to lmwalter's topic in Fitness & Exercise

    That is a good question and something I will ask my doctor on my next visit.

    I have tried Nectar in the past and threw them out. Others have loved them, so who knows..............

    Paula Deen.....type 2 Diabetes

    m1aman replied to Banterwonder's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    I don't know if she has tried any kinds of diet or whatever. To me, WLS is a last resort way to lose weight.

    My doc uses a gel to numb the area, not a shot.
