It has just been a long day with the same questions over and over. It really would help if folks did a search on the topic of their question and read previous posts before starting another thread.

You should do whatever your doctor and nutritionist recommend.

Day 3 and I feel a little dizzy
CHEZNOEL replied to BeeKipp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you still on pain medication or nausea meds? Either of these can cause that fuzzy feeling. Also, if you are sitting more than usual, it could be hyper-static blood pressure. Try standing still for a few seconds when you get up to walk around and that may help. -

Lapband question with upcoming surgery
CHEZNOEL replied to diane1964's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Agreed.... put me out! -
Give it time. Most have several fills before the band makes a significant difference. It is all about changing your lifestyle and no depending on the band to do the work.
-
Make your commitment or don't have the surgery. You really should not do it if you can't control yourself. Try counseling for while first. The band only works if you do.
-
I know how you feel, but trust me... I will not kill you and it will pass! (pardon the pun) Better days are coming!

Very confused about lapband and reason for it
CHEZNOEL replied to seeme1954's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The lap band is a journey, not a destination. It is with us for the rest of lives. It does not have a separate will, it is up to us to provide the motivation and work to help it help us! -
They are living under the misconception that you can lose weight and keep it off with diet and exercise. Not so! They probably are trying to make you feel better about yourself, but only you can do that by losing the weigh and starting a new lifestyle. Stay positive on you commitment.

Surgery is less than 1 hour.

So discouraged and I just need some support
CHEZNOEL replied to amygibson82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

what is allowed in the pre op liquid diet
CHEZNOEL replied to clarerosa's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Uhhh... Liquids maybe that why it is called a liquid diet. The pre-diet is for surgery prep and the post-diet is for healing. Why have the surgery if you can't do a liquid diet for a few weeks. It is really ot that tough! -
Lapband Just Did Not Work For Me
CHEZNOEL replied to womanof1000secrets's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Floridays is never mean, but she has been darned successful! We could all learn things from her. Why is that when someone posts the honest opinion, which you ask for by coming here, you find it easier to slam them than to listen thoughtfully. Soon this will be a coddle only forum, and no one will benefits from the experience successful bandster have had. Just Sayin'! We need the balance! -
Possible gall stone?

Varies by practice and how many people they have in the queue.

Had to wear belts when I started... you can get a shoe shop to punch new holes for you.
