Hiccups are part of the program. Severe hiccups may cause your muscles to tense up, and that can pull on the port. I think you are fine, but I would mention it to the doc next visit!

Question About Consultation
CHEZNOEL replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
No need to see the doc prior to consultation, in my opinion. The seminar will give you more questions to ask the doc! Read all you can in advance. -
Getting my Lap Band REMOVED today - And here's my story behind it(pics included)
CHEZNOEL replied to jessicakolman's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Good luck Jessica, so sorry for your problems. -
I think Jean was pretty clear. Allergan is selling the Lap Band division. Whoever buys it will also buy responsibility for long term. I don' here much about erosion from people who follow the basic rules. I don't feel dumped by the way. I still have a weight loss practice with competent medical professionals to guide me.

I am a cat person myself! Dogs are too needy, like me and someone has to win!

Learning is tough but it gets easier and I love the feedback!

Goals are good!

I have no problems with full sized vitamins, but did need to change to calcium citrate minis. CVS has a good generic and they are frequently BOGO!

Keep up the good work. We are pulling for you and all of us as well!

A great milestone! Congrats. Careful with the omelet. You still have to chew, chew, chew in small bites! II learned the hard way. Took my first bite of scrambled eggs and immediately had pain. Just cause it soft doesn't mean you don't need to chew! Trust me on that!

Do the test!

No Steak, Steak, Then No Steak - What The ???
CHEZNOEL replied to NoMoBand's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I find I need even smaller bites of steak depending on the cut. I have more problems with hamburger. I guess I think it is already ground up and don't chew it enough. I have most of my problems with pulled pork. -
What type of sweetener are you using? Some of these can cause diarrhea. .

Best wishes! If we can help, give a shout!

Some of my best friends and neighbors are BP. It does not change the person you are. Good luck on your journey.

At A Stand Still. Help!!!
CHEZNOEL replied to Msdropinoff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I decided to weigh weekly, cause I stress over mini ups and downs. I did weigh daily for a bit when I first got to "onederland" cause I just loved seeing the "1" in the first digit. Remember this is a slow steady journey. It is not surprising to lose only 1-2 pounds a week and that can get slower as the weight falls off! Hang in there. We are with you! -
Check with your doctor, I had had a couple of meds that I have had to back down on due to weight loss.

Questions For Plastic Surgeon
CHEZNOEL replied to FLORIDAYS's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Also honestly prioritize yourself. What bothers you most. Remember each procedure is a new anesthesia experience, so try to do things that can be done simultaneously. Legs are the toughest to recover from... hard to keep them still! -
I'm Not Working Well With My Band. It's All In My Head....
CHEZNOEL replied to BreBre's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Work with your band and change the way you eat. There is no reason you cannot enjoy the foods you love without all the drama. Go to liquids for at least 24 hours and then SLOWLY add in solid food again. As has been said here, small bites, chew, chew, chew, no second bite until the first is down, (some people try to consciously wait a minute between bites,) and do not drink while eating. Think of it as eating longer, but not less.
