Sounds like you're getting stuck while eating. -
Band A Little Tight? Dangerous
CindyBklyn replied to Boniluuu's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Honestly it is bad and can lead to a second surgery or removal of the band. It happened to me with my band slipping 4 months out. Be smart about the process and learn from others mistakes. If you can't eat, need to take something regularly for heartburn there is a problem. Don't ignore it - seek medical advice. Best of luck. -
Idk What Is Wrong With Me
CindyBklyn replied to shuckybucky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have heard your pouch can get larger and food may be sitting on the side. I would have your dr do a test to check. Better to be safe than sorry. -
What Does An Ulcer Vs A Slip Feel Like?
CindyBklyn replied to marfar7's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Had a slip recently and before I found out I thought an unfill was a horrible thought....guess what - surgery to fix the slip beats it. Please go to the ER. Call ur Lapband Dr and see what ER he recommends in the area. They should be able to direct the surgeon in the ER on how to do a simple unfill if they don't know. Getting sick this often is a major warning sign - no goal is worth the risk! Good luck. -
I would just asking him to be involved so both of you can decide if it's right for you. I went to the seminar for my husband 2 different times to support him although I was unsure about it. In the end, I not only knew it was a great opportunity for him but I was banded a month behind him. You will need his support - so ask it. Good luck.

Anyone Have A Good Roasted Chickpea Recipe?
CindyBklyn replied to georgia girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've made that recipe and really enjoyed them. You can add different spices (red chili flakes, cayenne) for a little kick. I make a few cans at one time & keep cold - no issues staying for a week or so. Enjoy! -
I Failed The Lapband - Please Help Me.
CindyBklyn replied to Suznty's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Maybe this is the journey you were suppose to take - fix the obsession with food first then continue to lose weight. I don't think you should consider yourself a failure if you have lost 45lbs and kept it off. I hope you're seeking help for the mental (hardest) part of the process. As long as you don't give up and stop you won't become a failure. Good luck - stay positive. -
I had coffee the day after surgery - I'm willing to part with a lot but coffee is not one of them at this point.

How Did You Choose The Lap-band Vs Other Procedures?
CindyBklyn replied to goofycathy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I liked the idea the band could be reversed and then hearing my Dr say they would only support the Lapband because of complications with other options made my choice clear. -
6 Month Coach Support Required For My Lap Band Surgery
CindyBklyn replied to Gonnabeslim1day's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had a six month requirement too that seemed overwhelming in the beginning, but I was glad for the time to emotionally get ready. If I would have rushed the process I don't think I would have done the mental work that prepared me for the harder days. 2 months post-op I couldn't be happier and I know all the pre-work made it possible. Good luck in your journey! -

Insurance Won't Approve Rebuckling Of Lap Band!
CindyBklyn replied to Marianne390's topic in Insurance & Financing
15 days may be the average but if you have surgery scheduled the Dr can call the insurance company to escalate the request and hopefully speed it up. Good luck! -
I Had The Lapband Surgery 8/30/11 Why Does All My Joints Hurt So Bad?
CindyBklyn replied to pdh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would talk to your dr - this could be unrelated to the Lapband. Try to notice if the pain is in both sides at the same time or only one side - I've had similar issues and knowing that is key to helping figure out the problem. Good luck! -
