Failed My Sleep Study!!!!
Banterwonder replied to horsegirl315's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a really hard time at my sleep study. No problem falling asleep at home, but during the study, couldn't fall asleep until around 2am!!!! Took Benadryl and alleve and that really didn't help much. No need for the CPAP, they found that I snore. A LOT!!! -
I Got Questions About Jobs And Going To School Plz Help
Banterwonder replied to isaiahs_mommy210's topic in Rants & Raves
Public assistance offers free classes in language, GED, looking for jobs that suit your education and experience. I would start there. Start writing your resume and get help with your grammar and punctuation. Best of luck! -
Should I Get Ivc Filter before Lapband???
Banterwonder replied to tandi04's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It concerns me that your doctor says, "it's up to you"?!!! I would want my docor to give more guidance than that. -
Research doctors in your area, check your insurance coverage, attend free seminars, attend support groups, more research. Generally get your "ducks in a row". Start documenting weight loss efforts, check with your PCP, get your BMI, read everything you can about the types of bariatric surgery, think about who you will tell, find support... Whew!!!!!

I , too, thought I was at the wrong site! But now I love it! Much brighter and less"hospital- like colors"!!!! -
Was curious about this as Weight Watchers went to computerized recording when I was attending. Can't they send your actual weight records, not just that you paid?

Constipation After Lap Band Surgery
Banterwonder replied to dramastarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have not been banded yet, but would colace be helpful? It is a stool softener, so I am not sure.... -
Oh, canned chicken! I used to love that as a child. I am not banded yet , in evaluation and consult process. Now I can look forward to canned chicken!

For DD bras that are cute and pretty, Lane Bryant, Women Within, and Just My Size.I like the yoga pants idea and hope I can wear them after banding. I always thought they were very cute but they never had my size! I agree with the ideas about buying pieces as you need them. Also looking forward to shopping in my own closet for the years of cute and pretty things that I couldn't wear!

Who Knows And What Do You Tell People After Lap Band Surgery...
Banterwonder replied to sunshine_x's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have told only my husband. No one needs to know. I have not been banded yet. I plan to tell anyone who asks that I am seeing a dietician and ramped up my exercise program. -
Why do people think you are crazy when you tell them your considering WLS?
Banterwonder replied to kelmelmom24's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it is really important to seriously consider who you tell about the decision to get banded. I have only told husband. No one else will know. I just don't want to deal with the questions and comments. It really is no one else's business, anyway. -
To Tell Or Not To Tell About Lap Band ???
Banterwonder replied to Amanda61082's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Someone mentioned that you can't "un-tell" , the decision to be banded. I have only told my husband. Work will think I am on vacation. No one else needs to know. Medical matters are protected by privacy laws, so there is no need to tell work. -
