The date on this seems to be 2001. Is that correct. If so, I'm certain there have been many advances and changes in the devices and how the procedures are being done.

Sounds like a similar problem I have been having on and off. Sorry graphic but necessary. I had itching around the top above the clitoris but nothing actually inside the vagina. I seriously think it is just a moisture problem. Not being able to move around after surgery. And I have gotten a desk job. I think if you don't move your lady parts moisture will build up. And try getting up and going tot the restroom frequently. That was contributing to my issue too. Things just too Cooped up down there. I had what looked like little scrapes or cuts above my, well you know. Making my self drink more Water so I have to get up and pee and urine is a good clean thing to have going around down there. I guess the moisture thing can actually be a yeast thing but just on the outside. Good luck

I wonder if you have a possible leak.

Thanks. My doc didn't seem concerned at all either nor was he trying to hide it or anything.

So I went in for a fill today and he had me drink water while the needle was in me siting up etc. I'm pretty sure that when he put the saline in it was clear. He had to back some out and I saw the needle after and the liquid was yellow. Anyone know why or had this happen to them?

Pain Left Side Under Top Of Rib Cage......
Karma88 replied to caralaisure's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yup I think lots of bandsters get this. I get it if I eat too fast so gas is probably the culprit there or I get it if I take too big of a bite. It's funny cause it's almost instant. Little band reminder to slow it all down. -
Are You Going To Tell Anyone About Your Surgery???
Karma88 replied to Lola Granola's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
About a face book group: I just made a new Facebook name etc and I use it specifically for my wls. It's great just to let it all out and be open in a community of like minded people. If you are interested in friending me I'm Sweetie Karma. And we know how fb goes. You will have tons of peeps on there. Most of my friends are wls specific. Good luck all of you new banders. My surgery was march 1 -

I haven't been on in a while myself. Was banded march 1. I have noticed the pain in the left shoulder as well. Kinda cool I think. Not the pain but the secret little signals. Is MFP an ap? I have been using an ap called my net diary. It's ok I'll check out MFP

Anyone Ended Up With Kidney Stones Or Pancreatitis?
Karma88 replied to JillDisney's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Please watch what kind of Calcium supplements u take. Calcium carbonate, which most of us can find chewable at any grocery store, can be a big culprit for kidney stones and gout. Make sure your calcium is calcium citrate. I bought caltrate or something similar thinking the "trate" part would be citrate nope carbonate so not taking those anymore. Haven't found any over the counter chewable calcium citrate guess I'll order them from a WLS site. Hate spending a ton but if it prevents ks I'll do it -
Stuff Coming Out Of Scar
Karma88 replied to Karma88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for that info. I hope yours continues to go away. I'm calling today -
Ok, I had surgery march 1 and I have a tiny spot where my port incision is and I was looking at it this morning and pushed on it and this oily stuff mixed w a little blood came out. About a teaspoon in all. It's definitely oil because the blood was kinda beaded in it. So Wierd didn't have any odor don't think there's any puss stuff but so strange. Anyone else have this?

Stuff Coming Out Of Scar
Karma88 replied to Karma88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok I've been looking on line and my "unprofessional" opinion is that it is a Seroma. Fluid that can form its not an infection but it may need to be drained. Hmmm not excited. Going for a fill Thursday but calling the dr tomorrow. -

Granted I will be having a visit from aunt flo soon but I hear that is supposed to make things tighter and I didn't want to wait a whole month so I called today and I will get my next one in a week do that will be two weeks apart. I hope it's ok.
