Thanks Tracey.

If you want your band out, my surgeon operates in Vancouver a few times a month. Maybe he could let you know the price for removal. Or, maybe because you now have a contradictory diagnosis, you may qualify for a removal under BC healthcare?

First Stuck Episode

Me too. I took a really big bite, and it came right back up as a PB. -

Yay! That is fantastic. I am also down 30 pounds, although I don't feel any different yet. -
Gall Bladder & Lapband
running_scared replied to Bel12's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my gallbladder out 5 years ago, and the lap band recovery has been much easier. The biggest issue with my gallbladder recovery was my belly button incision. It was terrible, and got infected. -

Glad to hear it. -
Maybe call the clinic, and ask them what they think.

running_scared replied to monicaleigh's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations on your loss. Why are you so focused on not wanting a fill though? -

When Did You Realize That You Lost Weight?
running_scared replied to JanellesMommy8210's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I don't see it myself, but I am wearing smaller clothes. -
You can use it, sliced thinly, instead of lasagna noodles, in pasta dishes. Tastes pretty good.

April Bandsters!
running_scared replied to Moonlitedi's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also felt a lot better today, than I did yesterday. I went shopping, ran errands, and went to the bank. On the shopping front, I am apparently losing all of my weight from my chest. Come on hips, please get smaller! -

Wow. I had surgery on the 20th and I'm glad to be down 4 pounds! I don't think we are supposed to worry about losing quite yet. -
Yes, I agree. Call the surgeon ASAP tomorrow morning, and see how much of a prime is in your band, and see if they can remove all of it for you. Another poster had to have that done this week, and I believe they did it under general sedation, for her comfort.

Maybe you need some more pain medication? With the right medication, you can walk, which will help with the gas pains. Also, try some gas-x strips, and peppermint tea.

Maybe you need to get smaller fills at a time, if you swell a lot? -
I Have Never Found Restriction!!!
running_scared replied to Lose100lbs's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Maybe you need another fill, if you can eat more than 1 cup at a time? As for the head hunger vs real hunger, I am just learning myself. -
Have you taken any pain medication today?

running_scared replied to susanb's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That sucks. Could they try doing a smaller fill? Maybe 1/2 or 1/4 of what they were putting in? -

Burping, All The Time
running_scared replied to Kami76065's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 9 days out, and I'm burping all the time too. I had some edge (blended though) for Breakfast, and it was nice to have some 'real' food. -
