Ok guys who I need to find a doctor in the Columbus Ga area. I will be moving there next month. Any one have any ideas??

surgery.....

Ok for the past 2 days every time I eat I get really bad cramps then starts the diarrhea... and I mean within minutes of eating my stomach is hurting and the saga begins... Is this dumping syndrome???? Or how long should I monitor before calling my doctor.. I had a revision surgery on the 26th of June for a flipped port prior to that I had no issues. On the flip side I have lost 3 pounds in 2 days because of these symptoms... HELP anyone else have this problem....And I only have 3 cc in a 10 cc band so I know this is not the problem. I also do not have any nausea or vomiting...

Hey guys had my flipped port fixed on the 26th so far so good.. no real pain..... hope every one is doing great.... ready to get back to working out but, I have to wait until my doc advises...

It doesn't feel any different... Didn't even know till I went to my appointment...

Flipped port.... this suxxx... banded march 5th went in today for a fill and they were not able to access the port... after floroscopy confirmed thd port is flipped and i need a second surgery...... uugghhh why me?? Does any one know why this happens?? Has anyone else had this happen to them??

So I am at the dr for a fill & just my luck a possible flipped port... Uuugghhhh... Waiting on radiology to confirmar....

Ok I know everyone is different as well as our docs but I was banded 3/5/12 and only have 3cc's in my band. I am hungry about every 2-3 hours and my doc says only 0.5cc from here on.....seems like every one else is at 5-6cc's that was banded around the same time. Weight is starting to stand still and I am hungry all the time which causes me to make bad food choics.....HELP.....

Good advice sunshyne068.... started back working out and weighing my food so hopefully this will get me on track.. If this fails I will take your advice for a few days... thx

HELP... BEEN DOING TERRIBLE THESE LAST FEW DAYS.... SO FAR AT EVERY APPOINTMENT I HAVE LOST 5-6 pounds but I guess I have hit bandster hell I am hungry all the time now since my last fill on May 3rd I would think I would have been better after a fill but not so much..... starting tomorrow I am going to kick this back in to gear before I become the lap band failure....... :ph34r:

Had my second fill on Thurday may 3rd... can't really feel a difference yet but all is good....

I was banded on march 5th and had my first fill on April 5th.... Looks like we are as close to banded buddies as we can get.. LOL you are doing great with weight loss any pointers?? I am only down 27 not saying that's bad but u are doing great!

Ok March band buddies... I am 8 weeks out today and down 27 pounds and down from a pants size 16-18 a 14!!!! yayyy pretty soon I won't have to shop at Lane Bryant anymore!!! Go for my next fill on May 3rd and I am excited currently on 2cc's in my 10cc band..... 15 more pounds to go to be at my second goal of under 200 pounds... haven't been there since 2001 so super duper excited

AMEN ...... VERY INFORMATIVE....

So I was banded on March 5th 2012 at a size 18/20. Well on Sunday I tore a tag off of a 14/16 dress for church and YEP it was TOO BIG..... YAAYYYYY. Now I have only lost 24 pounds which does not seem like a lot to me, but I am happy with my success so far. I am only 7 weeks out and down in sizes so hay... I guess that is my first NSV..... its the small things that count and keep you motivated and I am ecstatic I still have 58 pounds to go and I am ready for the remainder of my journey and to get to where I want to be....... Loving my lap band....

Ok I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this weird feeling so here goes... When I bend over I can feel my port move then once I am standing straight again it almost feels like it is popping back in place and I can feel it move.... Very weird.... does anyone else have this or something similar????

thanks so much....

I am 7 weeks out and boy is it hard..... I have a prob with junk food and I dont do to bad but find myself eating candy since easter. I have to get it together..... been downing my self for messing up

Think I finally found my "full/stop eating" sign... I start burping....

I am allowed one string cheese and 2-3 oz of fruit per day. But no pasta, rice, bread etc....

Yes.. positive. I was told no carbs until I get to my goal weight. I am so tired of eating eggs so I called to ask could I do specail K and eas told no because it has carbs... I think I should be able to have them but they feel otherwise..... its killing me and I have had a break down a few times but nothing severe. Its so hard..............

Ok I am needing to kick this weight loss in gear..... 7 weeks outs and only 21 pounds down this to include my liquid diet. Wanting to be a total of 50 pounds down by june.....any pointers into how to kick it in high gear. I am working out 35-45 min on eliptical 3 days a week with taebo 1 day a week and doing 30 min of wii on the other days... please help....

Pasta sounds so good... unfortunatley I was told I can't have any carbs until I am at my goal weight. I am only 7 weeks out so I have aways and 61 pounds to go... spaghetti is my favorite food.... uugghhh but it will be worth it.

Ok so I was banded on March 5 and I am down 21 pounds by the doctors scale and 25 by my scale... I was getting a little bit down because I feel I should be down more by now but then I realized at least its 21-25 pounds I will never see again!!! I started out at at size 18/20 shirt a squeezing tight 16 pants and 18 to be comfortable. Well I am now down to a 14/16 shirt and 16 bottoms... yayyy. I havent had to buy any clothes yet because I am a shopaholic and had 14/16's that I had been holding on to. I have set a new goal for myself to be down 25 more pounds by June. I chose June because that is when I have my family reunion in Louisiana. I havent really told any of my family that I had the surgery only a select few who I swore to secrecy... so it will be nice to see the reactions when I am down 50 pounds. I am finding that after a workout I am so week and hungry. So I tried drinking half a protein shake before and half after today and felt a little better. Since I am a newbie to loosing any and all advise will be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance.

Ok I was banded on March 5,2012. I was told by my doctors office no carbs.... so now I am so confused as of what to eat for breakfast.. I have only been doing eggs and I am so burnt out.. what can I eat for breakfast foods? I was told no grits, or oatmeal. They also said its not permanent just until you get to your goal weight... HELP....
