congrats on a great accomplishment so very proud of you

no, my band lets me know when enough is enough and the little hiccups are my sign to stop..whether i want to or not...

when we go to movies, i bring me one of those 100 cal packs holly mentioned i have some at work too....never know when the urge strikes and mercy does it ever smell good

great job terry

no issues so far.......just very aware of my body and i know if something doesnt seem right, def checking with my dr...whatever does or does not happen, i will deal..

I am not "bad" or "good" because of the foods i eat or don't eat this is your topic and it speaks volumns if people would just do what works for them, let go of labels and just focus on getting healthy.. excellent words for me to read this a.m. thank you

not the band, but can feel my port when i put my hand where its at and esp when i walk. if i ever get to where its able to be seen, i am down with that...my friend who saved my life

not me, it helps me (eat less) hence why i eat filling foods to help me stay full longer

i wouldnt as i am not a doctor that is what i pay them to do..

my most embarrassing, someone asked me when the baby was due...

i think which ever surgery you are able to get, you should if its only the lap band, then work the h ell of out it and be a success if you get the band and plication, then again work the he ll out of it and be a success either one you will have to change what and how much you eat to lose weight. you do not need the plication to aid the band to lose weight. many on here do not have it. my dr offered it because my bmi was 62 and i was super morbid obese. he told me it wouldnt work unless i heled the band and plication. i say this only because i dont want you to get hung up on something that may or may not happen. which ever you get, it will work if you help it.

to gain weight, you have to eat more calories than you burn off... as dylan and miss said, follow the dr's allotted amounts, eat good filling foods and you will do well.

i never heard of this i have only a 12/dollar co pay each time i go to my lap band dr

call their answering service and leave a message for them to call back..if very concerned go to the ER.

my dr and his nurses gave me a list that could help gas x liquid tylenol (i use the cvs brand) immodium ad (my dr approved) probotics (my dr approval post op to help regulate) and dr prescribed me anti nausea meds hope this helps

i thought i knew the name but had to look it up to be sure.. http://phen375.com/en/ i saw the words (diet pills)..to me this is not needed when one has the lap band. i personally feel someone who buys these things are wasting money into that (quick fire wight loss cycle) only to be disappointed. For less than $3.80 per day! *Become slimmer faster than ever before* sorry, i dont feel anyone should waste money on this after having a WLS.

i had 2 1/2 weeks liquids on my pre op...day 4 and 5 were my hardest...i really thought id die and or starve...i was whining one day to my hub and he said, you wanted this surgery, so do what you have to do to make it happen..i read, i watched tv, i stayed on this forum and read and made friends, watched you tube on stories of the band....and tried to get my head into the game........here i am...and so will you be...

size 30 to 18 in 8 months....

i asked my dr about midol as i have bad cramps also...he advised me to take liquid tylenol (so i take the cvs brand)..def seems to help..having a hot bath helps me also. hope you feel better soon

i remember when i broke from the 300's...what a great feeling. just keep going...never look back...you are doing so great..what a success story

i had that also and it hurt to take deep breaths esp with that little doo hickey i had to use for a week for breathing treatments ouch but i rested, used my pain meds and each day it got better and yours will too

opinions will vary the opinion that matters is your dr and what they want you to do in regards to carbonation, mine said no..so no it is
