Have been having constant menstruation since 6 months. Had my lapband since march 2013. Any of you has that same problem ? And if yes, how did it resolved ?

Any of you had to have a plastic surgery for the lose skin on the neck under the chin ?

I still have 50 pounds to lose but I'm thinking about it a lot. In Québec, some of the plastic surgery are covered (not for the face though). Tummy tuck and the arms for sure. If it's possible, I'll go for the thigh and pay for the facelift later. Where R U from ?

Hi all ! Since my last fill (now up to 4.5 cc) it has been very difficult to eat between morning to mid-afternoon. Do you any guys have this problem ? The food just won't go down. Only liquids or soup-creme... I'm do for a fill on november 21, I wonder if I should cancel it ...

Yousee, I can eat but later in the day, like for exemple, tonight no problem. For lunch I usually have soup. Nothing else will go down much. Morning, yogourt and coffe.

Did you get all these operations at the same time ???

I was thinking about having a tattoo made in the lower back area. Do you think I better wait until the weight is completely down or I could do it right now ? I started at 290 pounds and is now 230 going for 180...

Ok ! I have this very personal question : any of you had plastic surgery for tummy tuck and got also surgery for the pubis area at the same time ? Does the tummy tuck surgery takes care of the pubis area at the same time or you need another surgery for the pubis ?

Hi all ! I have a very personaal question : any of you had tummy tuck surgery that also took care of the pubis area ? Or does the pubis area needs a surgery of it's own ?

Thank you for the informations. It helps a lot ! I got my lapband on march 13 and seing my tummy go down loosing the fat but the pubic area is not loosing. It scared me ! Thanks !

I got the surgery from Dr Jetté on march 13. He is a GREAT surgeon. Yes, he can be very to the point with things, and maybe a little rude, but he treats you like a family member and really cares about his patients. The one year wait is Worth it !

I've been banded on march 13 and everytime I eat, my stomach rumble like crazy. It doesn't feel imconftable but you can hear it a mile away. Anyone living the same experience ?By the way, I only have 1cc in my band so I eat a little less but ordinary food (solids), not only mushies or liquids. Oh ! And, yeurk... burping a lot, big ones !!!

Having surgery on march 13 (never it get to me saying my own date !) !!! Will start my pre-op diet on february 27. Anyone having surgery on march 13 ?

Does anyone had to change their band after a certain time ? I've just read that the life duration of the band may be 3 years because of complications : '' One caution with LAGB is the uncertainty about whether the low complication rate extends past three years, given a possibility of increased band-related complications (e.g., erosion, slippage) requiring re-operation.

So... How are you doing ? I haven't got mine yet. Most probably will get it in april and already freeking !

Do you physically feel the LB in your body other then feeling the restriction ?

So you can't see the port through the skin ?

Has anyone evre tried the Dukan program before the lapband ? Did it work a little ? I'm waiting for my date of operation (probably in more or less 8 months) but I'de like to try this to lose a little wait in the next few months...

Anyone of you had plantar fasciitis in their feet before the lapband ? Did it get better after losing the weight with the lapband ?

How is it so far ? Can you now walk or run without any problem ?

That's exactly what I did ! LOL The text was originaly in french, I'm from Québec, Canada. The text seems just fine in french, don't worry !

I've heard that spirulina is one of the highest protein aliment you can find. Has any of you used it as an appetite suppressant ?

Here is what I've read about it : It can be consumed to reduce feelings of hunger, because it acts on the regulating centers of appetite by affecting appetite, easier to track while dieting or weight loss! In fact, it calms the feeling of hunger, while avoiding nutritional deficiencies and fatigue, who often arrive in undertaking a diet. In this case, Spirulina take about 30 minutes before meals or as soon as the sensation of feeling hungry ! In case of intense effort (or to calm a great hunger) you can even triple the recommended daily dose no risk or side effects! Annuler les modifications I don't know if it's true so i'm looking for anyone who has tried once. Maybe even during the pre-op liquid diet...

I've had a breast reduction in 1991 and I'm wondering about breast excess skin after the lapband ?

Thank you for this info. Mine right now are just like yours on the pic, so I feel better knowing now. Thanks !
