I am a 57 year old female looking for a Lapland buddy. I was banded mar 12 and have been struggling. I would prefer someone around the same age. I was banded in savannah, ga. Thank u

Hi Stephanie. Sorry, I have not responded. I am still trying to learn this site and have difficulty. Hope you are still willing to be a buddy. Please let me know. I am not going to write too much until I hear back from you. Hope you are out of your slump and doing better. I will check and see if you respond. Try my fitness pal app. I read about it on this site. Hope to hear from u soon!

Sorry miss Ann about not replying. I have a little trouble with this website. I had my surgery at savannah memorial hospital with dr whipple. How are u doing now. I AM STILL STRUGGLING.

I am fairly new to this site. Not sure if I am in the right forum or not. I would like to know if anyone has experienced these problems. I was banded mar 12. Have not stayed on track and have not list much weight. A few months ago I suffered nausea, throwing up (nothing coming up) , belching, some chills, Back ache between shoulder blades. First I thought I had a bug. I got nauseated a couple times a wk. the dr had me drink barium and said it was not the band, sounded like gall bladder. Went to my pcp, had gall stones and had my gall bladder removed. The surgeon said I can't promise this will take care of the nausea. I had surgery feb 1st (gall bladder). And still have all of the same symptoms. I go for my follow up tomorrow. Anyone else experience this? Sorry this is long.

Did you ever backslide? How do u get excited about exercise and drinking the water. I guess I am asking how did u turn yourself around? Sounds like you are 100% focused. That is what I need.

Well as I said I was banded mar 12. For the first two months lost about 12 lbs. 3rd month stayed the same, 4th month gained a lb, 5th month gained a couple more. Stopped going for my appts. A couple of months ago I started getting sick, queasy and throwing up but nothing came up. This went on a day or two out of each wk. made an appt to have my band checked. Band was ok so went to pcp. Anyway had gall bladder removed 1 feb. have an appt with Lapland 20feb. I want to get back on track but have such a hard time. I eat just like I did before surgery. I have been a complete failure. Help

Hi Miss Ann. By now you have been banded. Would like to know your progress. I was banded Mar 12. And have not been successful. My own fault. So let me know. Karen

What is the 5 day pouch test?

i felt the same way. i had my surgery 3-21-12. I think it is just the gas or overdoing it. It will get better.
