Im doing great and soooo glad I got the band with plication. I think it has helped me a lot. I get compliments everyday about my weight loss. I have lost 48 pounds since surgery may 24, 2012 and 84 since beginning of the year in January :-). I'm only 9 pounds from being below 200!!! I can't wait!!

Slippage With Plication?
blpchick replied to NurseLydsss's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I agree with elcee as that Is how my doctor described what he did to me. -
Just got a fill it's my second fill and now I've noticed I burp a lot after drinking. I did just get the fill a few hours ago so I'm wondering if this is normal? I now have a total of 1cc in my band.

My dr had me take milk of mag for a few days post op to prevent the constipation. Worked great I must say lol

I was advised to use milk of mag after my surgery and it worked very well. My surgeon told me to use it after the surgery to get things moving.

Lovenox Injections
blpchick replied to AngelaLou99's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Probably only reason my husband did them for me was because he is a paramedic. When he couldn't do them I had a friend RN who do them for me. -
I was on liquids for 2 weeks preop and 2 weeks post op and then 2 weeks of mushy. I ate low fat turkey chili that my surgeon approved.

1St Day Home And Feeling Miserable :(
blpchick replied to ready2run's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was severely nauseous day 2 and 3 after surgery and I found that putting a cold wet rag over my forehead and eyes helped me. I have also heard about the running alcohol thing but I did not have any so did not try it. -
My surgeon allowed me to have low fat turkey chili during mushies. I like it a lot and I found it at Walmart.

Lovenox Injections
blpchick replied to AngelaLou99's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did have to do them after surgery for 2 weeks because I had developed a blood clot after surgery. I was not able to do them myself so my husband gave them to me. They were very painful to me and I did bruise a lot -
I was banded in may and bow I have to get my gallbladder removed as well. The surgeon wants me to wait til I am off Coumadin which will be November. Im really not looking to another surgery but looking forward to the pain from gallbladder to be gone.

I have not tried any lotions but I did buy a multivitamin that one a day makes that's made just for skin. Supposed to help with elasticity according to the box. They are big pills so i break them in half.

Any Drink Lean Body??
blpchick replied to Kkcrowder's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like the lean body shakes but I really like muscle milk -
I have had kidney stones for year anyways so i can't say my band caused any kidney stones but It did probably contribute to me getting gallstones. I have also been told that real lemon juice helps to dissolve kidney stones by my urologist. He told me to make lemonade out of real lemons and drink it often.

Looking To Get "fills" In The Tulsa,ok Area....
blpchick replied to chevy4x4man72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hey i live in Tulsa and i see Dr Ladd Atkins at Lap Band Center of Oklahoma. He and his office staff are very friendly. I dont know where you had your surgery but i know he takes patients from other doctors because it says so on his website. I do not know the cost of the fills because i paid cash price for my surgery and all my fills are included in that price for the first year. -
I was told to take flinstones chewables after my surgery. I do not like the taste of them but i can manage to get them down.
