  1. Anyone with 1800getthin. Dr. Lee Au is so awesome . He is originally from Hawaii & is absolutely a wonderful surgeon & dr. I would recommend him for everyone. He is so caring & interested in everything about his patients.
  2. I certainly hope that all is well. I personally would NOT have gone thru it without all of the pre op. Statistics show such a high mortality rate in those cases of no pre op. I pray that all hasb& goes well.
  3. Keep up the good work. 1 down ? To go. Good luck
  4. I've been having some discomfort to pain in the lower left tummy. Anyone have an idea what it could be? 25 days post op

    It's Been A Week Already!?

    Remember to try & stay away from the processed meats. Though it taste good it may not be good for you. As someone else suggested the can chicken & tuna are good for ya. Good Luck to ya.
  7. I'm sorry but are you hiding that your intend to have the band? If not then shouldn't those people be supporting you. Just sayin.
  8. Trenz, even baby gas drops will work, anything with Simethicone ingredient. Will work
  9. Trenz, you should have been sent home with something. That's just wrong.

    Medications

    Thank you bunches. I'm gonna ask mt doc about that.
  11. So does anyone have any tips for taking meds(maintenance meds) the capsules seem to be the hardest, I think because they seem to fill so heavy going down & for awhile after. I've tried crushing & emptying the capsules into Jello, pudding, hot & cold liquids, mashed potatoes & my list is growing. So does anyone have any ideas. Help cause stopping the meds are not a option.
  12. & per my questioning they have complied with all the demands from the FDA & allergen . Like I said my experience with those I have dealt.with have been awesome.
  13. I was able to have my bladder lifted, apr, podiatrist, nutritionist, all the pre op procedures(endo, liver biopsy, sleep study, etc). I personally will stand by them to this point (8 months of care & procedures). Things happen. If you ask the coordinators & dr.s they have reviewed the individual cases & I'm told that the patients in question didn't follow all of the rules & procedures. So there for your risk is higher.
  14. Well I'm doing just fine. They were wonderful. The one's being sued are the 2 dr.s who own some of the clinics. My dr lee is new to the practice. I spoke of him & his staff. I deal with the same people all of the time & Tri City Hospital isn't part of these claims. Everyone has their own opinion & mine has been a awesome experience.

    Not a problem with the text. I understood. Thank you
  17. Oh & the education I received was great. I've lost 46 lbs since December & 14 lbs in 20 days since surgery. You have to do ALL the pre op procedures also. Some of the claims are due to lack of compliance from patients. Follow the rules/plans & your results are on you.
  18. I have questioned the claims & given all the info as well as my own research. Lap band is made by 1 company & oband is made by johnson & Johnson whom also owns the l.a. times. So of course they want to discredit the competion. I have gone thru 1800 get thin for multiple procedures before having the lap band & am completely satisfied. My ob/gyn was dr aram Bonni , whom is also absolutely wonderful. You have to do your own research by dr , not the company.
  19. Awesome job, you worried yourself for nothin. I'm 20 post op & only lost 14 lbs. Keep up the good work.
  20. Also remember to take it easy. If your only 3 months or less my dr said take it easy & listen to your body, if it hurts back off the activities for a while. Take Care Of You.

    Thank you, I did call the pharmacy to see what I could get in liquid so I will be calling my pcp in the morning. Feed back is SO Much Appreciated.
  22. If it hurt I would call your surgeon immediately , if not maybe you turned or bent in a uncomfortable way. I know that when I do I too can feel a odd movement. Keep us posted & maybe someone with more experience may have better advice.
