  3. I can not get my picture updated without the word change in the upper left hand corner. Anyone could come in and change it. This however does not happen to the pictures on my setting page. Nothing is up in that corner. How do I get it off. Do not want to post picture until that is fixed.

    Constipation

    I have the same problem and I have had my lap band 21/2 years. I have tried everything and even ducolax didn't work. My GP actually gave me a constipation relief recipe this week and it actually started to work yesterday. Here it is: 1. 2 cups of applesauce. (I used unsweetened of course) 2. 2 cups prune juice or 2 cups of stewed prunes (purée them) 3. 2 cups organic wheat bran Mix together and store in refrigerator. Take one TBSP twice daily .... If to much,adjust. I am hoping that finally this will take care of the problem. I know just how awful you feel. If you have any other suggestions let me know.

    Dr Kuri

    He did my surgery 2 1/2 years ago. I thought he was wonderful. I went back to him for my first 2 fills but it is so far away that I found someone closer to me to go to. I had no problems with the surgery and I felt and still do that some of the doctors in Mexico get a bad rap. The biggest problem is finding a doctor in the states that will see you. They are real uncomfortable with it because of where you had it done. This year I had some problems and it took my general doctor calling someone to get me seen. When I got there he said if he had known it was a problem with my band he probably would not have seen me. This also means more money which my insurance does not cover. The other good thing about Dr. Kuri is that when you request a copy of your surgery procedure he is able to get it to you. I think that is why the Dr. I go to now did accept me as his patient. Good luck ! I did like him and the hospital was great.
  9. Hi, I have the same problem but if you have a Sama near you they sell a Hugh bag for $34. It comes in vanilla and chocolate . It had has 18 grams of protein in it. You might try that. If your near a Costco I bet they carry it too. Good luck! I'm with you.?
