Surgery this morning
Rojasanoll replied to crafty_lady1971's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
SIP the water, use heating pad and walk as much as you can tolerate. Helps with the gas. -

Stuck Episode - Advice Anyone?
Rojasanoll replied to bandedsinger's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Since I've now been "stuck" 3 times eating chicken, I jump up and down. Sort of like a plunger effect on the "stuck" just like when you pluge a toilet. It works for me. I saw this on the internet and thought how dumb. But it works on me. So for several minutes I jump as high in the air and land, over and over for a few minutes. Then rest, then start it all over for a few more. Water doesn't work for me. Best wishes -
Is my band too tight?
Rojasanoll replied to Deleted Account 2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have to check and discuss this with your doctor. Get his advice, first. Congratulations on your weight loss. -
Lettuce intolerance?
Rojasanoll replied to koolkel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have to chew the lettuce a long time otherwise it might lay on top of the opening like a flap and cause you the problem. Check with your dietitian or doctor. -
Wow, and Congratulations Skinny!

Watch what you put inside your mouth. Make sure its Protein first, then anything else for 1 cup a meal. Don't drink liquids with the meal so you stay fuller, longer in time. Best wishes

Congratulations on your weightr loss.

Very normal. Please be patient with the weight loss or gain during this period. Swelling will go done and then you will lose the weight.

You have a live in buddy to do all your exercise with. Good luck to the two of you.

Your doctor should decide from his experience. -
Officially banded!
Rojasanoll replied to bigcheese's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Take your meds for a good night sleep. Use the heating pad for any gas. It works. SIP the water, NO straws. Best wishes -
A pleasant surprise
Rojasanoll replied to i (used to) love candy's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
If she qualifies, Why Not! Let her go for it, she's young and you can have a walking/exercise buddy for life. This is a good thing! Best wishes -
Wow! Hey skinny!!

My hernia bothered me more the the band. My surgeon did both on the same day. Check with your doctor when in doubt. You' re still paying him for followups after surgery. Post op visits are usually covered for a time.

My surgeon used a Allegan 144cc omniform lapband and he gladly told me. I paid for it, so I wanted the information. Best wishes

Best wishes and this is for YOU! You will be okay and it will be over quickly. A new YOU, will be started. Keep the faith

As long as you blend everything into a liquid state. Just remember to use low cal if possible.If you blend a can of soup that has 400 calories, there is still 400 calories in a can. Most of us here went through this entire period on liquids for a complete period of healing. I went over 20 days in post healing on liquids. Best wishes.

Your doctor determines if and when your surgery date is scheduled. Good luck and Best wishes. It will be here sooner so be prepared.

Give at least 110% each day.

Hair falling out in clumps
Rojasanoll replied to heathernl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started Biotin about 3 weeks before my lapband surgery. So I had a head start with the vitamin in me. Some loss but not noticable. I take 5000 mgs of Biotin every day. -
I only work out about 1 time a week, but I do light walking in my work building up and down the stairs.

Not for me. I don't like Crystal light ice tea flavor. I used their fruit punch and lemonade often.
