What is the rudest thing someone has said to you?!?!
spartanpower replied to auntlucy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My boss told me in a fit of rage that " you need to get healthy." I told her " I am trying." To which she responded "don't try! Make it happen!" Don't think that was at all legal. Nor the half bonus and raise. -

Crazy Story From Pre Op Class
spartanpower replied to KristinsMommy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I agree with above. Most bands are laproscopic. Had to be a scare tactic. Stomach had strong acid in it. Two days is too long to remain recognizable. Now they may have nicked the stomach during laptop due to the food in it, then patient confirmed eating the fries and burger. -
Btw I hare predictive text. Mess = meds. Sorry for any confusion

Dang ash, was there complications during your surgery or special circumstances? That sound pretty conservative approach.

Should I Take Time Off From Work After Surgery?
spartanpower replied to Domika03's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Depends on surgery and any complications. I found I felt good 6 days out, but over did it and was beat tired. I think u have to listen to your body and pocketbook. If you can afford to br off longer u might consider it. -

Why Do I Need So Many Unfills?
spartanpower replied to missthaaaang's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I found prilosec made acid worse I had them change mine. Over time your body can reject certain meds. You may just need to find another and cycle thru when issues occur. -
Doctors scare people with tales of complications. I do agree the post op diet shrinks the liver by throwing the body into ketosis. But if it was really a concern for liver size I would think they would reject people over xxxxx weight. As you get larger so does the liver. I didn't stray from diet but cant blame one who did. All liquid is terrible torture.

The liquid diet is worse than the fiery pits of Hades. But it is all for a noble cause. On the positive side, how much have u lost?

Getting My Band Tomorrow And Super Super Nervous :(
spartanpower replied to Sarahemma94's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Liquids are interesting. I thought mine was having issues too. But it makes sense. Liquids go straight thrum to full stomach. So have to avoid high calorie drinks.
