    I thought this forum would be very encouraging to those who have an eating disorder. It is just monopolized by certain people who give out mis information. peace out, going to look somewhere else, hopefully none of you are on it. peace out and good look on your journey.

    Just wanted to check if she knows what she is talking about. baffles me that she thinks by just placing a band by the fundus of stomach can decrease this hormone.
  7. SandraO
    I would not be guided by someone who gets info off the internet.
  8. SandraO
    so your saying just by placing the band by the fundus of the stomach it will decrease this hormone, your confusing many
  9. SandraO
    Can you name this hormone that regulates? And how does it regulate it??
  10. SandraO
    Where did you get your info, on the internet!! I work with bariatric patients who go through wls and are well educated on the types of wls.

    Easier said than done!! Why have the lap band if you have the will power to follow dr orders to the t. In sure your pcp spoke to you regarding your weight and a change in your diet. Comments like these that blow my mind, ppl so judge mental. Were are all adults and do what we please. Btw weightloss via lap band is through restriction!!! Not satiety. Pouch is a certain size and only a certain amount of food fits!!

    Why did they place you on a pain patch. Do you have chronic pain?

    Banded 9/24/12

    SandraO replied to CarrieBrownsville's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It only hinders if it causes sedation. But we encourage pain meds to allow patients to walk take deep breaths in etc.

    Getting Sick And Having Lapband

    SandraO replied to ☠carolinagirl☠'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    As a clinician i would recommend ways to prevent infection, although it might not be possible. Always wash your hands and highly recommend getting the flu shot if you are not allergic to it.
  18. SandraO
    Can u possibly be nauseas by the iv pain med.
  19. SandraO
    Any recomendations?

    Menstral Cramps & Banding

    SandraO replied to TheDuchess's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    Another option would to be on medication that alllows periods 3 to 4 times a year. Also you might want to take nsaid with something like prilosec to prevent ulcer from forming.

    Skin Irritation?

    SandraO replied to rebirth91712's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I understand know, are you taking anything that can dry you out. For example benadryl. The steroid will def make it easier to breath.
