Think about an IUD there ones with hormones Mirena and ones without hormones Periguard. Isn't it better to not put man made hormones in your body? HW 250/1st Lapband 198/2nd Lapband 232/Pre conversion 2/6/13 to bypass 232.....Current 211

Lots of prayers to you....I am a companion to seven rescued furry children....good thing you didn't vaccinate your dog it is very dangerous to vaccinate your animal....my Siberian husky has a severe issue with his spine from vaccines. We give our furry children Nosods natural vaccine protection. Remember your furry child can't speak to tell you what it hey are feeling and your baby needs mega hydration and anti nausea meds....

Two bands to bypass lots of scar tissue and adhesions 2/6/13. First 2.5 weeks lived in recliner chair. Everyone is different. My thought was sleeve but learned that I would have to have band removed recover be tested for Esophageal motility if was ok then another surgery for sleeve. Besides my good friend had a sleeve did good 6 months out now she looks like she gained it all back. The short of it was I would bypass the stuckness caused by band that could happen again with sleeve, for me my to band surgeries were easier than my conversion and I wished my surgeon would have warned me about the pain of cutting muscle/nerve.

Is anyone getting dizzy when up and around? I'm four weeks out on the 6th. I finally got rid of my intense pain in my stomach muscle so I started moving around more and I'm getting dizzy, slightly nauseous and tire easily. I feel better when I sit or lay down.....I'm drinking all the time. I eat three times a day even tho I'm not hungry. -
