My doc says not to so you don't wash away the food. That was a hard habit to break I drink a lot of water with my meals. I only sip now because if not careful it can get things stuck

Friends come in leaves, branches and roots. Leaves blow away there for a season. Branches can b there for years it takes a lot to break them, but they do brake. Roots are there and will be there a lifetime. Only you know what kind of friend this is to you. It the season was up keep stepping and let it go, but if you know in your heart she is more than that apologize to salvage the friendship. TRUE friends are hard to come by. Good luck

So Cal Primary Doctor's Who Have Recommended The Lap-Band?
ElleG replied to efizzle34's topic in Insurance & Financing
No. Sorry but if you have any other docs talk with them tell them what u want to do and why get the support and have them recommend a doc to you. It makes things go so much smoother when that relationship is there with them and you and between the doctors. My cardiologist was extremely supportive and he made this happen for me -
Have u tried protein shakes as meal replacements? Have u tried water activities to remove some of the pressure? Talk with the docs and check out the local YMCA even if your moving slow just keep moving. Good luck

Anyone Have A Stomach Virus Or Flu With Band?
ElleG replied to MOMIOF3CV's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I get a flu shoot every year. I wash my hands a lot not for the band I always did and I keep hand sanitizer. I got sick and kept puking i could not even sip water i puked i finally called the doc i met him at the hospital and he let some fluid out he said i would have continued to puke the band was irritated do all you can to protect yourself. Good luck! -
The snacking really gets me. Sweets if I start that it takes a few weeks to get the cravings to go away. It's not easy, but try to cut out or down on snacking or choose fruit and nuts (raw). Best wishes!

Alcohol And The Band?
ElleG replied to futuresize8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will have a drink on special occasions. I don't drink often because I never have, but if I go out I will have a cocktail. Just remember your drinking calories and I would much rather eat them! Happy Soon to be B Day!!!! I was pregnant on my 21st so no drinking and I survived! -

So Cal Primary Doctor's Who Have Recommended The Lap-Band?
ElleG replied to efizzle34's topic in Insurance & Financing
I went thru the same thing. I got lucky tho my cardiologist (his buddy) called him and the next thing I know I had my letter. Make sure you have your medical files transferred so the new doc has your history. Good luck -

If a doctor can be paid to make Joan rivers look like she does (a crime) then Jessica can pay to have a lap band and dont need a doctors permission I think this is false.

Is Lap Band Just "sticking Your Toe In The Water?"
ElleG replied to 120darby's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I too know people who have had gastric bypass and re-gained. I know people who have had it and been successful. Your really the only one who can control your outcome no matter which road you choose. Good luck! -
Best wishes! Make sure your ready for this if you go thru with the surgery! Good luck

Find some really good shakes you like. Can you mix them with milk? The extra calories in milk really help me. You can do it, best wishes!
