They wouldn't even do a CT scan. They said because Im young (29) it isnt necessary. it is so freaking soooore! I have a 3 year old and its difficult to have patience for her and have this pain. My post op is friday if its still there i am demanding a CT scan.. all they did at ER is prescribe me more pain meds and consult with my weight loss surgeon about what it could be. thank you for sharing this it make me not feel so alone!!

Hi Steve! I could use a mentor like yourself! I'm always up for a good laugh. I just had my surgery on Oct 3rd 2012. I am having trouble getting 64oz of water per day and 64g of protein. Any suggestions! I'm currently eating 800-900 calories a day mainly because I'm not that hungry. An example of me Daily diet is a protein shake with pure protein refried beans with avocado scrambled egg, yogurt, crystal light, sometimes EAS chocolate protein shake(42g).. Any tips

Hello everyone my sister had the lap band done 2 years ago and has given me some great tips! She said if I'm out shopping or on the run two things I can eat that are low calorie: 1 is from taco bell there pintos and cheese(180 calories)(its refried beans and a little shredded cheese and there red mild sauce) 2 is wendy's chili (300 calories) ( i buy a large and eat on it for a few days). i just had my surgery on Wednesday October 3rd, I went ahead and graduated to soft or pureed foods. So i tried the wendys chili all i did was blend it up in the the food processor and ate it it went down great and most importantly stayed down For taco bell beans all I do is add more red sauce, Sometimes I add fat free sour cream just to spice it up a bit! honestly today I bought 4 of them and plan on eating them over the next few days. i also bought 4 sides of guacamole(35 calories per side) because I love guac.. But that added to your beans is good too! I am struggling to drink enough water though! and tips or recipes you have please share!

Hi fellow October bandsters!! I had my surgery on Oct 3rd 2012, I am still recovering and in alot of pain! I was at the ER last night with terrible pain on my left side! After blood test and xrays they said I have pleurisy which is when the diaphragm is inflamed and it rubs the lining on your lungs. So the gave me a dose of morphine and motrin and gave me extra perscription for Loratab! Every time i take a deep breath on my left side I feel this intense sharp stabbing pain.!! Today its a little better but it is still uncomfortable!! But the positive way of thinking is that I have lost 17 pounds since I started my 2 week pre op diet. And 35 since I started my 6 mo pcp visits with my doc! Thanks for listening

My surgery is in Cincinnati Oh!!

I am finally getting my surgery after meeting all of my insurance requirements! My surgery is on October 3, 2012!! I'm excited and nervous but most of all ready to get it over with. Jessica
