I'm a retired teacher . Where I am from teaching jobs are hard to come by. I would not take off. Reschedule to another day . Can you wait till break especially since you have been taking a lot of days off

That was very helpful. Thank you

I have 9cc in my 14 cc band. No good restriction yet. Doctor says it will come. I didn't realize you can go up to 14 cc because band can stretch. He said I can come in every 2 weeks. I think you have to just wait it out. Everyone has a different stomach

Hi I had the lapband 5 weeks ago. It's early in the game so I can't really judge how it is working. My 20 year old daughter is scheduled for January. Now I'm wondering if I should have her have the sleeve because it seems easier and she has more to lose. Any advise wouldaappreciateappreciatedp

I wasn't assuming. I was answering your question with information I received

Nothing he said just go easy that day. Also doesn' t have strict preop just 2 days clear and then after soft foods on 5th day. He has been banding a while and no one has problems

My doctor doesn't make me go on liquids after fill. I don't understand it

My daughter banded yesterday. Just 2 days of clear fluid. She did fine but in pain. She starts back at college mon. Hope shell be ok

The only thing I would check out in Mexico is the size of the band. They use a lot of 4cc bands which they don't use in the states anymore because of problems. Mine is 14 cc.the companies sell them to Mexico cheap because us doesn't want them.

I feel bloated for a day or 2 after a fill. My bra even feels tight. I still don't have restriction after 4 fills

If you got thru the surgery then you can get throught the fill. What did you mean when you said the surgery was all for nothing because of insur

I eat a lot of chili. I also buy stouffers frozen dinner. The chicken and mashed pot is only 220 calories and I add a vegetable

Possibly if you are laying down. I was lucky I never got nauseous .

Try ordering old navy online. You can get a coat for 20

How do you contact him

I can't private message anyone. I don't know why. Is there anyway to fix it?

B-52 No belly fat! That's wonderful

I am 6 weeks post op feeling no restriction. Why did I get this surgery when everyone on this forum talks about losing all this weight without fills. Most of you are saying its not the band. Then why would you or I have gotten it to just be on a diet. I can diet without band. I am regretting my decision

Also I have a 14cc band with 3 cc in. My surgeon puts the largest in so I imagine this wil take me longer

B-52 wow did you say it all! It's a tool installed that hasn't been activated yet! Now I understand. I did research this for 2 years! I wanted to do this first to support daughter who is getting it in jan. I honestly did not understand that it could take 6 months. at least now I can guide her better when in her first months. But I don't want to be obsessed with weighing and measuring . That's what I did in the past. That's not what I thought I had to do.

I should have read this post before I posted

It encourages me when I see celebs have done well with lapband. Does anyone know if Sharon Osborne got hers removed. She mentioned on her show she wanted to. She has it longer than anyone I ever read of

Ok just heard Sharon Osborne on Howard stern this min. Said she had lapband lost 100 lbs. had it taken out because she thought it was unhealthy . Gained 30 lost it on Atkins . Spokes person for Atkins .

That's righ too. The one sight celebs with lap have it all screwed up.

Do you know why she had it removed?
