ok what is biotin? and is there a certain kind of multi vit i should b taking? i have no idea on what to take,,, im so confused

i have not yet had my surgery,, and from the things i read on here about the getting stuck episodes just scare the bajesus outtta me,, i was trying to practice last night eating spagetti... ha ha that didnt work at all,, i inhaled it,,, i have so many worries about this now,,PLUS i worry about loosing my hair,,, i plan to do as my surgeon instructs me to do,,,, OK so back to the stuck thing,, this is going to be a gross question but i need to know,, when u said you went and took care of business did that mean u went and threw up? do u gag and throw up (as if you was sick with the flu like from your stomach) because if im sick (which is so very very rare) and when i do throw up u can hear me a mile away,,i heave and heave,,, so will i do that if i have a stuck episode? i know gross,,,or does it just come out real easy,,,, plz plz let me know this answer,,,im not hiding the fact that im having this surg but i dont wanna be in arestraunt and in bathroom heave hoing for everyone to hear lol

I am 56 yrs old and I'm going to true tesults in Richardson tx to have mine done in dec 2012 I'm hoping I don't loose my hair or have any complications. I'm very healthy. Except I'm 235 lbs that's not healthy I go in this mon for nutri and psyc eval. Insur requires it. I'm not real concerned with saggy skin right now. Just more about loosing hair. I plan to eat/ drink plenty of protein. Any suggestions for THIS NEWBIE?????

i know the feeling,,, i hope to be banded by dec 5th,,, and im getting anxious about all the getting stuck episodes,, i dont want to be throwing up or be in agony with food stuck in my stomach,,, not sure if i made the right decision or not,,, think im reading wayyy to much stuff on here,,, im about 2 shakes of a lambs tail of backing out

i have a question about the protein shakes,,,,,where do u buy the adkins shakes,,, as u can see i dont diet,,, but will be banded next month,,, so im getting prepaired,,, thanks for any answers

ahhh ok thanks,,, i see ppl say that all the time and had not a clue to what they was talking about,,,, thank you ohhh wait a min,,, does productive burp mean puking??? i just reread your post,,, now im wondering again what productive burp is,,,, hmmmm

what is an PB episode,,,im a newbie to all this hope u get that fixed

could eat it every day,,, and homemade tortillias omg i would be in heaven

my fav food,,, just hope i can eat it after banding,,,if just a few bites will be ok with me,,,yummo

I WAS JUST WONDERING WHERE IS THE PORT AT IN YOUR STOMACH,,,IS IT ABOVE BELLY BUTTON,,ON THE SIDE OR UNDER BELLY BUTTON,,, JUST NOW THOUGHT TO ASK THAT QUESTION ANY ANSWERS WOULD BE APPRECIATED,,, AND IS IT CLOSE TO THE SKIN???

thanks u guys for the answers,,, i guess i should ask the surgeon where he plans to put it,,, i just dont want it to fit at my waist line where i button up my jeans,, thinking that it would hurt like He^^ if it was put right there,,, and i dont wear low riders lol

I JUST FINISHED MY SLEEP STUDY TODAY,, BUT MINE WAS SENT TO MY HOUSE AND IT WAS A HEADBAND I PUT ON WITH TUBES UP MY NOSE,,, THERE IS NO TELLING HOW BAD I SNORED AND TALKED IN MY SLEEP (MY HUBBY SAID I WAS DOING SOME TALKING) OH GREAT LOL,, THEN THE SECOND NIGHT I JUST PULLED IT OFF AND THREW IT ON THE FLOOR,,, IT STARTED BEEPING FOR ME TO PUT BACK ON,,, I DID,, THEN I WOKE UP BEFORE THE 7 HRS WAS UP AND TURNED IT OFF,, I MAY HAVE FAILED,,, I DONT KNOW,,, WAS GLAD I DID IT AT HOME AND DID NOT HAVE TO GO TO A SLEEP STUDY PLACE,,,

oh my i dont like tht u A1990 did not get to see the dr B,,, im going in on monday for bloodwork ekg and whatever else they do there,,, i dont have a surg date yet,,, now im a little worried they will hurry me up also,,,, tell me what else u didnt like,,, i went 2 weeks ago for the free consult and everyone was nice and things moved smoothly,,, but now that i look back on it,,, they did seem to wanna rush my surg date,,, oh geeze what have i done,, may need to rethink this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i have blue cross blueshierl IL and had no problem with them paying,, im 56 yrs old weigh 235 and take cholesterol meds,,, i only have to pay my $1500 deductable but thats better than $9000 for surg,,, they only required me to see nutritonlist and have physchiarist eval,, (which is no big deal) its all done right there at true results where i plan to have my procedure done,,, goood luck

i too am going to richardson ,, so far so good,,,of course im still in the insur part of it,,phsyc testing ,,blood work and sleep apnea study tonight and tomorrow night,,,but so far they have been great with me and i can come up with some really crazy questions too,,, So a1990 did u like dr benavides,,, thats who is doing mine

so so so happy for you,,, you are doing a great job,,, i hope i do as well as you do,,, keep up the fab work,,and CONGRATULATIONS !!

Today i took the first step of a whole new lifestyle or at least i hope so, I have been reading a lot of different post on here and im starting to get a little scared of getting banded, So many ppl seem to throw up a lot and i dont want to do that all the time,, I go on wed for my consultation and i am excited but also scared,,Any advise out there for this old 56 yr old woman?? And another big question is HOW DO U TAKE PILLS ? will i have to crush my meds every night ,, see now im getting more and more worried about this,, i really need some encouragement about this decision im about to make

lol it is a little freaky looking,,, im going to try this when i get mine in LOL
