Sorry Vines you did not get the answer you were looking for but I am glad that he did not say Cushings and yes you need more test but as long as you know that maybe they can rule that out in the end. I am sure that you have researched on the PCOS - could it just be an aggresive form? I am really unfamiler with PCOS sorry

HELP HELP HELP!!!! Feeling like I'm choking
Mita replied to Jersey Jesse's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Ok - one the denser the food the more you are going to have the problem. Alot of us cannot do chicken or bread or steak. I for one cannot do them 3 without it coming back up or stuck. Sometimes it just a matter on how the Chicken is prepared - If you know you cannot do it fried - try broiled - try something different with bread.. Sorry you get that way but it happens.. {{hugs}} -
Hi Paula - I have been following this thread - hoping that you could find an answer to the eating. See I have been doing it so I did not want to offer any advice especially if I was not following it.

I so Sorry Louise - What does the doc say? Is there a underlying reason?
-
I am Sorry but keep your chin up and keep up the fight. What Insurance do you have? Do you have Co morbidities? Does the exclusion change if you did?

Question for those that Have Had a Scope done??
Mita replied to Mita's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I can still eat and drink hot/cold it just seems like it comes back up before it goes down. Not an Emrg but it just bothers that it is not like before the scope. I will just call and let them know and maybe I can get an upper GI done. But that takes money as well. I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.. Thank Penni -
I had my scope done of December last year. Now before I had it done the only problem I had was the reflux. I was then able to drink coffee - Hot chocolate. Eat whatever - considering I followed the band rules on my protions. Now after having the scope I cannot really do the above. If I so much as take a couple of sips of Coffee or Hot Chocolate It feels like it is sitting at the base of my esophugus. At first I thought I needed to heal, then I thought well maybe with the nexium I just cannot do that anymore. But I don't know.. What do you think? I was going to call and make an appt but again what can be done unless they go back in there and money wise I just do not have it.

Well I guess I missed the intro part --Which one had he GP? I guess what I am thinking is that even if you are 5 ft and weigh 190 you really do not have much to lose vs someone who is 240 and is 5'6 - to me it is not fair to the other contestants on who loses more in the end. And I do agree the shorter and the more weight you put on adds more stress not only to your system but all of you..

I could have used something last night. I woke up at 12:00 cause it was to hot and then it took me forever to get back to sleep again. This time I am going to go to bed as late as I can and see if I can sleep through the night.
-
I am so sorry to hear about your slip. Now reading your post could your tummy not only be irritated by the PB but did they give you anything to take such as Nexium or Previcid.. Do you think that would help? Just trying to fish for something that hopefully it will lay back in place.. Sorry

Hi shakerrah, I hope you find the resources to help you out:) I have had only a few panic attacks and those are nothing I want to happen to me again. Good Luck We should never judge a book by it's cover..

As you all know My Husband and I are going to be divorced soon. Anyway I never put 2 and 2 together - He has his vehicle for sale and I assumed he was just going to by another one. I have the Chevy Truck and a car in my position. Anyway I just got off the phone with his lawyer and he mentioned to me giving my husband the truck - Hello my car is broken and untill it is repaired I am not giving him the truck. I guess when he said he did not put his car down the lawyer assumed he has no vehicle and therefore was going to order me to give him transportation. Anyway he also told the lawyer that he only makes 10.00 dollars an hour when he makes upwards of 13.00 so there for could not afford maintance and only child support. Anyway talking with the lawyer we do agree on custody and the house. I cannot wait for this to be over so I can move on... I would assume he thinks he is being smart but he is digging himself into a hole. Sorry just had to vent:faint:

Well it's almost noon here and I have not heard anything back from the Lawyer in regards to if he agreed to just do it Cut and Dry. Anyway I will keep filling out the paper work I have and just bide my time. Thank You all for your prayers and thoughts. It was hard yesterday for my 8yr old. He just broke down emotionally and cried. I did everything I could to console him but he is just upset that he daddy though he has changed in how he talks to him is treating us very nicely so why can he not come home? I tried to explain that sometimes it just takes more work than being nice to someone to prove there is a change. I do not talk bad about my STBX and am for him being with his childeren but I cannot change the facts. It breaks my heart to have to see him so sad:( I take him to the Dr today - Might be strep again? I will follow up with him on my concern with my son, he just might need to talk to someone other than me.

You go Girl!!! I am so proud that you took a stand for yourself--

Thanks everyone. He has been giving me his check every friday - but the thought of him trying to sell his vehicle to get his hands on the truck is beyond me. I always complained that the truck was a gas hog and the insurance was way to much. Well he can have the almost 300 dollar payment along with full coverage the bank wants on it. Yes Kelly I feel I being to nice to him but considering that when he is not influenced by his peeps he is pretty easy going. I have prayed and prayed about it and I do not want it to be like War of the Roses.. Bow Wow

Since we are speaking terms and are acting like friends rather than Foe's I thought everything was on the up and up. I know his Lawyer and told him what was going on. He said he would talk to my husband and hear it from him. Anyway I decided against using a Lawyer and he did too till his F%$%^^$% family coxed him in to it again. Sorry they just piss me off. Anyway just going to wait and see where this is going.

WOW I could have used something last night. Now I feel that I could sleep for days. Tonight I am going to try to tire myself out and see how it goes. Thanks Love - I always worry about not being there for my boys.
-
Congrats Carmen.

Wow - I am so glad you posted this Penni. Everynight around 8 to 9pm I swear I could fall asleep on the couch so I get ready for bed and yep then I am wide awake lying down. If I fall asleep then I am woken up by what ever around midnight. Tonight or I should say this moring it was 1:30, so here I am - typing, yawning but not sleepy to lay down.. Now with the pills Lunesta can you be woken up easily? With the kids I would worry about not being able to wake in case of an Emrg.
-
I will have to pass - since Pueblo is like 4-5 hr drive for me. Hopefully another time..

Hi Schel, What you described about your son was the very same thing I went through with my Son 2 yrs ago. I had so many complaints from the school teacher that it was horrible. I went to school everyday. We talked non stop with my son and to no avail. I finally broke down and took him and got him evaluated. They came back with ADHD. But I continued to fight it and would not medicate my son even though I had the results. I am not for medicating so I turned to herbal stuff. It did not work for us - to tell you the truth I was just dragging my son and his self esteem down with my not wanting to medicate him. Anyway each child is different and he does have ADHD and has been on medication (Concerta) My husband does not even want to deal with it but I not only got him help in the dept but I also changed his school. The teachers have been such a great help in talking to him everyday and rewarding good and bad choices. I cannot say enough. But my little guy is on the way to being a fine Gentleman but it does take a team effort to get them to a point that they feel good about themselves and not have everyone harping on the way they act which is out of their control. I wish you all the best and hope that what ever you do it works for him. Let me add it took several rounds of different medications to find the right one. We started with Stattera, Dexidrine and now Concerta Concerta seems to work better for him since he only needs to be controled in school - at home he is your normal - average - energetic child.
