Now that I can lay on my stomached do you think it's safe to see the Chiropractor? It's been one month since surgery but my hips are out and I'm in pain.

After I drink or eat I have this Hiccup/burp thing that's weird. I don't think it's PBing as nothing is coming up. Just curious if anyone else has this too or if I'm doing something wrong

Will I feel the port from here on out every time I move? It has gotten better each day except bending over, I can not bend over like a normal person will this change with time???

Those are great ideas thank you. So far doing great just thinking ahead for family events

Thank you so much. I'm still learning all these little things.

Hopefully mine will get to that point too!

Thank you I was beginning to think something was wrong. Glad I'm not alone!!! Lol

Has anyone had anxiety attacks after being banded? Prior to the mushie stage my last night of liquid which I was very excited for, in the middle of the night I was awaken from deep sleep by an anxiety attack. I've never had this before. The next night fine then tonight after eating I was relaxing while watching a comedy show and suddenly my heart started racing and I went into a full blown attack. I'm calling the Dr on Monday but wanted to see if this may be common?

I could not find a post regarding this but since I started the protein drinks my husband says my breath is not pleasant that it smells of protein even when I brush/use mouth wash. Has anyone else had the issue or have suggestions?

The Doctor believes it may have been an electrolyte imbalance. But says since it happened during the night could be my sub conscience dealing with things I am not i.e....change! I haven't had anymore so that's a good thing.

I have the same issue with the scale. I keep checking and the last few days its stayed the same I know I shouldn't but the first 16 felt good to lose... I want more, Lol.!!!

I went thru True Results and they set up the test to find it. Mine wasn't very big but enough. The procedure to find out the put you out and they put a camera down your throat. You may want to contact True Result and speak with a patient advocate. They will ask if you have heart burn. I had some but not a lot.

Do you have private insurance? I ask because the majority of us that are obese have a hiatal hernia and they can repair that the same as doing the lap band which covers the remainder???.

Where did you get yours? I really like that

This happened to me as I'm sure so many others. I love this site because you can talk about all the things that offend most and it's casual conversation here. This is my type of place! Love it
