Do you find that vomiting has become part of your post VSG life?
camony replied to FamilyGuyNJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a lap band and have no problems with vomiting or getting food stuck... but then again I am still on liquid... I can bend and move better into certain positions and don't feel like it gets stuck any more when I move.. like I use to .. Sometimes I would feel the band get twisted or prevent me from bending -

I had something similar happen to me.. when I had my lap-band done... I didn't get my denial until after the surgery... I don't even get how this is possible after the fact.. I don't understand how they can approve something and then deny it... In my case only %30 of the bill was covered... My surgeon actually ended up eating the cost and The hospital was not allowed to bill me. I still don't understand it all... good luck to you

My Hunger Has Returned!!
camony replied to jessjames's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First of all congratulations on 100 lbs that is amazing! Great job... I am 10 days post op ...your comment made me think of the pre-diet we all do before surgery.. Maybe if you tried that and took it as serious as Pre-surgery maybe that might help kick the cravings .. No caffeine, no sweets., no potatoes, rice... only lean proteins.. and 45 minute walks.. hope that helps... good luck -

Help! I ate a whole Pizza. How??
camony replied to wlsfeb2017's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm glad I read this with all the comments.. It definitely (I hope) will help me with my mindset. I didn't know that eating carbs would be so easy to do.. I thought with the sleeve it would provide the restriction I need not to over eat.. Now I know...I hope you can put this behind you and move on to better choices now that you know.. -

Was banded on the 18th..things having been going well until tonight..I gave into a temptation and ate chicken wings and some pizza. Suppose to be only eating yogurt consist foods. Yikes now I'm having pain in my lower left side. I did chew really really good. I think the pain is not from tbe food but maybe a ligment.. well I'm on the couch resting... sucks

Ok so I called the dr. Felt like I was calling the preist and doing a confessional . So all is good. Just to stick to my diet and the pain is probably from gas build up. Yes I did here him chuckle. Lol. Ok no laughing matter but lesson learned. And let me tell you how I got to this point so if anyone else is doing or did the same thing I did maybe they might stop before making this mistake. I started out with my husband insisting I taste a piece of his steak. I did a tiny little sliver. Well nothing happened. So I did it again. And again. Then I ate some cheezets nothing happened but a little gas pain. Then it escalated before you know it I was eating chicken wings and pizza . Ok so obviously the reason why I had this done is because I have poor self control.well a lesson learned. The pain has subsided but ive broke wind quite a few times today. Lol save me from myself.

What can I do to get comfortable-3rd day post op
camony replied to Brooklenm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The pain pill will go do without difficulty. I did not have a problem . I was nervous too. I was able to swallow it whole without breaking it in half. The doctor also told me it would not be a problem, but if I was nervous I could score it. But it wasn't necessary. -
That is amazing that you never had a fill an still are meeting your goal. Congratulations on being happy and at goal!

epigastric discomfort and bowel movements
camony posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi I am 6 days post op and concerned about 2 things. I am still using pain pills because of the discomfort that I feel from the band. I constantly feel gas pressure on the band which makes it very uncomfortable. I take anatacids too which dont seem to help. ! Also after 4 days I had no bowel movement so took prune juice and milk of mag. Considering I'm on a liquid diet the bowels should just be moving liquid right?. I'm just worried about impaction from no bowel movement for 4 days. I also have to take Milk of mag daily now. -

Thanks that actually makes me feel much better to know.. I only really started walking yesterday and maybe over did it a little. I came back home and crashed for 2 hours. Was so drained. I do keep my fluids up and make sure I'm taking in enough protein thru my shakes. So paranoid losing my hair. So I heard the protein is essential in aiding against hair loss.
