PEOPLE WHO ONLY DID 3 day liquid pre op diet
libbyb replied to rollargirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I only have a 30 bmi too! Yeow! -
Hey.. I'm not sure of the product you are taking (I live on the other side of the world and have never heard of it) but Make sure its not zinc oxide in your zinc supplements (we are lucky to absorb 5% of the amount). The best supplement is when there is a mix of zinc aspartate and zinc orotate. I take a supplement that has 50mg of aspartate and 25mg of the other one and that maintains my zinc levels fine.

With my lapband the anaesthetist screwed up and I woke up on the operating table as they were finishing up. So painful! and I keep having dreams about it with my revision surgery in 3 weeks! So did you with Lopez wake up in a normal bed a few hours later? haha x

libbyb replied to pandashazz's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
oh wow thank you for that. I am actually flying out from New Zealand! So I have sort of that long a flight to get there (going via London)! 24 hours + 12 hours (yuk!) That's really helpful though thank you so much, I was worried reading about blood clots etc but sounds ok if I just keep moving! -

Sherri3388 I am in exactly the same boat as you! Plus I have a crapband too and it hasn't worked at all! I need the hormones cut off to my brain! I have to workout 1.5 hours a day and eat super healthy only to maintain a bmi of 30. Suuuuucks. -

libbyb replied to mikeross's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Question. What's the point in getting 2/3s of your stomach cut off only to eat that much? -
I have a band. Worst thing I ever did. In for revision surgery in a month! Thank god!
-
Hi debH. Please keep my informed of your weight loss. My story is exactly yours! I am having a revision in a month but so scared it won't work, like the band

I'm getting revision in one op in a month! Can't wait. Bands shouldn't be put in anymore. They suck!
