DtDtKty

Congratulations Aileena!! Way to go. Isn't it amazing to be able to eat small portions and feel full. I have been struggling with this as of late, but when I do feel it, I love it. Keep up the good work.

You are too fun Delarla...and brave...taking this stuff before you knew what it was. I do admit that I am intrigued now. I will have to do more research on it. I tend to have a poor immune system and seem to always be coming down with something. I went on Ebay and typed in "Xango". There are a lot of bottles for sale at a price less than the $37.00. I may have to check it out.

I agree with Kathy. I would wait and reschedule when you return home. My doctor won't even fill you if you are getting ready to go on a trip or vacation. She thinks it's just too much and your eating habits won't be the same as when you are home. If it were me, I would definitely reschedule the fill. Enjoy your trip, as much as you can in a third world country, and then get a fill when you return. Just my 2 cents.

I think that you will find that everyone is pretty much fiercely loyal to their type of WLS. I know I have said that I would NEVER have bypass or RNY. A lot of those folks would say the same thing about a band. I would just focus on what you believe in and get your information from reliable sources. It does "suck" when others put down the band, but you know....that's their loss. Best of luck to you.

No problem. We have four kitties. They are our "fur babies". I can't imagine life without them.

You can get liquid Children's Motrin. I used to take it at the start of a really bad headache because liquid works faster than pills. You just have to figure out the correct doseage. One Motrin/Ibuprofen pill is 200mg so you have to figure how much liquid equals the amount of pill you want. I can always help you with that. (I am an RN) The heating pads also sound like a good idea. Another idea would be going to a natural food store or somewhere like GNC and see about more natural supplements that could help. Best of luck to you.

Like DeLarla said, it's no big deal. Just a physical to make sure everything that is vital is doing what it is supposed to do. How funny...your name is Heather too and your user name has kitty in it...my DtDtKty stands for Doot Doot Kitty. Best of luck to you as you navigate this journey.

Congratulations Estela!!!! How appropriate....Independence Day.... I can't wait to be free from my tummy. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure everything will work out well for you. Best of luck. Hugs to you.

I am on the same train....We had "tried" to get pregnant for a couple of months earlier in the year, but I ovulation and hormones were all off. I have possible PCOS and fat cells hold Estrogen, so no wonder I was having issues at the highest weight of 292.4. A major motivation to lose weight, beyond getting healthy, is to have a baby. I was assured that it was perfectly safe to do with the band. Best of luck to you.

It is really an individual thing. It may help that you are starting at a lower weight. I had surgery Thursday afternoon and was really sick from the anesthesia Thurs. and Fri. I went home on Saturday and started feeling more like myself by Monday night or Tuesday. I remember that I was back sitting by the computer by Sunday. Best of luck to you. Make sure that they give you nausea medicine (an antiemetic), like Zofran, before you go under, and then routinely give it to you while you are there. The anesthesia stays in your body for a while. For me, the nausea was worse than the pain. Good luck.

Welcome Melissa. So glad you found us. It sounds like you are well on your way in starting this journey. July will be here before you know it. Best of luck to you.

Welcome to LBT Jamie. As Teresa and Paula stated, there is a huge wealth of information on this site at your disposal. I encourage you to read, read, read and learn as much as you can about your options. Best of luck to you.

Welcome to LBT!!! How wonderful that you have such great family support. This is a great place for support and information too. I love that one of your reasons for losing weight is so you can keep up with your kids. This is also one of my reasons...so when I have kids, I can keep up with the little rug rat. Best of luck to you as you begin this journey.
