I'm glad you're going to see your doctor. Make sure you tell him you had anxiety about coming back for a visit since you gained the weight back. No disrespect to any of the doctors and surgeon but, he is working for you.

The gas pain is from the gas they pump inside the cavity for the operation. Gas X won't touch. it has to absorb back into the body. I went on youtube and found leslie sansone's walk off the pounds and did the one mile walk every day. Doc said to keep moving that helps the body to reabsorb the gas.

First time food stuck
relief57 replied to Christy929's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good to know. I had cottage cheese and banana at midnight and I can still feel the pressure. I've been drinking liquids but to no avail so far. No pain though. -
Interesting......

I think I'm stuck. I ate five ounces of cottage cheese and a half of a banana at midnight last night and it feels like its still sitting in my throat. I work an overnight shift.

sublingual b12 and calcium crystals
relief57 replied to nancy264's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found bariatric chewables on amazon. tired of them after two weeks but still work. -
I felt nauseous in recovery. The nurse gave me medication for it. It knocked me back out but no nausea. Are you drinking a lot of liquids at one time? Definitely check with your doctor, violent vomiting doesn't sound like a normal event especially right after surgery. Keep in mind too we all respond differently to surgery and the band. Good Luck.

Two weeks post op and first follow visit. I will not get my first fill for another four weeks. My doctor wants me to get use to eating normally with the band before filling it. I'm ok with that. He gave me five rules to live by as a bander. 1. Only eat when I'm hungry. 2. No more liquid calories. Drink no calorie liquids. 3. Avoid Carbs as much as possible. 4. Eat meet that you can crumble with your fingers (its soft opposed to hard and stringy). 5. Eat tiny portions (as much as you can hold in the palm of your hands). try and wait a few hours before drinking water after a meal to prevent washing your food down. that defeats the purpose. The food should sit in your pouch for awhile to help you feel satiated. I have already began to notice old habits fade. I eat minimally and feel fine.

My doctor gave me referrals for the psych exam. The one I chose did the MMPI in addition to two depression scale inventories and a sit down interview. It took about two hours. My brother had lap band surgery as well it only took him 30 minutes. It should have been the other way around .

Does Overeating Cause Anxiety?
relief57 replied to lapnicky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Depends on how you relate to food. If you are anxious about loosing weight and overeat yes that will cause anxiety. -
Frustrated - Water intake?!
relief57 replied to YummyMummy101's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
4 bottles of Water is what we need to intake. My plan: consider the pill box method and label the four bottles. Set your cell phone to remind you 45 minutes after the hour to drink a bottle. I have the opposite problem. I'm stuck on the liquid diet and let myself get too hungry before I eat. I know have chicken, tuna, and egg salad prepared for those moments. Hope this helps. -
Pre-surgery...I think i blew it... help?
relief57 replied to JenryD's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
It happens. Surely she won't dismiss all your hard work for six months. One things for sure STOP WORRYING. It only provides another reason to eat your comfort foods. In fact, this might be a good time to do some self reflection and try to determine what emotions were related to your slip. -
good to know thanks.

Laughing out loud.....we still have the jelly Beans sitting on the table. I knew if I started I probably wouldn't stop either. So I feel your plight. Just get rid of em and save yourself the agony.

Terrible shoulder pains
relief57 replied to futureformerfattie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear you're in pain. The gas has to absorb into your body to be diffused. Antacids won't help. I used a walk off the pounds video by Leslie Sansone. You can find it on youtube. Its a low impact exercise and usually covers a lot of muscles in the upper and lower body. Contacting your doctor is a good idea too. Good Luck. -
Does Your Band Get Tighter A Few Days after Your Fill
relief57 replied to dmh102's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
looking forward to that -
A test of stamina...Easter dinner with the family. This was really difficult as all my favorites were prepared. Good thing I'm 8 days banded otherwise I just might have overdone it. checked in with the doctor before to see if I could have anything on the menu but was limited to Chicken, Tuna or Egg Salad. So, this is truly a lifestyle change. What better day to begin than Resurrection Sunday.

info on lapband center requirements
relief57 replied to nbarreda's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely check out other options. justwatchme has a very good point....it will be a long relationship. My team didn't give me a confirmed out of pocket because if they had to do more dueoring pth eration i read someone else's post and they had to pay for fills, so make sure these people don't come up with some post surgical cost that they forgot to tell you about....good luck in your search. -
