Complications With Band..Scare Tactics?
boccob81 replied to HalloweenBaby24's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If it was a easy lifestyle change people would not gain it back when the change the lifestyle . Remember wls is a tool to help you achieve the ability to maintain the goal you want to get to ..I had the lap band. First it I lost the hundred pounds. in three months and then it slipped causing me not to be able to swallow, then I have them take it out and couple months later put it back in because they would not cover the gastric sleeve . And then now the band was slipping again and my insurance covered the sleeve this time and May 30 I had to sleeve . As of May 30 have lost 30+ pounds and I'm on soft foods hopefully losing more pounds. But I'm getting able to do more things as far as exercise . But the gastric effects every one dif it's not a walk in the park it's a lifestyle change that's hard to go back to your old ways . Good luck and follow your own heart and mind . I was scared for many years before I did the band I always thought I would lose it on my own . Yea I lost it then it came back . -
A exercise question and hello
boccob81 replied to ELPMax's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Follow what the dr says first , I started with the elliptical abd when I did I felt like I was going to die, after a couple days I was feeling better . Just take it slow also I started 15 min then moved on every week, tell I was able to get to 60 mins . Right now my knee is killing me had to stop for a week or so but I think it from losing weight fast and over compensating the shift of weight .. Good luck just take it slow . -
I have knee problems about a month out of surgery may 30 . If I sit it does not hurt but the min I get up and stand up the back side of the right knee does not feel like it wants stretch out and it is tight the right side of the knee is inflamed .. My lower back is killing me to . I figure it has to do with weight loss not sure but stoped the cardio

I am taking alive multivitamin Pepcid twice a day and nexium twice a day .. Next to my gym I get a b12,6,1 and frolic acid shots just started that this week . I do about 60 min on elliptical . I eat cream of wheat , mash potatoes single serving just add water cups . Lots of string cheese through out the day or sharp cheddar cheese ..I can eat on can of tuna that's when I feel full after I eat the tuna some days I can eat the whole 5 oz can of tuna and most of the time half . But it's the only thing that makes me feel full . Have not weighed my self waiting to see the dr in a couple weeks . Side note my knee is killing me so taking a few days off from the cardio using my tens unit hopefully that will help

boccob81 replied to Mom2IrishTwins's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same issue I started taking nexium and Pepcid and it helps a lot but Pepcid by it self did nothing I was eating tums like candy nothing but the two combined seemed to work for now . Dr says I need to get regular abd it will go away I not sure if that's the case
