dna

Yesterday I went to pre surgery consult. He spoke of his last patient wanting the band removed due to nausea. I can take some but will it let up? I'm getting banded on 12-17-07 and starting to go through a fret and worry stage.

Hello to all, I love to read all that you have to say, this site is the most help I have found from real people on-line. I'm really ready for this, but theres alot I need to learn. 6 mo. ago I was diagnosed diabetic and it has ben kicking my butt. All my life I have been fat but never felt the effects of it ...till this last year. I cant wait to be healthy again. I can truley say that I feel so optomistic about the New Year because getting banded will be the best grip on my lifestyle and bad eating choices and portion control. I'm being banded in a new baratric program that opened in Saginaw, MI. My Dr. is Chad Ringley and I go to monthly support groups. Dr Ringley had performed hundreds of bandings but just developed this program in my area. Otherwise I would have had to go to Flint, MI which I did not prefer to do. Needless to say, I'm hungry because I 'm on day 2 of liquids pre op. Thanks for being out there..

These things are so hard to get down ( bitter) I try to mask it in with sf pudding etc but still bad. Before I call my Dr. and act stupid maybe someone else knows is there liquid metformin ?

I was banded on monday and today is friday. I was really nervous and so frightened of the upper gi afterwords . It was not anything I should of feared. I'm on soft and pureed foods. I have not felt hungery. I felt as though I was in the ring with Mike Tyson for a full 15 rounds though. I take metformin for diabetes and must crush them. I think they are the most vile tasting things ever. Any advise.</p>
