Soda soda soda
DebbsHereNow replied to MrsFlipFlops's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My doctor asked me again if I was drinking soda and I said occassionally. He said do not drink it, it will cause problems down the road, so I have decided to totally stop and no more cheating with Dr, Pepper, haha! anyway, I have found those packets that you pour into water bottles from Wyler's and Chrystal light and I like them. As much as I used to love water, believe it or not, it makes me gag sometimes now. Crazy, isn't it? Good Luck to Everyone, I am just a half pound away from losing 50 pounds and almost under 200!:thumbup: -
Had a tummy tuck today

I wish you all the best! It feels good losing sizes, but this belly skin seems always in the way of a smaller size. Hopefully by next summer I can get lots of skin cut off and a boob job! Take care:thumbup: -
Hello Veronica, I have not been on here in a while but I was wondering how you are doing. I have lost almost 50 pounds and it seems like it took forever but it was a while until they found my sweet spot, Now I love having the lapband!

I wanted this second fill so badly and now I am sorry. I am so tight in the morning, and if I eat anything in the morning I am in trouble all day long. after having a small piece of zucchinni bread after a morning cup of tea I knew I made a mistake. I have been throwing up all day today even water.... I will be calling the doctor first thing in the morning.

Have not done to good yet have had first fill lost 15lbs but guess that is better than nothing the Dr says I am taking it off slowly which is good but I get real axious but still it is cause I do slip up and eat popcorn and chicken wings(I loveeeeeeee chicken wings) so that is my hidden secret lolol. have good retriction tho. enought about me, how are you doing? Let me know I have no one to share experience with. take care GOD BLESS

what is a fluro? My doctor had a hard time finding my port the first time also and I am concerned that the fill did not go into the band, I am as hungry as ever and I can eat almost anything. But I only had one fill so far. Thanks Debbie

I had my first fill today also. The doctor had a hard time finding the port. I asked him how he knew he finally found it, he said he put some in and then withdrew it again. I hope it worked. Got 2 and half ccs. I am hungry still put I have to do liquids for a few days then mushy again. I wonder how long till I find the perfect fit -
my doctor tried to talk me into the bypass also, I don't know why they do this except that there is a quicker initial weight loss. But by doing alot of research, it seems like the band is better in the long run. I don't want to sound too negative, but the health problems will be just around the corner when you are overweight. I am a prime example. For years I said I am happy and healthy, then my BP went way up and my knees started really hurting. The Lapband is the tool I need to help me get healthy again

well I guess I am going to join the club because I had one too! He did know about it before surgery and told me he was going to repair it. I never had any of the signs of it, so I wonder how many have them also without knowing. Things are going good for me although the weight loss is stalled and I have no idea why because the number of calories I eat a day does not seem like it could keep me alive!!! oh well, we will see what happens....

thanks for the invite! I took my hubby last year to Dallas to see the Cowboys ( his team) and the Eagles ( my team). When my team won I was thrilled!!!! Anyway, the suburbs of Philly has beautiful countryside and alot of history, if you like that sort of thing! Take care Debbie

Soda soda soda
DebbsHereNow replied to MrsFlipFlops's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I miss it! I did love Diet Dr Pepper too! I miss it so much, but I want to be successful in this whole thing so I am never going to have it again. One day I bought some Diet 7UP and put it in the blender and let it go flat, but it was just not the same. So Everytime I crave soda I will just feel how small my stomach is getting and grab the water bottle instead! -
Should I be concerned about my surgeon?
DebbsHereNow replied to h@rt*s mommy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
my goodness they have to start somewhere! My surgeon is only 34 and I asked him how many lapbands he had done and he said 100. I was a bit worried but he was very caring and checked up on me constantly. You have to go with your gut instinct! -
Diarreha and cramping?
DebbsHereNow replied to someoneinnj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would call your doctor and tell him all about this.
