Question for those with good restriction
msmommy replied to Mom2_4's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I could have written that myself! Somedays I can barely swallow my own spit and other days I can eat like a horse. What gives? LOL -
Just moved, need a Dr. in MS, AL or FL who will adjust band.

I ended up using Dr. Avara in Ocean Springs. Did you ever find anyone? -
He said I should not be vomiting on clear liquids. He asked me if I hear a bubbling noise when I swallow I told him yes, everytime. He told me that I have alot of swelling and my band is really tight. I now have to stay on clear liquids until I can start keeping them down and get this..I have to drink with a teaspoon! It is so hard! He told me if I can't get 2 liters down a day I am gonna get dehydrated. The good part of this is I am losing about a lb a day right now. I just hope I don't get dehydrated. <!--IBF.ATTACHMENT_21138-->

I am 5 days post-op and still on clear liquids. I can tolerate some things, and other things I throw up. For instance, today I drank some diluted apple juice and within minutes I could feel a huge knot in my stomach all the way to my back and then I start spitting it back up. I have a call in to my Doctor, but I am really concerned about my band. I am a self-pay so the worry is even more intense. Did anyone else have this happen? If so, is your band fine? Thank you so much to anyone who replies.

I live in South MS and am being banded in Mexico 2 weeks from today. I am also looking for someone to do my fills other than Dr. Avara..that price is crazy! Let me know if you find anyone. I have called all the way from Mobile to New Orleans with no luck. -
I agree about the negative comments. I actually had to quit reading most of the threads here because of it. You can't judge how successful you will be by others. That is what I keep telling myself. Hang in there!

This is the MS forum..I think he was kidding you! I am from the coast as well.

We live in Hurley..I am sure you know where that is!
-
Wow! You have lost 36 lbs..that is GREAT! My bestfriend goes to that same gym you are speaking of. We actually live just North of Pascagoula.

I am going to Mexico next month. I researched it so much and finally realized that it was a good option for me since I am a self pay. I cannot find a single complaint about the Dr I am going to. I will let you know the outcome. Good luck!

I will be banded in Mexico by Dr. Ortiz/Martinez on this day!
-
I am also from South MS. I have had a consult with Dr. Avara, but have decided to let Dr. Ortiz in Mexico do mine. The price is cut in half and I am a self pay. mrsjiggles I would love to hear how your progress is?

I was determined to self-pay, but I called my insurance company today and they will pay 100% if my BMI is over 40 and I do 6 months with a Dr. under a diet program first. I am 7 lbs away from my BMI being 40. 7 lbs is nothing right? I could gain that in no time. I know it seems silly to gain weight first, but it's only 7 lbs and I could keep my $15K I was gonna pay. Any thoughts?

Anybody feel like this is JUST NOT WORKING for them?

I am sure the double post was an accident.. I am very sorry you are going through this. It really puts a perspective on things when I have such a tough decision to make on this surgery.
