Hey, How are things going for you? I've been out of touch for a while now. Are you still in Schweinfurt? Still here in Wiesbaden. I won't see Weiner again until August which is 1 year out for me. I'm down 70lbs today. Not easy but I'm progressing. Update me.
Take Care

hi army wife,
im in germany right now @ ramstein and i was just wondering if you ever heard of anyone getting it done at landstuhl? i know this is stupid but im so embarrased to even call for an appointment with my regular provider. im afraid ill get denied. im 22 5'8 246 pounds. i have arthritus and a hip dieses that can only be cured by a hip replacement.i just had my first son back in november and i cant even sit on the floor for 10 minutes without my butt and back hurting from all the weight.
do you think i have a chance?

armywife4life posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, i swallowed a piece of hard candy i was sucking on. It was still pretty good circle size. It feels kind of stuck. I have no fill at the moment in my badn (thank god) But should i be worrying?? Will it eventually go thru? Or should i be contacting someone?? -
Help, Pain left side under rib??
armywife4life posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I have been experiencing pain under the left side bottom rib, maybe lil more toward center. It comes and goes, no ryme or reason, but is sharp. Sometime it even stays around for awhile. I went to liquids yesterday to see if i can get it to help, still waiting. Anyone else experience this pain?? -
Thanks Army wife! your son is adorable! I finally have a surgery date! This Thursday begins my journey!

Glad everyone is doing great Allie good job on getting thru such a tough day! I teach ur kid Congrats on onderland I am feeling better now, its weird not having anything in my band i forgot what it is like LOL.. Not that i really had alot of restriction(well until the fill that went bad LOL) But I can say my eating habbits are better, i still go small portions im hoping by next week i will feel good enough to start working out again. Bonus for me is my sister is coming Tomorrow. She will be here till next Sunday im so excited to show her some of Germany. I honestly don't think im gonna get another fill for a long time. Im gonna see how i do without one. I have to fly in June back stateside and i worry that if im filled i will get to tight. Then what the heck am i gonna do on a 10 hr. flight LOL Plus i still have to fly again another 3 hrs to get to OK, then I fly up to michigan and back also. So gals wish me luck im gonna try this with no fill and see how i do. You all are doing great and i love seeing all the support we give eachother. It never fails to make my day!

Any issues with flying after a lap-band
armywife4life replied to PharmaGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
keep posting friends, i will be flying from Germany stateside in June and would like to hear how all international flights went. I had a complete unfill and dont' think i will be filling again till after i get back in Aug. -
Hi everyone, Well things have not been so great in my world. I had a fill from hell, then some taken out, then all of it taken out. Right now its just an empty band and i. It has been about 2 weeks since all of this started. And somethign is just not right with me. I dont' think its the band, but their for awhile i was having episodes like hypoglycemia?? It really freaked me out, i had all the fill removed and have just been resting and reseting myself. Thankfully after the fill was removed the episodes stopped. I have developed the awful reflux though from the fill that was to tight, but my doc put me on Prilosec and it seem to be better. Im hoping now with no fill it will stop completely plus with the help of the prilosec. It has been awful not feeling good, and im hoping that soon i will be back to my old self. I think i might have a thyroid issue, its been 2 weeks and im still waiting on the dang results(base clinic in Germany sucks) My hands and feet get freaking cold off and on through out the day, its freaking me out LOL. But im still diggin my band, just waiting till i can feel like my old self.

Hi, i know we are not aloud to really use NSAIDS which Motrin is one. But sometimes Tylenol just does not cut the muscle ache pain i have. I am wondering if anyone occassionally uses Motrin and what dosage do you use? Any problems you have had?? Etc.
