I was sleeved on 8/2... been sleeping sitting half way propped up with 2-3 pillows.. ready to sleep in own bed on flat back or side but scared of getting pain..anyone else sleeping comfortably? Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Eyeshadow ladies! I had this problem when I had the band surgery (it's out thank goodnesss) but you will lose hair inevitable... take your vitamins biotin wash your hair less times a week but use eyeshadow that matches your hair color and blend it on on your scalp this way when you're out in the sun it's not as noticeable.. it's only temporary.. hair loss sucks but will regrow Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

This is awesome!! Thank you for sharing! I'm reading a lot of band to sleeve conversions at same surgery. I'm so glad that you're kicking @$$!!!! Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to the same. As far as surgery with band removal I'm on the same page. Surgeon said bandsters lose at a slower pace and I was okay with that but you have given me a boost cause you're almost at the 100 mark and that's a huge deal!!!!! I started at 230 and I can't get past the 201 number on the scale it's driving me nuts along with weighing myself every morning.. Good luck to you!!!![emoji813]️ Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

So it gets difficult with dense food? I'm worried something is wrong with me 3 weeks post op and it feels like I'm getting my water soups and egg salad down no problems Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

[emoji1327] I did! Slow paced felt good!! Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Guys! Just had 3 oz of egg salad and accidentally sipped on some water right after finishing.... felt a tiny tightness but has gone away.. am I not supposed to feel restriction eating them drinking right after?? Is something wrong with me? [emoji853] Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Ditto! [emoji40] Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Sweet!! More of an incentive to invest in one! Thanks for sharing!!!! Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Any recommendations for "good tasting" whey isolate without soy? Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

I wish! Going on day 7 of the russian red Day 2/3/4 super heavy I'm hoping it lightens and shortens up I'm 41 and may be hitting menopause soon Not looking forward to that either Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Does it taste yummy? I don't like the aftertaste the bariatric vitamins leave on my tongue and I don't like that the ones I've purchased are made with soy... I was looking at these tespos online Looks like a great investment.. but what's it taste like and does it leave you with filmy overly sweet tongue [emoji58] Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Get yourself to the hospital! When I had my lapband I was dehydrated I couldn't swallow water at all.. please don't let it get that far it's awful! Get yourself some popsicles the sugar free ones, suck on ice chips drink sip on crystal light but get try to get it in or check in to er if you're having pain issues with drinking..don't wait start sipping or chewing ice now Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

I got a binder when I was at the hospital and I love it! They gave me two. So one keeps me together if you know what I mean during the day.. too much flab slapping around.. it doesn't feel like I'm splitting open when I get up or mobile doing things around the house, helps my posture.. I bind the two at night loosely around and it prevents me from scratching the living daylights out of my healing itchy stomach.. and honestly I think it's melting some fat around my waist and giving me some form.. or so I wanna believe [emoji12] Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

I'm so sorry to hear this may you both recover soon and enjoy your journey in a more peaceful way! My heart goes out to you both! Well shoes for a speed fast recovery [emoji813]️ Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Guys! I'm 10 days post op. I've been wearing a binder to the extent where it fits comfortably. I'm home alone with my two-year-old and my husband is out with my oldest girls. I was freezing so today was the first time I bent over to put my socks. I got the worst pain ever in the chest area. But it was not my chest it was my stomach.I ate a Fudgsicle about an hour ago. I have not had any thing to drink. Got up and walked around and that pain that made me feel nauseated and gave me a cold sweat and clammy hands is gone now. It really freaked me out. Imagining the worst keeling over with my 2 year old in the house. I burped a couple burps and that pain has subsided. Has anyone experienced this? Was it trapped gas that I burped up or was it a cramp from bending over to put my socks on.. I did not like that feeling at all.. help!

I'm very sensitive to smells especially mouth odors... and now I'm on the offending end 🤢 I've worked in oral surgery for 28 some years and I can smell rotting enamel and perio.. Since surgery I have yuck mouth and I cannot make it go away. Granted, water intake isn't up to what I used to consume and my diet has been almost keto like... this morning my breath was so bad it made me nauseous..🤢 10 days post op sleeping 1/2 way seated upright.. I don't want to have that breath.. smells like I'm pooping out of my mouth...🤢🤢🤢🤢 Any suggestions? Will it go away soon? Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Yes I have and it does work! But I've also incorporated a small amount of carbs to my puréed and that's helped a lot Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Not thrush just an overly bad smell... so bad my husband was chasing the baby around telling her to get back cause he needed to change her poopy diaper and all along it was my breath 🤢I've scrubbed the heck out of my tongue brushed flossed gargled it's going away somewhat with the addition of carbs Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Thanks I'll step up on a few carbs! Sounds real good! Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Thanks! I definitely will not forget that feeling [emoji27] Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

I'm on full liquids (well graduated to puréed at week one which I'm not crazy about) but my surgeon said no carbs.. :-/ I see you have chicken noodle or rice blenderized strained on your list..so tempting.. Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Worse feeling! I've been cleared to puréed which I'm on the fence about.. and I've had a fudgesicle and I didn't experience this.. thank you for your feedback. I sure do appreciate! Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

I hope you recover soon! I tried samples of bariatric advantage multi! YUKKKK it has a bitter taste. The multivitamin fusion is nice it actually tastes like flinstone kids vitamins. The cherry bariatric advantage B12 and calcium citrate chewable from bariatric advantage are ok. I received samples from my Drs office and the bariatric dept at the hospital. If you can get samples before purchasing a bottle ask for samples!! Your Drs office or bariatric unit at the hospital may have some samples for you.
