gone 4 ever

You are defiantly dehydrated! If you can't get into see him today you might need to go to the ER.This is nothing to play with. Try to drink some hot tea. It might go down as the warmth helps to relax the band some. Keep us posted please.

By my Dr.'s orders I am not allowed to eat for 24-48 hrs after a fill. Clear liquids and jello only the first 24, the next thick soups and pro. shakes. Day 3 mushies and if you have no trouble then on the evening I can eat a regular meal. I tried to eat to soon after my first fill and found out real quick that I need to listen to my Dr. You are swollen after a fill and if you try to eat you pb it back up. You will stay swollen for a while every time you have a bad pb. Just do liquids for a day or two. But 1st call your Dr. and explain and see if he wants you to do liquids.

Tina, My thoughts and prayers are with you for your PS. Keep us posted on how your doing. We love ya hon.:smile:

I would call my Dr. ASAP! You could end up dehydrated.

Weightview.com will show you 50 lbs lighter. But you need to be side ways. Its a cool sight. I sent mine in a while back. I will be sending it again in 10 more lbs.

I'm fine with popcorn. Some people have trouble with it though. More I think cause it can get stuck. Good luck.:drool:

Hello again Betty Joe. There is an age specific thread on here. Just go to it because there are people of all ages. Just look for your age and go in there and see what else you may find out.:drool: Age Specific Lap-Band Support Groups (NEW!) - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum

hello Betty Joe, I don't know which Dr. here in Bama you called. What location of Bama you looking for? My Dr. Is in Albertville and Guntersville (he has 2 offices). His name is Dr. Groves. Here is his phone number 256-840-5547 and his web sit www.1samc.com Dr. Groves has the band himself. His partner Dr. Britt done his. Good luck. Please keep us posted.

I am the same way slim. I still see the before me. I have finally reached the 60lb mark and as happy as I was, when I looked in the mirror I seen pre- op me. I am the lowest I have weighed in probably 9 yrs or so. I should be jumping up and down for joy, but am having difficulty accepting what the scales and tape measure tell me.:drool: I think part of it is they make clothed different than they did before. (size wise) because I have some 2x non stretch pants from way back when, and they fit. The new 2x pants I bought a few months ago in anticipation don't even go over my hips. I still have some 3x shirts that don't fit very well that I bought before surgery and they didn't fit then. 3x is what I was wearing before surgery. Must be they way they are made or labeled wrong. Sorry I kinda took over the post. Extra's haven't been cut off as of yet. So that is a good thing. It would be a blessing if they don't get shut off right away. Then maybe I might get a call for a perm. job. I have worked 2 days this past week thru the temp services. Hopefully I will be kept busy so I can get caught up on my bills. I pray you all have a safe and Happy Easter.

Good luck with it Amy. Do you have enough writers? My daughter writes. Maybe have an article about family of banders and how it effects them? Just a thought. I can't waite to see it in my Dr's office.

PJTP...Morning everyone. Ebony I pray things will work out to your advantage. Like everyone has said DOCUMENT. CC..He's still in my prayers Susan glad you are back and doing better. Are you on liquids for 2 weeks or longer? Plain....what can I say..just gotta love ya. I will probably be offline for a while come tomorrow. I'll be back on as soon as I can. Take care everyone.

Your welcome sweetie. I hope that it helps you. I am a cheeseaholic! I eat cheese with just about every meal. I eat block cheese and laughing cow cheese. I have always been a big cheese eater. That is the 1 thing I can't seem to give up. I usually don't eat sliced cheese like kraft singles. Not a big fan of it. Keep me posted!:glare:

She's in the news again. She has supposedly signed a reality show contract. But the name octomom cannot be used. I can't get the web addy to work when I post it here. Go to MSNBC weird news.
