2009 - New York City Banded Together-Lapband Talk National Event
Acactusflower replied to CoachCher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I will have to wait for one in Las Vegas. I would definitely attend one on the west coast. -
So sorry not to respond sooner, I'm new to here and really don't know how to navigate around here :-)

something I have to get off my chest.....I HATE PCOS!!!
Acactusflower replied to ThinDolphin3's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Dolphin, Be patient. Have faith that the weight will come off. I am going on 11 months since getting banded and I've only lost 42 lbs. I have felt the same frustration you have. I have gone down 2 pants sizes so I know the exercise I'm doing is working. I work out at least three times a week and incorporate cardio and weight resistance training. We didn't put the weight on overnight so we can't expect it to come off overnight. -
I was banded September 17, 2007 and I still burp alot. The gas is not so bad now. Gas X now has strips that you place on your tongue and the taste isn't so bad. It helps alot.

Who's up for a 'Vegas reunion' party in 2010
Acactusflower replied to siouxsie sioux's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm there. I'm in Henderson, NV. Banded by Dr. Atkinson September 17, 2007. Keep us posted on when and where. Sounds like a blast! -
Hi GG. Yes I was banded September 17, 2007. I've lost 42 lbs and have gone down 2 pants and shirt sizes. I'm no longer a diabetic and I feel absolutely wonderful! I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

13 days post-op and feeling desperate
Acactusflower replied to lafrogura's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You shouldn't be feeling desperate 13 days postop. For the first 3 or 4 weeks after surgery you should only be on fluids. You may not be able to take in the full 4 oz. at one time but you can have unlimited fluids. You should not be eating solid food yet. You have to give your stomach time to heal. I started soft, mushy foods on the fourth or fifth week after surgery. After your first fill you should feel some restriction. Good luck.
