Did you have to have an endoscopy pre-op??
Malice X Girl replied to jillrn's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey i'd love more info on the endoscopy if you could tell me. I am about to go in for my one year mark and wonder how much it costs, what's involved, how you felt afterwards ect. -
HELP! Need Endoscopy Information
Malice X Girl replied to Malice X Girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wow that's more than I expected...they are just going to give me a pill for twilight sedation so hopefully it won't be that much money. Thanks for the info. Anybody have anything else to add? -
I am going for an endoscopy the day before thanksgiving...it's routine but I have been told that my band has slipped slightly (or is it stretched) and I feel as if it will be worse when I go for my endoscopy. I had a bad flu incident and couldn't stop throwing up. What can I expect with an endoscopy...what happens if they find something wrong? Will it interfere with my thanksgiving? HELP!

Good to know...thanks. Do you know how much the endoscopy cost? I have insurance but am still wondering a round about number. -
I don't know how to make this a poll so...

My port bothers me on a regular basis...SO worth it though -

A thread for Single Bandsters
Malice X Girl replied to NewBeginnings2018's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The band has going to be a secret...it will be hard letting someone in and letting them know about the band especially since 4 out of 5 friends don't know i've had it done. However with the port and the gurgling it's not going to be easy to hide it...plus the fact i can't eat much -
Hey guys I've been wondering. Why do our ports bother us? Sometimes I think it's because I eat too much but I haven't over eaten today (at all) and it's still bothering me. I have plans for tonight and don't want to be hindered by my port bothering me. How do you guys stop it from hurting? I keep thinking maybe it's inflamed muscle but we can't take any antiinflamitory drugs...

Is it harmful to taste food then spit it out?
Malice X Girl replied to raynie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I say chewing and spitting is better than eating. But that's just me. -
It's driving me nuts, my port hurts. Typically every day in the evening my port hurts. I thought at first I was eating to much but now I don't think that is it. I am a year post op. Why do I have port pain?
-
Does anyone know the answer?
Malice X Girl replied to Malice X Girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't see how I could be eating too much but maybe that's it...or excersise because I feel it after spin class...just really annoying. Thanks! -
Short and sweet but I wonder how his wife would feel. I mean I know alot of times at that age it becomes about having a companion and not necessarily anything more than that. I know if it were my husband I would want him to have somebody there, especially since he wouldn't be used to being alone.

Hey guys. I have a question for all you knowlegeable bandsters. I have had acid reflux for the first time last night. I had a few drinks (which I haven't done in I don't know how long) and last night and this morning i've been having reflux. What does this mean with the band. Could this just be a one time thing because I drank or what? Thanks!

Acid reflux...and the band
Malice X Girl replied to Malice X Girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Ok thanks for the info. I knew that sometimes it could hurt the band but maybe it was a one time deal, we can hope anyway. I didn't eat much last night, my band seemed to be having one of those "i'm going to be super tight feeling for no reason" but things seem fine this morning, aside from the reflux which I had never felt before. -
Thanks, I have signed up for personal training sessions but I wasn't sure of weight limitations because of the band.
-
I was banded about a year ago, gallbladder surgery 3 weeks ago. I am wanting to start weight training. Are there weight limitation on what you can do on resistance machines (not free weights)? Can I hurt anything? What about biking? Thanks!

PORT (re)placement and esthetics
Malice X Girl replied to RavensRiches's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes there is a low profile port that can be changed out. It is about the size of a dime. Talk to your doc. And congratulations!!!! -
NO you'll be good to go. Don't sweat it, just let the dr. know.
-
I am so close to goal for the first time in my life...yet i've started eating horribly! Almost as if i'm sabatoging myself, or perhaps have just gotten too comfortable with my current weight. Bleh! What do you do when you want to kick yourself back into gear?
-
100% yes if I had the money
-
Spydr, that's great news! Wish you could upload the video of you swinging/flying. It's good to see you again, I always look for you when I visit the dr.s office.

Steril strips...when can they come off?
Malice X Girl replied to Malice X Girl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks for the info. I will try to keep them on a bit longer....i guess -
I had gallbladder surgery a little more than a week ago. The steril strips are still on there but they are dirty looking and peeling at the corners. When can they come off? WHen can I pull them off? Thanks
-
How long does your doc have you stay on liquids after you get a fill?
-
Do you ever feel like somedays you fight as hard as you can against yourself to keep yourself from eating everything in sight... And then other days... You are fighting to get enough calories in in one day?
