Malice X Girl

Mine is on my left side, under my largest incision. It feels like a button about the size of a quarter...or maybe half dollar.

Haha, yes unfortuantly I do the same way. I feel as if I swallow then i risk PBing

I'm so sorry you're having trouble. Stress does that to me too, however I don't think that an unfill would hurt. >< Hugs ><

Congratulations! Can't wait to see the pictures.

So I found out I had gallstones. Finally the Dr. office calls me today to tell me that I have gallstones. Neither the nurse nor the doctor talked to me instead it was the receptionist. The conversation pretty much went like this "Hi, we got your test results in and you do have gallstones. If you are having symptoms you'll need to get it taken out. If you would like I can have the scheduling department give you a call and we can schedule your surgery." What happened to talking to the patient. Or even having the DOCTOR talk to the patient as opposed to a receptionist. Why doesn't it occur to people that I might have questions such as "how quickly do I need this done?" "can it wait and I take medicine to prevent another attack" "is anything else going on?" IT IS SO FRUSTRATING TO ME!!!! I have been having problems yet instead of being listened to they say "go get a sonogram" now "go get surgery" without TALKING to people. Perhaps this goes in the rant and raves section. I don't know. I request that he go through my results with me. We'll see how it goes I guess...if not I have no idea who to find to TALK to me about what is going on. Ok...I guess i'm done. Thanks ...Malice... :help: :cry :huytsao :think :angry

Thanks for the info Genn! I've had about 3 attacks in the past month one very mild. I wonder if it's just chinese food or something that sets it off. I'm not sure. I have an appt. Wed with the doc and hopefully i'll get more information then. Thanks again!

Cashley, sorry to hear about that. Hope you are feeling better. It's crazy huh? I LOVED my doc when I first got my band, I still do but unfortuantly I haven't really gotten to see him. It's always the fill doctor and now a receptionist calling me. I feel like his office is more like a factory than an office. I just wish that they would have offered me the opportunity to sit down and discuss what was going on as opposed to me having to ask to find out information.

It's crazy huh Donna. The sad thing is that it was my band doctor. Jack I didn't know that. That is really good to know, i'll definatly have to look into that.

Jenny Craig rice, broccoli and bbq porkloin...really good!

Wow! That sucks...ALOT, however I do wish my butt was as small as yours.

I am right there with you. I can't stop eating, I think i'm stressed because of other things going on but it's horrible. My advice stay on the board and don't go near the kitchen. Good luck!

I wish! Then I wouldn't want to eat as much as I do now.

So it's 2:30 am. Woke up and my stomach was hurting...put on a heating pad. 2:35 stomach really hurting get up draw freezing bath choke down some gas-x. 2:40 in the floor crying almost because the pain is so bad (and I take pain pretty well) call mom to take me to emergency room. Lay in the floor a few minutes and then without warning or anything it goes away. WHAT WAS THIS?!? Was it just gas because it did not feel like it? It was the worst pain I think I have ever been in.

I am so sorry to hear that. You'll be in my prayers

That's interesting to know Wheetsin. Yes I have had no problem with gum or mints or anything either. I haven't found myself unable to tolerate any foods, though I know the last time I had an attack, I had chinese food and I am unsure of what I had the time before last.

So the doc wasn't supposed to tell me but got permission to. The pain I was having was due to gallstones getting stuck. OH THE PAIN! I have to wait a few days to talk to my doc after he gets the results and then we'll go from there. The problem is, I told people at work I had my gallbladder out when I was really getting the lapband. NOT GOOD. So now i'm at a loss for what to do.

Wow, I loved that, but am kinda sad now. I want to be a kid again.

If so does it affect anything? How long was recovery time? ect?

We teach...and gossip, but yes hopefully it'll all be good. I'm glad you haven't had any trouble, hopefully everything will go smoothly. I know it'll be a few days before I hear from my doc. before we even talk about who to go to next. He will refer me to someone else (because the dr. is my lapband doc) so who knows. I just hope the pain doesn't come back until we get this taken care of.

Aww...haha that's a good idea. I know I couldn't go with appendectimy because that would happen next. *Bleh! I can't afford to take time off of work, it is way too early in the year. Supposedly ALOT of bandsters have theirs removed. Who knew

Well I found out today I do have alot of gallstones, though it will be a few days before I talk to my doctor. Thank you to everyone for your ideas, and your support. I feel better now knowing what the problem is. Thank you thank you thank you

Today sucks. I am really down. I have gone off the deepend with my eating. Since my stomach thing started i have lost restriction and have gone overboard eating unhealthy stuff and not really enjoying it. I am over eating to see if I can make myself feel anything, and alas I can't. I don't know what's going on. I'm scared, and kinda down...really down. I wish I knew what was going on, wish things were back to normal. I guess this is just a wave i'm going to have to ride out.

The more i read up on it the more I think that is why I have been having problems. The kick of it all is, that at work I wanted to keep the band a secret so I told them that I was getting my gallbladder out. If it comes to that I don't know what i'll have to do. BLEH! How long was recovery?

Today is rough. For two days i have done amazing, perhaps too good because I don't think I have gotten my calories in. Today though it's all I can do not to drive to Martinez restraunt and get me dinner togo. I will not do it though, that's why I have taken to typing to get my mind off of it. Dinner is in the oven. I've worked out for two days, I feel good about that but I am finding out that it's harder today. I really don't want to go. We shall see how I feel after dinner. It's funny, I had no problem with food until I get home from work. Then my mind is free to wander. Doing well with keeping the snackable foods out of my apartment. The only thing easy to get is fruit so hopefully i'll turn to that instead of 5 (35 calorie popsicles) or 2 servings of lite chips and cheese *yumm that sounds so good right now. I really wish I didn't have this obsession with food but at least I can control it better now that I have the band. Not only does it help me eat less, but also i've come so far that it's my motivation to keep going. I can make it through tonight...I can make it through tonight. :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint: :faint:

Thanks guys! That's a good idea MoOrless. I've gotta get a handle on things, this is getting bad. I eat because i'm stressed or down...and then I end up feeling worse. One day at a time I guess
