I am embarrassed FOR him since he doesn't seem to be embarrassed for himself. Jerk. Mimi

Shaving always risks small cuts and abrasions which could let bacteria in....leave the possible shave to the experts the morning of surgery to minimize the risk of infection. Mimi

Lap Band Surgery Day Stories
Mimilou2004 replied to pennyt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are a wonderful story teller!!!!! Good luck with your journey. Mimi -
Since you are able to drink well and eat some things I think you have time to wait and see if your band fill relaxes a bit. If you start having reflux or start barfing and can't hold liquids down call your surgeon. Best wishes. Mimi

Those Tiffany earrings are gorgeous!!!!!! Every compliment on them would be a compliment on what you have accomplished!!!! Mimi -
May I ask what you had done? I think the best advice to be given is to follow what your surgeon says. They are the most experienced in the field. Good luck. Mimi

With a name like Tapshoes, I think you are a good candidate for PS. Of course, I could be projecting because I will be at least 58 before I am down enough for PS and intend to have the TT and boob job. I set up a savings account that I call my PS account. We hopefully have many years to enjoy our new flat tummies and perky boobs and we are worth it!!!! Best Wishes, Mimi

My trainer overseas my nutrition, too, and I had to teach her about the band. I think the most important thing is if your personalities are compatible and your goals are understood and accepted by the trainer. I also agree that it is good to have a trainer who has worked with obese ppl before. Best wishes. Mimi

Should I wait to see if I need an unfill?
Mimilou2004 replied to jazie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree, trust your instincts, I kept putting off the unfill for 3 weeks and suffered needlessly. The wt loss wasn't worth the sliming and barfing and PB'ing. Good luck. Mimi -
Your doctor should be disciplined!!! What a jerk. It sounds like you need a small adjustment and he is neglecting you. I wish you luck assserting yourself or finding another doctor. I just went through it for 3 weeks and got a small unfill 2 days ago and feel like I got my life back. My PA probably thinks I am nuts, but I don't care, I know what I am living. Let us know how you do. Mimi

It sure sounds like you have a leak, and for that I am sorry. I hope and pray that it is only the port leaking. Best wishes and good luck. Mimi

First fill (yay!) But only 2cc?
Mimilou2004 replied to FarmGirl7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with Sistasassy. Sneaking up on the restriction is best, I have had my last 3 fills unfilled and today am going for a 4th unfill. Life is not enjoyable when you can't keep regular food down, but want restriction so badly. Mimi -
Yes, thank you for letting us know. She will be missed. Mimi

Do you use a straw?
Mimilou2004 replied to Sarah.R's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was paranoid for a long time, too, and wouldn't use one. Then one day last week I realized I had been using one all day with no ill effects so now I use one all the time. Good luck. Mimi -
Would you get breast implant.....??
Mimilou2004 replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Congratulations, Mum, how about some pictures? Mimi -
Explain your perfect restriction and how much you could eat
Mimilou2004 replied to Monica's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Melissa, in my opinion you aren't in need of a fill. It sounds like if you get one you won't be able to eat protein at all. I, too, can eat salad well. It must get chewed into slider food and go right through the band because of the high water content. Of course, some ppl can't tolerate salads the way we can. Mimi -
Tina, thanks for the pictures, you look FABULOUS!!!!!!! Mimi

Sue, thank you for sharing, you look fabulous!!!! Mimi -
My initial goal wt was the published standard, then as time went by I upped it to what I thought was reasonable for me. I decided that there is a certain number of calories I am not willing to go below and a certain amount of exercise I am not willing to exceed and that meeting place is the weight I will level off at. Good luck with your decision. Mimi
